Delighted to have been able to chat with @mssackstein.bsky.social and @crystalfrommert.bsky.social about learning and using AI as a tool. #Edusky podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e...

I really need to edit the @wikipedia.org more. It's amazing what one focused person can do. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jess_Wade

Wow @ucberkeleyofficial.bsky.social. Really? Wow. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Prayer has always been in school. HOW one prays is a different story because Muslims, Jews, & others have different rituals. But no one can stop anyone from praying from their spirit & that is true for ALL religions, not just the one implied. www.newsweek.com/donald-trump...

This US Men’s Tennis match! Wow.

Because reading is good for you. “Fiction builds the muscle memory for nuance, contradiction, and imagination.”https://www.businessinsider.com/ceos-business-leaders-books-fiction-not-nonfiction-2025-9

Sen. Warren Daniel (R–NC, District 46) was caught trading stocks right on the Senate floor. Didn’t even wait for a break. Playing the market on the taxpayers’ time…pure abuse of power.

US Women’s Open is DELIVERING!!

Thinking about community and human flourishing, two things we seem to be struggling with these days, as I prepare for this semester. open.substack.com/pub/ejrobert...

Let me sum up: The purpose of education is to learn how to think critically. I submit the education system has failed catastrophically. open.substack.com/pub/ejrobert...

Think of #Gloo as highly intrusive with little to nothing to do with building biblical community in the Church. www.technologyreview.com/2025/08/19/1...

www.forbes.com/sites/danpon.... And stop assuming "old" ppl don't know how to use tech or can't learn it. I mean, who do you think designed the earlier gens of what you're using now?

I appreciate the sentiment, I do. But wouldn't it be amazing if companies just really meant that they value their customers and acted accordingly? Then the federal government could do more than run interference for customers. www.fastcompany.com/91381962/cla...

"It's not what enters men's mouths that's evil," said the alchemist. "It's what comes out of their mouths that is." The Alchemist, Paulo Coelho.

Read in a dissertation proposal: ". . . scarcity can lead to tunneling (hyper-focus on the scarcity), which leads to bandwidth tax (diminished cognitive and executive functioning), which leads to poor decision-making, which leads to more scarcity." Just something to think about.

Yea, we knew that. It's been dead for a while now, so thanks for catching up. Y'all think AI is going to take care of everything, but you don't seem to pay attention to why customers call customer service &

If you are a high school #teacher, think about reading this book & finding a way to use it. Protagonist is 16. Could be accessible to some 9th graders.

I'm a moderate Republican #NeverTrumper. I keep hoping some members of the GOP will snap out of the cult haze. I despair of Dems doing more than posturing & writing strongly worded letters. @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov It's great optics to give long emotionally-wrought speeches,

I'm not surprised. I don't see this getting much better any time soon. www.businessinsider.com/older-americ...

Just so we're clear, @hersheyco.bsky.social: The price of chocolate may go up by 10% and packaging may shrink, and that means we'll be paying 10% more for less. Got it. www.today.com/food/news/he...

Will the FCC demand the same of Fox? I doubt it.

I'm a writing & literature teacher, but let's do some math anyway. The CBO tells us that Tr&mp's big bastard of a bill will add $3.4 TRILLION to the already projected deficit of $21.8 TRILLION, all over the next decade.

So there’s this. #colbert fortune.com/2025/07/23/p...

Huh. www.newsweek.com/roy-black-de...

Just an observation.

Summer anticipation.

It’s July, people.

I just wonder if this is okay with the oath to defend the #Constitution. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

1. Nearly everything the current administration does or has done will have catastrophic results for many. 2. While government efficiency is an admirable goal, mindless wholesale cuts are the opposite of optimizing for efficiency. 3. No media, mainstream or otherwise, can cover every catastrophic

I've been watching the Tour de France. Stage 10 before a rest day tomorrow. Man, I'm exhausted. #cycling #TourdeFrance

I've been listening to this podcast, hosted by Mike Cosper: www.christianitytoday.com/podcasts/dev.... It is fascinating. I didn't become a believer until after college, so after a lot of what occurred through the 70s, and I'm not sure I was aware of much of this even later.

This has become a common play: blame Biden when they screw up. Seriously? www.axios.com/2025/07/13/t...

I sometimes wonder how differently the men would play if they had only 3 sets rather than 5. #tennis

#AI #literacy + #digital literacy in schools--#K12 and #college--cannot be add-ons or afterthoughts. They must be co-mingled bc AI literacy can be part of digital literacy, & those literacies must be integrated in lessons, assignments, & everyday conversations. (www.forbes.com/sites/bernar...)

I would love to see higher education organizations be involved in this as well. AFT & United Federation of Teachers directly impact the Ss we see in college. How about some superior vertical articulation? #highered @aaup.org www.aft.org/press-releas...

So LM get this straight… Ghislaine Maxwell is in prison for trafficking girls to… nobody? No client list, even though AG Pam Bondi literally said it was sitting on her desk. 2,000 names in the little black book, but the court sealed it and the media shut up.

Still thinking about the purpose of #education. No simple answers. open.substack.com/pub/ejrobert...

Another episode worth listening to. I mean, all of what @99pi.org produces is worth listening to, but some episodes ring a few more bells. This episode with Ezra Klein is one of them. 99percentinvisible.org/episode/629-...
