Artemis II: The Search for Curly’s Gold

Had just the right number of pylons

In the seat between babies on the plane (in front of and behind me) who are having a staring contest. Catching some pretty cute stray glances and the occasional errant tap on the head. Pretty cute plane antics, all considered

Ok Kornet now do gambling

This will be extremely familiar to Latin Americans and indeed Filipinos that remember the 20th Century

i think jesse jackson was one of the most important american political figures of the post-war era and i think that his 1984 and 1988 campaigns for the democratic nomination still have a great deal to teach about forging a path to a more egalitarian world. RIP.

The streeteries are coming down in MtP and @mayorbowser.dc.gov is killing the one good thing that came out of the pandemic

Even the rats have had enough. @popville.bsky.social @washprobs.bsky.social

Rest in Peace.

Nick Sirianni is what happens when you wish for a perennial championship contender on a monkeys paw. Sigh. Go Birds.

Commies having a lot of success with the all PI offense right now. I wonder if @janecoaston.bsky.social is watching

The Grinch Connection

Someone is BLASTING Olivia Dean on the way to kid drop off at school and… I don’t hate it.

Bing Bong

Lice. Lice again. The child has hair most would die for but that lice will kill to live in. I hate it.

I named my fists Grandpa and Simpson because I’m going to shake them when I yell at clouds

@disneyprimevideo.bsky.social buy the rights to this ASAP

I hope someone is writing "12 Hangry Men" about the sandwich guy jury

If this sandwich beef case was any juicer I’d put it on weck

you've got to click around on this map, and the graphics here ... it's astounding. @haidee.bsky.social did such a great job with this:

i've been spiraling about "what is the point of learning" lately so i wrote a blog about it defector.com/learning-is-...

Using “-ai” in my searches is my new super power for eliminating that drek.

Deltron 3030 at the last minute?!

The nonstop helicopters over DC is getting really old

My local jazz night has a late 70s ish dude killing it on the recorder. I look forward to it every Tuesday.

I saw Howard University Security blocking cars from entering campus and that feels like the one LEO action I’ve seen in the city this week that might help people feel safer.

Just watched the season finale of The Bear and now I am going to watch the Oldboy hallway scene to come down gradually

Thursday! My workshop "Why Points, Prizes, and Tigerbux Don't Work (And What To Do Instead)" - for PBIS skeptics, PBIS haters, and teachers who want to support kids without complicated rewards systems! Plus other summer learning, all the details here: bit.ly/ASVsummer

Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't want you to know the name of her opponent but will try every desperate attempt to save her seat. My name is Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, farmer, and I'm running against MTG. Can spread the word?

The establishment is never unbeatable; only unchallenged. Take 'em on. @runforsomething.net will help. runforwhat.net

Sad that I didn’t see a single headline that read “Trump Ante’s Up with MOP strike on Iranian nuclear facilities

Durden Kruger effect is when you think you are both (a) real and (b) a great fighter

I don’t think it is an exaggeration to say this is the emptiest I have ever seen the Mall for a widely publicized event. The Smithsonian Folk Life Festival is much more packed than this

Learn who Melissa Hortman was, and what was taken from us.

Boris Kodjoe accidentally stepped on my foot in Times Square and we were both surprised. Nicole Arí Parker nicely said “apologize!” and we both awoke from our momentary stupor, he apologized, and I said something like “no worries, Boris Kodjoe”

I deeply hope Sly Stone and Brian Wilson rest well. They gave us whole worlds. 💚

I cannot stop wheezing

must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away

I think most of us value growth mindset and the idea of revision in our classrooms. I also know that making a culture of revision a reality is really hard/overwhelming to do. (But when it works? It can do so much good.) thebrokencopier.substack.com/p/a-culture-...

The rules of strategic ranked-choice voting are these: 1. Rank the people you like in order of how much you like them. 2. Fill out the lower rungs of the ballot with people you're meh about, if necessary. 3. Don't rank the candidates you despise. That's it. That's all the strategy you need.
