A friend working in—and enthusiastic about—AI asked me how kids were using it in K–12 schools now, so I asked my kids. Kids: "Cheating." Me: "Yeah, I figured, but have you ever had a teacher try to use it for something el—" Kids: "No, it's for cheating. For writing papers for you."

Same!

People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police

Completely agree. A new Tea Party that focuses on freedom, democracy, pluralism, the Constitution, the rule of law, and basic human decency. This new Tea Party would be the antithesis of today’s Republican Party.👇

K-pop Demon Hunters got me back into a theater for the first time since Barbie. 😏

OR maybe, like, give a shit about Florida. People who live there are victims of gerrymandering and voter disenfranchisement. The anti-book ban, pro-library folks on the ground there work harder than you can even imagine.

I search out good language learning programs like a junkie. Duolingo is pretty useless for languages (Gaelige, among others) where you need to hear human speakers, anyway. But AI is making many other programs useless.

👇🎯💯 There is no substitute for hard work & investment when it comes to education. We should stop pretending there is & stop enabling the greedy, lazy charlatans who keep telling us the sun rises in the West: bsky.app/profile/mcop...

Trump: I deserve five Nobel Peace Prizes *Bombs Iran on a whim*

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

Evergreen tweet: To the “both sides are the same!!” crowd, if you TRULY believed that then you shouldn’t be upset about what’s happening right now.

I guess Trump isn’t “anti-war” after all, huh? 🤔

How did this work out?

Donald Trump said no new wars. Remember that tonight.

at least he didn't do something truly reckless like try to forgive student loans

Been this way my entire adult life. It's hard to believe people keep falling for it.

Spent the weekend catching up with HS friends I haven't seen in 25 yrs. Trying to explain what being a public school educator was like to guys in the tech industry. Came up w/ the analogy: it's like your kid is having a sleep-over every day for 180 days. 1/ #TLSky #EduSky #SchoolLibrarians

Looks like it’s going to be a 6 martini night for Hegseth.

Trump dragging us into Israel’s stupid war. Our sons and daughters will be in danger tonight because Bibi wants to swing his dick around.

I don’t give a shit about Elon…Or Trump. Fund education and health care and social security and feed kids and demand union wages and job protections and lower house and grocery prices. The oligarchs can box it out and black each other’s eyes for all I care.

Happy Musk vs Trump day for all those celebrating.

It’s not important who wins or loses, it’s how god damn hilarious this is.

Never thought I’d say this, but I really hope Elon is not done doing drugs for the day

Nope. Never has.

He was sick. I can’t fathom the strength to get up and keep doing the job to the level he did.

Wait - Ed Martin's nomination is withdrawn and minutes later a new pope is elected?

Fucking good. www.dispatch.com/story/news/s...

Being a Librarian has always been hard and it always will be. Standing up for freedom of access to information IS hard. If you can’t handle the heat, get out of the fire. You aren’t strong enough to be a Librarian.

I guess I have to add rocks to my diet now

Donald Trump doesn’t care if car prices go up because of his tariffs. Remember that at the polls this year and next. Republicans want your prices to go up. Democrats are ready to stop them.

Yup.

The Trump regime is threatening to shut down the Social Security Administration in response to a court ruling blocking DOGE from further infiltrating the agency. If your Social Security check is late or doesn't arrive at all, remember who is to blame.

Peter Elbow, an English professor whose struggles with writer’s block led him to create a new way of teaching freshman composition that emphasized free-writing exercises, personal reflection and peer feedback over rigid academic conventions that often stifled students, died on Feb. 6 in Seattle.

School librarians improve literacy outcomes. It is time that we stop thinking of school libraries as a luxury or an outdated, quiet room. All schools need a school library staffed by a certified school librarian. #TLSky #skybrarian www.americanprogress.org/article/inve...
