Laypeople can't distinguish expert analysis from something merely expert-analysis shaped, and LLM providers exploit this. It's their whole business model, in fact. For those illiterate in the discipline, a list of bullet points cuts off thinking as surely as an actual bullet to the temple.

For those who wish to argue that I'm just being mean or hypercritical. First, no! this graph and related products are intentionally deceitful. Second, the purpose of that well funded deceit is to save wealthy taxpayers $$ while endorsing continued harm/deprivation of low income & minority children.

Last time the Knicks were NBA champions was the year the DOJ charged Fred & Donald Trump with housing discrimination based on race.

@soapboxsoftware.bsky.social Bug report: If I launch Indigo on my Mac, it does not jump to iPhone's TL position, but instead like 2 hours ago. And then that persists on my phone for days. Like, each time I go to my phone, it goes to 2 hours ago. Even if I've quite Indigo on my Mac, days ago.

How long have we known that the best way to get better at reading is to read. Practice. Practice, practice, practice. 1/ #NAEPResults

This looks like a really boring post that is TOTALLY my jam.

Also for the people saying private lives don’t matter. I DNGAF if he sexted people while married unless he’s trying to legislate against it. But if his wife wasn’t cool with it and he lied about it, that speaks to character. Because of the lying part!

www.nytimes.com/2026/06/01/u... Why is the NYT calling this an anti diversity effort rather than just plain discrimination or racism and sexism

But isn't God non-binary? Doesn't God have traits of a man and traits of a woman? Does God have testicles? Ovaries? To the extent that gender is real and not just about genitalia, doesn't God span those differences?

The Pope says FACT CHECK YOUR SOURCES

I am so sick of this logic. Because we don't want to damage the lawn, let's get rid of the lawn— or that part of it. It's just destroying the village in order to "save" it. It's the same logic as Social Security cuts. It's just so dumb. It would remain stunning how dumb these people are.

This whole short thread is excellent, and makes a very insightful point that I had not ever recognized before.

I'm sorry, what? In writing my first monograph, I spent six weeks trying to track down a citation in TWO languages I didn't know. And good thing too, because the citation was wrong. That's scholarship. That's research. You know, the thing we're trained to do?!?

Limit patrons to 1 book challenge per school year. Once the process is complete, that book can't be challenged for another 4 years. I also suggest adding a question about why they think they should be able to determine who gets access to what. Make them write down their fascism. 2/2

Pushy reminder from one school librarian to another: if you can alter your challenge policy, put a clause in there that prevents people not in your immediate school community (parents, students, staff, board) from placing challenges and limits each request to 1 book at a time. 1/2

The lesson of today is that Critical Race Theory has always been true about everything.

I’m trying to use @andrewdeanho.bsky.social plushy normal curves in my zoom background to demonstrate multidimensionality. I don’t think that it’s working. Maybe I need to donate more to the NCME mission fund to get more normal curves. ncme.org/involvement/...

The difference between this and most AI research is that this is attempting to find better answers of greater efficacy for difficult to solve problems. Most AI research is about cheaper and faster, but not necessarily better.

That means, no, it cannot. But some people imagine that it will be in the future. Of course, people IMAGINE a lot of things.

If this was an original war aim, it suggests that they always intended this war to last many months. They had a schedule. Their schedule was to be less than 1/3 done, one month in. Alternatively, there’s at least one nature lie in their statement.

@espiers.bsky.social If Felix were to say that economic slowdowns matter less in the United States because we are so service oriented in our economy, would he be correct or incorrect?

There is a kind of giving MAGA the benefit of the doubt in the sense that they’re uncomfortable attributing bad behavior to malice because some people think it’s elitist to insinuate that they’re just shitty people

They made them take down the videos because they would cause "reputational damage" to people like this young man, Nathan Cavanuagh, so definitely don't post this all over the internet with the name Nathan Cavanaugh attached, or this guy might suffer reputational damage. This guy, Nathan Cavanaugh.

I've always been a fan of the phrase, "men are people, women are women" because it speaks to so many things. This sub-heading in an article makes me wonder if it works the other way ("people are men, women are women").

I'm constantly trying (/failing) to get this point across. If you're a trained expert in a field, then it may be worthwhile to question the scientific consensus of your peers. If you're not, the scientific consensus is absolutely the best you can do and it's arbitrary foolishness to disregard it.

@jennbinis.bsky.social off the top of your head, do you know a good article that lays out the pervasive equity-excellence tension in education? A smart non-educator just asked me for one. Also, the idea of pendulums and backlash? Good article for smart lay people?

Nate Newton was found in a van with 175 pounds of marijuana. I guess he’s lucky he wasn’t in a boat in the Caribbean or Trump would’ve blown him to pieces instead of pardoning him. www.nytimes.com/athletic/704...

Take that $29 million out of the budget for the police. And permanently reduce the police budget by that amount in future years.

Storytime - for those who seem to want to push some "southern" miracle in public schooling - using Mississippi as their exemplar, but implying "red state" strategies are the policy solution - First - Mississippi doesn't catch Mass or NJ - but states like AZ & FL fall to or below Mississippi:

To add on to Anne's point about human beings - the humans positioned at the state level in different states have different charges. I.e. Mississippi hires curriculum and pedagogy experts to *direct* schools; NYS hires policy experts (and contracts with consultants) to *advise* schools.

What keeps getting glossed over in these pieces on Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi is that the successes hinge on intense human connection and intervention. Not escalating edtech. Not AI tutors. Humans showing up. #GiftLink #GiftArticle

One of the reasons I so greatly dislike the “can men and women be friends?” nonsense (yes, full stop, shut up) is that it casts suspicion on people with opposite-sex friends instead of where it more often belongs: on people with no opposite-sex friends.

The pivot to video is a tax on women's time and dignity, I will die on this hill.

Why does Pam Bondi hate Georgia Fort? "Georgia Fort is a three-time Midwest Emmy award-winning journalist who was one of two journalists in the courtroom for the sentencing of Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, who was convicted of murdering George Floyd." www.startribune.com/who-is-georg...

They are worried about this because it is what they would do. They cannot imagine that their opponents would not be behave like they themselves would. It’s a tell. It is always a tell.

@elizabethjacobs.bsky.social I was wondering, do we have a safe vaccine that prevents cancer? Does getting this vaccine, helped to prevent cancer in other people, too?

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

I never know what this means. Prepared to be math majors? Ready for calculus? Already taken calculus? Sufficient command of algebra to major in chemistry? Sufficient for initial probability statistics classes? What does this mean?

ITP on The Pitt!!!! (I had that when I was a kid. I knew Santos had to be wrong this time. And yet, I did not guess ITP.)

Really good thread. I love the analogy of LEGOs glued to a drone 🚀

Some people were confused by my ICE post. This should clear it up.

@joeposnanski.com I more than doubled the amount that your Team Gleason fundraiser has totaled! It helps that I was one of the first handful of contributors. Nonetheless, this is a proud moment for me. For anyone wondering, go to teamgleason.app.neoncrm.com/forms/poscas... to help.

If I ask you to cite your sources and you get offended I’m just gonna go ahead and assume you don’t have any.
