Learning to pause and rest after years of overdoing… I bought a new gaming system and decided to learn how to work a controller with more than two buttons.

There are now more U.S. troops deployed in Los Angeles than in Iraq and Syria combined. 4,800 Guard and Marines on American streets. 2,500 troops in Iraq. 1,500 in Syria. Hell of a flex, America—treating your own people like a war zone.

We are sinking down into a Marianas Trench of disinformation.

Mon Mothma vibes

you say the left is fragmented and almost non-existent. yeah that's because the last 50 years they’ve been infiltrated, jailed, exiled, discredited, absorbed or assassinated.

Today In Autism

Walk and run pencil tests for The Secret of Kells (2009), dir. Tomm Moore and Nora Twomey, Cartoon Saloon Animation by Fabian Erlinghäuser and Barry Reynolds

How long before MAGA starts wearing orange bronzer and JDV eyeliner like some kind of Jim Jones Insane Clown Posse?

The right-wing attack on universities and the widespread use of ChatGPT to replace thinking and writing are two sides of the same relentless assault on what the Greeks called paideia: the education and development of citizens as ethical beings engaged in their communities.

"But this is a blurry invasion from within, an autoimmune disorder of the state, an army of Manchurian candidates, and a zombie horror movie...."

25% tariff on a whiskey drink 37% tariff on a Vodka drink 85% tariff on a Lager drink 110% tariff on a cider drink 132% tariff on songs that remind you of the good times 138% tariff on songs that remind you of the better times

Chemtrails crowd wants to STOP air Q monitoring. Huh. How about that.

Sith I have cause, and will, and strength, and means To do’t.

No, there is a Child Pencillionaire somewhere who has hoarded *all* of the pencils. This is why teachers are continually asked for one by all of the other children.

your child will toil valiantly in the factory. it will be masculine. it will restore our national character. it will make america great again. oh my child? my child will run a lucrative rightwing podcast

Godammit

Yes there is. “Run Like Hell” from Pink Floyd’s “The Wall.” Also “In the Flesh?”

I read this and took off my smartwatch. I will never put one on again.

Extra champagne in the back of the fridge improves efficiency.

Locally organized groups need to start working to get locals ready for the midterms. We have less than 2 years to get everyone proof of citizenship. I mean every HUMAN.. the magats can figure it out on their own. If you haven't already Organize locally NOW www.indivisible.org

Real talk... my autism impedes my life in ways I can't ignore. It makes life super hard for me. But there are several nifty things it does to my brain that I don't often spend time celebrating. So... Autism: the positives. At least through my eyes...

Look not too long in the face of the fire, O man! Never dream with thy hand on the helm!

Imagine that. Is there any doubt in anyone’s mind they were tipped off? They are laughing at us all. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

And this one requires us to unite to fight the good fight. But you are NOT alone. We have people supporting us outside our borders: youtube.com/shorts/HrC-B...

F*ck.

I suppose writing a book and publishing articles as I develop it is the standard way to get that out there; but what, these days, gains traction in the Ed world that isn’t profit / big-data oriented? We are selling our children to the corporations and my little book may not do much to stop it.

I am working on a rubric that’s designed to re-integrate the listening, reading, writing, and sharing processes in K-12. One that is set up to “defeat” a lot of the influencing factors in US K12 classrooms: Phones. 1990’s style testing-oriented rubrics. The grade-focusing power of PowerSchool etc.

Target foot traffic falls for the eighth consecutive week after the retailer ended its DEI programs. Meanwhile at Costco, which kept its DEI programs, foot traffic has been up for 13th straight weeks.

Bin Laden couldn't even dream of damaging America on this scale.

What the actual fuck:

Why does Pete Hegseth have a Russian email address??

Good question. Why DOES Pete Hegseth have a Russian phone number? 🤨

referring to pete hegseth as whiskeyleaks is one of the funniest things i’ve seen in a while. good job, guys.

Among the men and women at the top of the list of greatest Americans is Frederick Douglass

The Republican Party, in charge of the US government, is kidnapping human beings and sending them to offshore torture camps with no charge no defense and no trial in defiance of the law and court orders and common decency. Fucking Nazis.

An arrest of these… I don’t even have the words for these people… these traitors… would do much to restore the rule of law in the US.

Don't be afraid to call things by what they are. MAGA is a terrorist organization, ICE is a secret police force conducting Ethnic Cleansing, Elon Musk is an oligarch, and Trump is a foreign backed coup d'état figurehead. This is not an administration, this is a regime, and your country is occupied.

“He Used to Cut the Grass,” now centrally scrutinized for your listening pleasure.

The people used the power of the state to this innocent man to a gulag in a foreign country should face trail in the Hague.

Now is an excellent time to start keeping a diary or journal. We’ve seen first hand how easily information can get scrubbed from the internet. Don’t rely on your socials to tell your story. Document atrocities. Share moments of hope. Make sure future generations know how we fell into fascism.

🏀 #MarchMadness is here so let's talk basketball! 🤔 Sports fandom is a great way to teach about confirmation bias & motivated reasoning. 🔗 Use this poster to help students learn to recognize cognitive biases: bit.ly/CognitiveBia... #EduSky

I really want to believe this is parody at this point

this interview makes me want to crawl out of my skin and for the life of me I don’t understand why there is no secular liberal arts in high schools movement www.edweek.org/teaching-lea...

to be very clear: in this model, courses that count for college credit will either be standardized by a corporation OR will neither require nor reward knowledgeable instructors because AI will take care of “transmission” while teachers provide “support”
