Heard Canada is going to be in Eurovision and I'm obligated to share one of my favorite meta-Eurovision songs. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnXp...

If you've ever wondered what it was like to read Cubberley in context... this essay is basically that. (Truly, it's an exceptionally schoolman essay that hits nearly every circa 1890-1920s efficiency argument.)

Fabulous line up for an AMA today on @askhistorians.bsky.social! Drs. Robert Bland, Sharron Wilkins Conrad, and Karen Cox! They study the histories of race, racism, and political activism in the US following the Civil War and through the Civil Rights Movement. old.reddit.com/r/AskHistori...

Because New York State passed the Dignity for All Act in 2010. The Supreme Court decision changes nothing for trans kids in NYS - they can continue to play. (That one supe on Long Island is going to keep trying to stir up nonsense but it's just noise.)

Important reporting, careful and beautiful writing, and devastating details about what’s at stake for those losing Medicaid support and with the Trump admin abandoning the right of disabled Americans to live at home

I also want to draw your attention to a little linguistic trick that anti-trans groups have been using for years. Notice that they're not saying "men from women's sports" or "boys from girls' sports," but "men from girls' sports." This is intentional, and is meant to conjure up specific imagery.

if you're trans, you have to live. one day you can live to see these guys all die.

That image of a golden eagle on the exterior of the White House is AI-generated. There is no such decoration on the Truman Balcony—at least not at this time.

#BREAKING: #SCOTUS *denies* certiorari in one of the two E. Jean Carroll cases ("Carroll II," to the folks who follow closely). That presumably clears the way for Carroll to collect the $5 million judgment (the $83.3 million judgment in Carroll I remains under appeal):

I’ve been trying to determine who drew and engraved these illustrations but I’m out of ideas. The monogram looks like either CNB or CMB or perhaps CHB. The illustrations are from the book, Paul Kent the Choir Boy by Anne Maria Mitchell. It was published in Philadelphia by Richard McCauley in 1869.

Big week over at The Onion. — Thursday: InfoWars launches live at 8 p.m. ET on YouTube, Twitch and wherever you watch video. New handles and everything. Expect surprises. It is insane. — Friday: An entire history of the country, AMERICA: Birth of a Nation, airs at 8 p.m. ET on all Onion channels.

This is a well-written, interesting piece and I tell you what, as a volunteer with an organization dedicated to depolarization through conversations... it's a rough read. That said, the org I volunteer with was founded in 2016, has barely any money and isn't that active on campus colleges. Also.

your appalling must-read for the weekend

I missed this earlier today. BFD for higher education (for now)

I am absolutely confident in the next month or so, there's going to be a piece that talks about the improvement in testing scores since the state takeover of Houston ISD. And it will be written in a neutral academic voice and likely conclude the takeover was good for staff and students.

I'm an absolute sucker for a retelling of True Grit that gets the important stuff right. On a not unrelated note, I really liked the new Supergirl movie.

Thrilled to report our study of Rogan’s audience is published! 2 datasets. 2 different years w range of socio-demog, political, trust-oriented, & epistemic predictors. (Also: Working w @stecula.bsky.social @prowag.bsky.social & @dvshah.bsky.social was stupid fun) www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

The article clarifies a few important points. There were not voters present at the time and the agents had no right to go into the building. Also, both Commissioners - Republican and Democrat - sound rightly pissed.

This is what we think of as the AskHistorians Hat Trick, a rare and auspicious occurrence that is cause for an extended period of ritual celebration in Slack.

“Abortion bans don’t stop abortions, but they do kill people. They kill women, in higher numbers, but in many of the same, preventable ways, that these women were dying before. All of which was completely and utterly predictable.” - @amylittlefield.bsky.social www.thenation.com/article/soci...

I took the internet's advice and watched the Jimmy Awards. Theater kids really are the best. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yi6g...

🚨 I'm hiring for a (Senior) Research Associate position to work with me on a broad research agenda focused on teacher labor markets. Great opportunity to be a part of the vibrant @annenberginstitute.bsky.social community of researchers at Brown University. Links in reply Please spread the word

as a committed centrist, it saddens me that both parties are falling captive to their extremes - the right to insurrectionist cultists who want to invade american cities, and the left to socialists who want better bus service

Absolutely thrilled Aaron Geiss won in NY 23. A proper stand up guy who is going to give Langworthy a run for his money.

OMG THE POLL WORKERS ALL APPLAUDED MY SON AS HE VOTED FOR THE FIRST TIME TODAY 😍😍

This is very well done and a tad frightening (said as a frequent pedestrian and bicyclist.)

If voting is your thing, voting in hyper local elections has more impact on your day to day life than national elections. Yet people focus on the national over the local.

“Vandals … poured corrosive and destructive chemicals into the Pool.”

Episode 8 of Window's Bay is going in my personal canon of best episodes of TV. Patricia is awesome.

“At least every other trauma alert that we get from EMS is a kid that was on an e-bike or e-scooter,” says a Florida-based pediatric emergency room doctor who creates medical content under the name Dr. Beachgem. “We’re seeing really, really dramatically injured children.

I made a joke about James Bond on Instagram the other day, and this is what AI has generated since then. Obviously, there’s literally nothing true about this, and it is fucking hilarious. As a certified AI hater, I LOVE when it gets it things so incredibly wrong.

Alex Jones has gotten richer since a jury decided he owed the Sandy Hook families more than $1 billion. But they still haven’t seen a cent. But now they will. Thanks to the Onion.

If you watch the Obama Library, the World Cup, and the Knicks parade this afternoon -- and nothing else -- you can actually see the America we're supposed to be at age 250

Pregnant mothers often wrote goodbye letters to their families in case they died in childbirth.

Linda McMahon says she heard parents. Parents say special education changes show she didn’t listen. - by @lilyalta.bsky.social & @ericameltzer.bsky.social www.chalkbeat.org/2026/06/17/p...

One thing I learned when I was just out of college and watching 6-8 hours of Fox News a day for my research job at Media Matters: Ingesting hours of propaganda on a daily basis changes you, no matter how smart you think you are. If you don't notice the changes, that just makes you an easier mark.

A note (following another heads-up letting me know my name is being used in a scam): NPR has a page meant to help figure out whether any contact you might get from NPR is real. Purely an FYI if it’s ever helpful; I know a lot of this is familiar.

Several students wrote of the moral confusion implicit in a college that promotes AI and says don't cheat but makes it really, really easy to cheat. One said they don't pay attention to AI policies because they don't think the college really wants to know what's going on. 9/

I am so excited to see this book out in the wild! And I hope (like desperately and with all fingers and toes crossed) that it helps new (and new-ish) teachers in any small way. Thank you for making available for those people, @msommerville.bsky.social!

My heart. It has been broken.

The woman in the link below calls it "respect for everything." If we need one English word, I would nominate "stewardship" — care for people, matter, the land, anything that enables us to live responsibly.

A recreation of the 1913 Suffrage Procession but with more horses.

Some of my greatest experiences on my bike have been acting as a volunteer for the local elementary school bike bus because it means I have to power to clear cars off the road for the kids. It rules. (The power. And the absence of cars. In equal measure.)

On a different social media app teachers are pointing out that the exam is scheduled for the middle of two science Regents exam and kids are going to be choosing between the parade and graduating in June.
