The Clash’s ‘Lost In The Supermarket’ recasts the giddy highs of the Modern Lover's ‘Roadrunner’ as a dehumanized forced march through suburban hellscapes and special offers. Maybe the best song written about the acute, paradoxical loneliness of the high consumer age. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZw2...

Adding math thinking into class routines throughout the day helps elementary students build vocabulary and cement their learning! 💭 #MathSky #ElementaryTeacher #EduSky

The famous Andor line is that "tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle." Here is a perfect example of that through malicious compliance: Idaho forced the city of Boise to remove its Pride flags. So the city painted rainbows everywhere else.

A reminder that we put out a report that explains the shady ways technology companies are marketing and selling their devices to police, including how they come up with the claims of effectiveness. Everyone, especially journalists and law makers, should read this. www.eff.org/document/sel...

It’s also why I love reading everyone else’s books, from body horror to architecture criticism to the history of water in the West and beyond. Reading feeds us. We gotta eat.

they really said "they should have sent a poet"

The best way to explain AI in humanities classrooms is as kudzu. Much as kudzu was introduced in the 19th century and later touted for its ability to stop erosion in the 1930s, AI is invasive, takes constant culling, and instead of stopping erosion is in actuality consuming our individuality.

#ElemMathChat Q7 “Last Tile Standing” is another one of my favorites (for Tile Farm’s version go to tiletalk.tilefarm.com). I’ve chosen one of the 24 patterns above, can you think of yes/no questions that could help eliminate options? Ask and I’ll answer yes/no. Can comment below if easier.

#ElemMathChat Q5 “Notice And Wonder” is an obviously great question asking activity (shout out @mfannie.bsky.social ). Can you ask some questions about things you wonder about the above pattern? (Made in Tile Farm Studio)

#ElemMathChat Q4 Do you have any teaching techniques or activities that get your students more confident about asking questions?

I think kids think the questions they are curious about are the most important thing for the moment. I can relate! #ElemMathChat

#ElemMathChat Q3 What is the question-asking culture like in your classroom(s)?

#ElemMathChat Q2 Think back to your own experience in elementary school, or step into your students’ shoes. How does it feel to ask a question when you are curious about something?

#NoKings in Frankfort, KY today! We danced and chanted and marched. We can hold both anger and hope, joy and dissent… and put that into action.

How about a story on how so many parents are unnecessarily pushing their kids to accelerate and specialize in school and sports and the effect that has on short- and long-term well-being?

I keep having to tell students that the true "product" on a homework, essay, or test is not the completed assignment, it's the brain that has gone through the thinking required to complete the assignment.

One thing that AI evangelists seem to assume, particularly legal AI evangelists assume, is that the thinking and analysis is quick, and the writing is just tedious busywork that slows us down. But the writing IS the thinking and analysis. You work out the thinking and analysis by writing it down.

This is EXACTLY why we’ve been sounding the alarm since SSA Commissioner Frank Bisignano removed data on wait times from the agency’s website after DOGE’s mass layoffs. FEWER STAFF = LONGER WAIT TIMES FOR SOCIAL SECURITY SERVICES! @19thnews.org

I talked with @lewispants.bsky.social about the art and science of transformation, how people *really* let go of harmful beliefs, and how we can cultivate the conditions that make unlearning possible.

For my entire life, the people protesting US wars have always been ultimately vindicated and that being right is completely forgotten when the next war comes.

The thing about the U.S. and Israel is that both of their leaders are trying to stay out of prison.

This is a history lesson in why the incompetent drunkard and the brain dead pedophile shouldn’t be allowed to replace human judgment with AI.

I have to try and forcibly remind myself that it's two things at once - that we hate Trump and his cronies not just because it's fun to dunk on the mad king for clicks, but because we love the people he is hurting and our anger is on behalf of the vulnerable, which makes it sacred and honorable

When there are no consequences for the last bad thing, you'll get a next worse thing.

The Constitution gives Congress, not the president, the power to decide when the nation goes to war. President Trump’s strikes on Iran are flatly unconstitutional. There’s been no deliberation, no vote, no clear justification. This is a flagrant abuse of executive power.

Running your war from a private club for millionaires — ahead of a $1 million-a-plate dinner — is a choice.

Another war started by a Republican that claims Democrats start wars.

Ask questions… loudly and fiercely. #War #Iran #Congress open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p...

Iran did not pose an immediate threat to the United States. Trump has admitted this is a regime change war. He did this without congressional authorization. This is an unconstitutional action. Worse, he clearly has no plan for what comes next. It’s a Mad King war.

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

Sadie wants you to know you can just get up and go for a small walk instead, she believes you are worth it.

From now on, we call it "hockey" and "men's hockey."

You, an individual, cannot "fix" the whole world. You can act at the scale of your life. You should act at the scale of your life.

Q6 What are we hearing from colleagues and from students regarding what motivates them to engage with their math learning? (How are we addressing student motivation?) #ElemMathChat

Q7 Play Based learning. We love to see it. What helps us implement such learning beyond “fun Fridays” and seeing it as integral to learning mathematics? #ElemMathChat

Q5 #HQIM is hot topic–how do you define high quality instructional materials and their implementation? Other’s voices while at CMC-North Dec’25-follow for more on Instagram reel @camathcouncil www.instagram.com/camathcounci... #ElemMathChat

Q2 What type of adult learning experiences would you like to see and have as a math educator? #ElemMathChat

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

“Authoritarianism thrives where people stop expecting to be heard.” Thank you, Dr, Glass for stating this so clearly. “In a moment when democratic norms feel fragile, schools cannot afford to be neutral bystanders.” #democracy #power #education www.whatschoolcouldbe.org/blog/teachin...
