The FIFA World Cup Cup kicks off today. I’ll be posting film recommendations based on the countries playing each match. All of them are available to stream/rent in the U.S. Here’s the first: Mexico: IDENTIFYING FEATURES 🇲🇽 vs. South Africa: THE WOUND 🇿🇦

Mitch McConnell will receive a level of medical care he has spent his entire career preventing other Americans from having

I said what I said about racists and birthrate and celebrating child abuse. Children having fewer babies is a good thing. This is not up for discussion. If you want more *women* to *choose* to have babies? Then pay women more to do it. However much you're thinking, more than that. Make it worth it

i’m ready for the Antifa News Network.

NYT visual investigative journalist Christiaan Triebert with a vital fact check of Palantir CEO Alex Karp:

We were using Jupyter notebooks in order to integrate a bit of python and modelling at A-level

#iTeachPhysics: What's the current standard at the college/university level for lab notebooks in intro physics courses? Has it moved completely to electronic? Do folks use a dedicated app or a google doc?

ISO teachers and administrators in the following Texas school districts: Beaumont, Connelly, Lake Worth, Fort Worth, and Houston. Considering putting together a SXSWEdu panel about the impact of state takeover on our schools

Making a purposefully fucked up system even more fucked up

NEW: On Friday the Trump admin announced a proposed work permit regulation that could make it dramatically more difficult for many immigrants in the US to work to support themselves and their families, including DACA recipients, asylum seekers, and the spouses of skilled workers.

"Each child sat alone. Silent, in front of a screen, clicking away." (This was happening before AI showed up, too, it's worth noting.)

It’s been 5 years since I wrote this, which means, today makes 30 years since Chavez vs. De La Hoya. Here’s an oral history I wrote of that fight and everything it meant. www.latimes.com/sports/story...

@jessicacalarco.com hit the nail on the head in her @pnas.org editorial about why the trend towards data transparency can be complicated for qualitative research--a dilemma that came to head in our recent PNAS paper on violence. I recommend giving it a read. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

For many years, there were allegations that ICE would “release” critically ill people in hospitals so that their deaths wouldn’t be recorded as in ICE custody. To fix this, in 2021 the Biden admin required ICE to report deaths occurring up to 30 days after release. Now that rule has been dropped.

“When somebody wants us to lose funding, we’re going to lose it anyways. The difference is, did we lose it while bending the knee, or did we lose it while standing up for our values?” Chavarria said. “Either way, the outcome will be the same.” apple.news/AntBFGjBgTYe...

People don't want AI forced on them. DuckDuckGo lets you choose. The result? Since Google's AI overhaul, our U.S. installs peaked yesterday at 76% above the pre-announcement average, and we broke our single-day search record. 🔥 It's not a blip, it's a movement. Fire Google.

@soccercooligans.com wheres the diego Luna take ? Y’all gonna speak on that? I prolly missed it. If someone can help me find the clip would be very grateful thanks in advance

Andrea with the perfect synopsis of Paxton: “Yes, he's a criminal. But he's also an asshole.”

Glad this video made it to bsky

It’s almost like all surveillance, no matter the purported use, eventually becomes an extension of the carceral state.

Such good advice! I have a document summary of each unit and added a "for next year" section so that at the end of class I can add an issue or idea to remember for next year. Previously there were so many things I wanted to change, but could not for the life of me remember what they were!

It’s really important for me to reflect on assignments and grades. End of year is exhausting for all the reasons. I’m ready to disassociate and start summering. Goal this week will be to scroll my canvas courses and jot some notes down.

Another reminder: if there exists *any* class of people who don't have due process rights, then *nobody* actually has due process rights because the government can always just say you're in that class.

🚨”Presidents of University of Texas System universities can more easily eliminate academic programs and cut faculty positions in “extraordinary” circumstances, after UT System Regents approved a policy change Thursday.” www.statesman.com/news/educati...

As a chemist, I approve this message.

Education is more important school Don’t let college board into your school (any more than you already have) or they’ll fuck up your education.

Ahh, yes, we need less time studying history and more time doing whatever the hell this free labor, job training module is. As my kid wraps up high school that included something like 15+ AP courses, I have grown to loathe the College Board. Just drill and kill, test prep—not serious learning

Don’t worry the target audience will be small business owners who want to get invited to the local high school to judge business pitches/ogle at the teenage girls. The local administrator is excited because they can mark it down as community engagement. Everybody wins!

CollegeBoard is pitching teachers on contracting their high school students out for free labor? Is that right?

As a parent I super hate this. AP already feels like a scam with it’s expensive exam and “maybe you’ll get college credit” BS, the workload stresses kids out like crazy and now this? JFC

🚨 🚨 🚨 NEW: A shocking @USCIS memo seems to declare that hundreds of thousands of immigrants living in this country and applying for green cards must instead apply for visas abroad; which could MASSIVELY disrupt lives. 🧵 on what we know, and what we don’t.

I’m not even much of a USMNT Fan for assorted reasons but even I am resisting the urge to do J6 stuff over working class icon Diego Luna being left out of the World Cup for guys who have had everything handed to them

And here's a description of what SCALE-UP is. This is how we teach physics at the @sfu.ca Surrey campus. @sfuscience.bsky.social

May 6th: Austin ISD will cut 215 educator salaries for next school year as it faces a $181 million deficit. May 21st: Council delays zoning case on Austin ISD parcel until September, preventing $26 million cash infusion for financially strapped district. Great job @mikesiegeltx.bsky.social

Not enough people are talking about the potential for a historic NBA double.

After teen girls were targeted by AI-generated CSAM, Radnor Township High School in Pennsylvania has become a case study in how schools and police around the country grapple with how to response to deepfake crimes involving children. @samleecole.bsky.social reports. www.404media.co/radnor-high-...

When you go to your kids awards ceremony at the school, and they ask if you wanna take them home, do everything you can and say yes, even if that means taking them to work. Don’t leave them at the school. iykyk

I’ve been using Ecosia as my default browser/search for a while now and It’s similar to google without the forced AI. Also they be planting trees and I think that’s so cute and nice 🌍🌱

Can’t wait for colleges to start using this exam for admissions then states like Texas will start accepting this exam for public high school accountability metrics and before you know it Ill be expected to includes lessons aligned to this exam All uses of word exam in this skeet shoulda been “exam”

First year in 10 I didn’t teach an oil spill project. No deepwater horizon no bp oil spill no dispersants nothing about corexit It feels dirty
