One of these rich dudes invested in a food company with all proceeds going to kids in need. The other started Sundance Institute, boosting the lives of countless artists. Hey modern rich dudes, don't be a typical greedy AI crypto-prick, be like these two.

Hear me out, what if my kids' schools didn't have to send home fundraisers bribing me and my kids with prizes & trinkets every few weeks, like this affiliate advertising scheme sent home with my 7yo on lanyard, and instead actually funded thriving public schools with tax dollars? Just stop it.

There is so much more in the relationship between teaching & learning, but rather than understand & invest in those important aspects, our policy bias is to buy "high quality" scripts & programs to patch the structural deficits caused by under-resourced schools & overworked & undertrained staff.

Ahh, week two of the college football season. That magical window between the marquee season-opening nonconference matchups and the start of the conference slate, when all the top teams play home games against the boys from Southwest Roast Beef State.

This is great news Sesame Street is the last remnant of the idea that television could educate and uplift kids and instruct them on how to be decent citizens and make them feel understood rather than persecuted It needs to be where everyone can see it

Review: Sungazer was top 3 most fun I’ve ever had at a live show, and totally worth the wait. Snarky Puppy played some deeper cuts and some old classics, and Sleeper was akin to a spiritual experience. And we bumped into one of my former students between sets!

He will never hit a sweeter goal in the rest of his career. Shades of Rooney to RVP against Villa. Bravo Sounders and bravo de la Vega.

England led for all of about five minutes in the entire knockout stages of the Euros, but they go home back to back champions. Spain were the best team in the tournament, but England did it when it mattered. Congrats to the Lionesses - it’s coming home again!

Tom Lehrer was cool as fuck, and his decision to release his work into the public domain was a classy move. But this was *his* choice, presumably because he had enough income. It’s not something artists should have forced upon them by unscrupulous tech companies and dim, credulous governments.
