I've been an @theatlantic.com subscriber since I was given a gift subscription from my dad more than 20 years ago, and this dropped the same day that right-wing media is debating whether paid sex with a 15 year old is really so bad. The last straw for me. Will not be renewing my subscription.

Kind of wild that while food assistance was withheld from millions of families, one Trump-supporting billionaire (Ellison) saw his net worth grow more this year than the entire SNAP budget. And the YTD gains of the other four richest men would’ve fully covered salaries for all 2M federal employees.

Intellectually, I know I shouldn't lose any sleep when I have trouble convincing some high schoolers that being kind to yourself and to one another is an important part of math. And yet...

I'm so impressed by the long game here. A great example of a lesson turning into an authentic project, and a blog post three years in the making... ♾️

Stuck in Palm Springs because our flight is cancelled. No idea how or when we are going to get home. 😬 Thanks a bunch Republicans.

Congratulations on your retirement, Speaker Pelosi. 🎉

Wow. Prop 50 called at poll closing.

This is the current banner on the official USDA government website. Fascism 101 stuff.

Boo.

Kershaw coming in to potentially end his career by getting the last out of the World Series would break my Giants fan brain.

The good news for the Blue Jays is that Yamamoto probably only has 7 more innings in him.

Not sure I've ever been so stressed about a baseball game when I haven't been a fan of either team. Although to be fair, I am a fan of whoever is playing the Dodgers.

Thoughts and prayers to anyone teaching today.

Please be extra careful driving today! ...and tomorrow. ...and the next day. ...and the next day.

If we are being pedantic, which we tend to be in most Geometry classes, should we say one pile of 7 apples is congruent to a second pile of 7 apples, and not that the two piles are equal? ♾️ #iteachmath

This baseball game is the reason I moved to the west coast 13 years ago.

Hey, let's walk two MVPs so that we can face...checks notes...another MVP. 🤷‍♂️

We had to cancel our large fall fundraiser for my kids' school this past weekend because of people's fears about ICE raids (classic 'murica stuff). And we still need to raise close to $50K to pay for an art and dance teacher (classic 'murica stuff, part two).

Hey MLB, the best way to actually stand up against cancer right now is to be part of pushing back on this administration's dismantling of science.

@nytdiff.bsky.social is a must follow for anyone interested in or teaching media literacy, and this is a particular doozy.

Incredibly sad to have learned of the sudden and unexpected passing of Daniel Naroditsky, a Bay Area native, an incredible chess player, an amazing teacher, and most importantly a kind soul.

Thinking about this from an education lens. Not that *any* substantive media literacy is the norm, but even when this is taught we have to not just reflect on the content of the news, but we also need to critique what isn't said, who isn't interviewed, and what isn't considered to be a big story.

An AI video of the president wearing a crown, "piloting"a military jet, and pooping on people is a new level of bananas in a presidency defined by absurdity.

Just saw the new? TikTok ad profiling a math teacher who posts math lessons, and FOIL played a prominent role in the ad. Whyyyyyyyyyy? And how did they not find @howiehua.bsky.social? ♾️

Can't say this was on my bingo card a year ago. "The Numbers Six and Seven Are Making Life Hell for Math Teachers" www.wsj.com/lifestyle/si...

Thoughts from a cargo bike: in cars we differentiate between the person operating the car and the passengers (driving a car, riding in a car). There is no such equivalent for bicycles. Why do we say riding a bicycle instead of driving a bicycle? Are there languages where this is different?

I'm not sure I'm connected to any reading early ed people on here (sometimes I'm not sure I'm connected to anyone), but does anyone know anything about the efficacy of word searches?

Anyone arguing that baseball is boring.

Lots of #mtbos people looking for jobs makes me feel both a part of something and nervous all at the same time.

What are some different ways to see that there are the same number of popped and raised bubbles in the below Pop It toy? ♾️

@sfmta.com Am I overreacting by being upset by this? A parking enforcement employee almost ran me over at a crosswalk, after dropping my kids off at their school bus stop. When I clapped my hands to get his attention he gave me the middle finger as he continued to drive through the intersection.

I actually feel a little bad for the engineers that are going to get fired over this spectacular fail, but what a perfect example of the current state of AI (it doesn't work particularly well, and even if this did work it's more of a "that's kind of cool" versus an actually useful tool.

This is a car-brain headline. Beloved highway?

Wondering if this is the first time a former MVP pitcher has started a game by facing three straight former or current MVPs. Go @sfgiants.com #BeatLA

More than 20 years ago I wrote one of my first math lessons based on the art of @sollewitt.bsky.social (which included a trip to @momanyc.bsky.social to see some of his work), so it was a wonderful surprise to see @3blue1brown.com most recent video. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BrF...

My governor, who wants nothing more than to become President, could use some moral clarity. Continue his work??? His work spouting hate that gay people should be stoned to death?

Charlie Kirk is a terrible person and Charlie Kirk doesn't deserve to be murdered is actually a consistent and reasonable morality. Nothing good will come of this.

This is incredible.

The Michigan football team and the Oklahoma Special Teams are pretty evenly matched with the rest of the Oklahoma football team.

Pseudo-experiment of the week: Without parental restrictions, my two kids and I will eat the following amount of fruit in one week: A flat of strawberries 5 pounds of peaches 5 pounds of plums 5 pounds of nectarines 5 pounds of apples 1 quart of raspberries (I'm not a millionaire after all)

Did the Double-Cross Trail today which goes from the SW to NE corner of SF. It was really fun (although I'm quite sore now)! Even after living in SF for a long time, I discovered a number of new spots on this trail.

FYI, if you almost run over a 6yo crossing the street, here are 2 things you can do. 1. Cut it out with the "rolling stops" 2. Give a friendly wave and a sorry And if your response to the 6yo's dad shaking his head at you is giving them both a middle finger? That's first-rate sociopathic behavior.

At the Boston Museum of Science for the first time in 20 years. Since I can't really turn the teacher brain off... Q for kids: why do you think they use two different scales for this globe (one for the size of Earth and one for elevation)?

This is amazing, and *shockingly* close to our planned road trip later this summer.

In my adult lifetime the same city elected Rudy Giuliani and Zohran Mamdani*. My takeaway? Don't give up on places! *I know, just a primary win so far

...drunk, late for work, watching TikTok videos, and had their grandmother murdered by a bicyclist.

The intersectionality of people who can and those who cannot keep a beat is important in any successful political movement.
