What’s most annoying about this is it assumes economic insecurity is a product of individual “skills gaps” as opposed to a structural condition of our political/economic systems.

So now Ss are trapped in a system obsessed with job prep at a time when every company is gutting their future jobs.

Just saw a post dunking on semicolon placement as an outdated form of knowledge, and it’s honestly dispiriting at times trying to communicate how language works to people who don’t think the world exists as anything more than keys on a keyboard.

There's a fundamental attribution error here: does AI actually "do" research? It's an automated pattern-recognition, algorithm-drivem machine learning tool. It can't think, and anything it produces resembling "research" is in spite of, rather than because of, the way it's constructed.

I say not wanted, but I mean not wanted by the people signing paychecks. Most teachers I talk to wish they had more freedom.

It seems there isn’t much of it wanted. Relative autonomy, maybe. It is… bad.

Landscapes of Learning is a breath of fresh air to this day - “What shall we teach them? How can we guide them? What hope can we offer them? How can we tell them what to do? … Mustering their own resources, each one must embark … upon the formation of a self.” - Wide-Awakeness and the Moral Life

We’re constantly asking Black athletes to step up for social justice and advance society and we have to start holding white athletes to the same standard.

Alysa Liu telling 60 Minutes “I love struggling, it makes me feel alive” is a legit revolutionary statement from a Bay Area native in a time when copious amounts of time and resources are being put toward convincing us to opt out of experiencing struggle, friction and self-actualization

Varieties of literary experience never end, and I appreciate every day I learn something, someone new. What a gift.

The reason these failures are so predictable, of course, is that real educators know how hard the work really is. Whenever you see some founder claiming to have solved the problem using technology, you can immediately know they fall somewhere between naive to outright frauds.

I would have hoped by now that some dude would have written an op Ed about how straight women’s reaction to Bad Bunny - a man at peace with himself, emoting publicly + queer culture - underscores that the Manosphere bros are performing heterosexuality for other men and have no idea what women like.

An important enabling structure that is helping slop makes its way into institutional life is several decades of built in bullshit bureaucratic bloat that is not meaningfully attached to advancing institutional goal but nonetheless has to be ground out week after week. It’s a natural home for slop.

This has brought up many questions for me, namely the role - and necessity - of interdisciplinary work at the HS level, both for students and teachers. Also, how are teachers trained and developed in “disciplinary practices”? Great article.

Democracy is when voters choose their leaders. Autocracy is when leaders choose their voters.

I truly do not understand why members of the press continue this charade of doing pressers with him. And how every member of the press doesn't walk out after that. Like - the government needs the news to govern. There's power - you can withhold attention

The best thing about this is that it starts bad and gets infinitely worse the further you get - just like GenAI! Brilliant. Had me rolling.

I’ve seen the Judge Biery order going around, and I am so happy that it is what it is, but I am also now very interested in the grammar of the Bible.

One of the best actors of her generation. Easily one of the best comedians of all time. As much Catherine O’Hara as we got, it was nowhere near enough.

Take it from Catherine. Good is coming. It has to.

At some point, the other MI senator said, “Well, we may need their cooperation at some point in the future.” Wolves and chicken coops and whatnot.

the primary blocker to UBI is the puritan belief that humanity is so sinful and depraved that it should not be permitted personhood unless it becomes 'civilised'

that's how liberal social policy ended up asserting that helping people would harm them but hurting people would help them
