nyt website currently resembles one of those mock covers people made before 2016 election: economy floundering, war in the middle east, scandal-plagued cabinet sec, brazen corruption....
This is so cool!
It is imperative that we maintain hope even when the
harshness of reality may suggest the opposite.

So each kid has their own first step, and then the deck is the other steps, and they have to collect their hand (and a winning hand is the steps in order)?
That’d be interesting to see, if it’s not too deep?
Does anyone have a cool activity for Trig Identities? I kind of want it to be a game but I’m not used to gamifying things.
This morning’s new snow is ridiculous, uncalled for, and if I may say so, personally offensive.
These people don't do shit but be racist and waste everyone's gotdamn time.
This is the way. When they come at us, we come back at them twofold. Raise that Pride flag every time they take it down. If they prevent that, surround the park with Pride flags. Ruin their petty little lives until they shit rainbows. Never stop. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/12/n...
Anyone who had genuine concerns about youth gender medicine would staunchly and wholeheartedly support social transition. Let kids explore their identities to see what works for them!
The fact that this movement opposes even pronouns and haircuts shows that it's just bigotry all the way down.
For the #iteachmath #mtbos crew: looking for 3-4 short readings about encouraging student talk in math class beyond jusr a turn-and-talk. Articles or specific excerpts from books are appreciated!
every ad for google gemini feels like a black mirror episode
The mainstream news media will never call Trump explicity racist. They'll always dodge the allegation. That's because the white people running the joints need to believe that there is a distinction between donig racist things and promoting racist polices, versus being *personally* racist.
I think about this all the time and people always jump on me when I bring up that the ops can see who you’re not getting along with when you fight on social media and actually that matters
You can test new tech ideas using the Seinfeld Test
Would the product eliminate the plot of an episode? (Google maps, cell phones, paypal, battery packs)
Good tech.
Would the product inspire new Seinfeld plots? (NFTs, AI chatbots, crypto currency, blindboxes, metaverse land sales)
Bad tech.
"The world isn’t ending. A world is ending. Our job is to midwife the next one."
I’m stuck trying to figure out a way to honor the strike without my students just thinking “free day!”
A little armored one / turtle rabbit in the wild
The word armadillo is borrowed from Spanish and simply means “little armored one.” But an even better word for an armadillo, in my opinion, is the Nahuatl ayotochtli. It means “turtle rabbit.”
One factor you didn't discuss in the longevity of this current moment is all the video evidence. During a school shooting we see pictures of victims but not the actual violence. Everything happening in Minneapolis is being played on repeat (Granted so was George Floyd and here we are)
because they don’t deserve our fear
These work-from-home days become very much "how can I be expected to do work during the fall of our republic?" vibes.
HOW IT WORKS IN MOVIES:
1. Government lies
2. Brave heroes release video showing the truth
3. Press says “the government is lying!”
HOW IT APPARENTLY WORKS IN REAL LIFE
1. Brave heroes release video showing the truth
2. Government lies
3. Press says “Oh no, what now? So confusing! So hard!”
Perhaps the most politically important thing about Zohran Mamdani is that it seems like he really, really likes New York and New Yorkers.
This whole thing is amazing but this part really sings.
Just say the government is lying. The goal of journalism should be to inform, not gaslight.
User @backintimeag: The text “Kirsten will be happy when ICE gets the fuck out of Minnesota” over a picture of 1850s immigrant and Minnesota-dwelling doll character Kirsten Larson in the snow.
In case anyone was wondering how it’s going over on American Girl doll Instagram
just gonna throw out a quick reminder that in America police kill a yearly average of 3 civilians per day, routinely in situations very similar to these ICE killings, and decades of explicit support for police impunity by US politicians is why ICE feels theyre able to get away with this right now
You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.
“”We had this discussion with him two weeks ago or so, you know, that go ahead and protest, but do not engage, do not do anything stupid, basically,” Michael Pretti said. “And he said he knows that. He knew that.””
This is so difficult to read. apnews.com/article/immi...
