They need to be used purposefully, and in support of and in conjunction with appropriate curricula (which should also include creative and undirected exploration).
I'm not defending the budget or the outcome; but as an engineer I find the underlying idea to have some merit, if done well.
2/end.
What kind of Lego? Was it in conjunction with any other program or activity?
Not all learning is books; a modality shift to spatial reasoning and physical manipulation is a huge boost to learning and comprehension, and Lego are some of the best STEM and prototyping tools.

Ok, yes, and I appreciate all the puns hereβbut I also want to acknowledge as a musician, that: YES, the cat does appear to be chewing on a C key.
Everything from this administration is about profit taking at the expense of others.

Maximum income, minimal accountability. Break things faster than they can be resisted or fixed.
Or come close to pronouncing. Or choose out of a line-up.

Excuse the bad language, but this is where we are at right now:

"Artists peak at 30", "30 under 30", "by 30 you should" ridiculous. Arts industries capital craves young people to exploit and burn out. It doesn't want older artists thriving and guiding the young. It also doesn't want artists to exist. Stop letting cannibals tell you you only matter on a plate.
Saw a few episodes of Apple's Monarch series during a bout of insomnia.
Everybody's stupid and they all deserve to die.
Not a single realistic survival instinct (or ability) in the bunch, and the world would have killed them several times over without the help of any monsters or infighting.
Similar to some of the lava-capped canyons in southern Utah.
Molten material flowed to its lowest point, filling holes and canyons. Eventually everything else eroded, all the softer material carried away.
The once-lowest lava formations were more erosion resistant, and so remained to become tops.
Talarico's not a bad guy, but I would have much preferred Crockett.
Former Middle East adviser at the US Department of Defense, Jasmine El-Gamal, has it exactly right.
WHERE ARE THE MUFFINS
Just trying to picture what that would take to put together is giving me a headache; I can only imagine what it does to fingers. What an incredible piece of art.
The craftsmanship of that stone is exceptional.
A+++ alt text. Would read again.
Sheesh, what took you so long? I'VE been hit, and I ain't never writ no books!
Dude looks like a peeled orange. Cool!
Yup; this is what happens when what really matters to someone is chasing the numbers. They'll be dishonest in whatever the endeavor is, whether it's visual art, or written word, etc.
See it in the workplace, too.
If memory serves, his son was played by: his son.

Bright kid, too; the only one in the scene with the awareness and curiosity of the photographer too openly risk interaction with an intent gaze.
I don't think I've ever met a humble bigot.
Seems like a connection, there.

I appreciate the distinction "non-" vs "pre-", and will update my usage accordingly.
Incidentally, recently started a re-read of "The Memory Code", which absolutely sings with affection for the brilliance of ancestral peoples.
Thank you so much for your work!
Noting specifically that the markings are potentially part of such a mnemonic system is different than asserting that such systems exist or are used.
It provides additional context for how the decorations on this object may have been employed beyond the prospective proto-writing from the article.
I already had an "often" qualifier in my statement, so I'm not sure what this adds or clarifies beyond the original (or if it's just a misplaced attempt at random pedantic sniping).

In pre-literate cultures, the markings are often part of mnemonic systems used to help the bearer recall or recite story and verse in specific order and detail. Reconstructing their meaning without the aid of the original owner is impossible.

It is not an attempt to address voter fraud.
That's the thinly veiled justification under which it's bandied, yes: but the sole point of this bill is to remove a larger proportion of "their" voters than "ours", as a way of tipping the scale, discouraging dissenting voices while amplifying others.
