As the current national administration seeks to prop up coal -- a highly polluting and uneconomic technology of the past -- the global economy and investors are sending a very different signal about where the future of energy is headed:

This is smart:

Resistance that is easy to organize and easy-to-remember is what’s going to scale up and actually last.

Well done. 🙌

Whistling when ICE is about to kidnap someone for no reason is incredibly effective. They know what they are doing is wrong and will scatter in the wind when too many witnesses gather.

I really feel like we need to retire the word “Zionist” because I don’t think common usage is accurate, no matter your political perspective.

This is such a clever idea on taking kids to museums/galleries

every single tech idea is like “soon our robots will be capable of playing catch with your kid, freeing you up to spend more time working on your employers’ spreadsheets”

Dems floated a narrow bill to fund the military, which can’t move because the House isn’t in session. Meanwhile, DoD is now going to spend funds not appropriated by Congress to ensure military paychecks continue.

POTUS now both commands and provisions the military. Unconstitutional and SO dangerous

Breakfast: one specific granola

Lunch: one specific quiche (salmon, feta, tomato and bell pepper)

Dinner: one specific homemade pizza (tuna, bell pepper, olives)

I can get a bit more adventurous, but these are “safe base”. These are my go-to’s that I know will work when I’m in a hard place.

The problem is that we show up one Saturday out of 52 a year (or maybe twice that).

Any successful protests or boycotts are *ongoing* until the thing stops.

We just don’t have the stamina. Need to build that muscle after being out of practice for so long.

Hitting
isn’t the only
way we abuse;
it doesn’t take
physical contact
to cause psychological,
emotional harm;

thrown
words
become knives
meant to
pierce
the sense of self,
meant to disempower,
meant to control,
belittle;

words
hit
like
falling
on concrete

Working memory is a major barrier for people with ADHD. It's more prone to being erased, overwritten, or overwhelmed.

Expecting ourselves to follow changing or complex instructions without support, especially in a chaotic or distracting environment, is often a recipe for missing something

Normalise admitting you don't know enough about a subject to form an opinion of it.

It's Thanksgiving weekend here in 🇨🇦! Some will be feeling loss throughout the days ahead! Here are some helpful thoughts you may wish to review if you are wanting to provide support to someone over holidays and special occasions! #HealingPurrsPawty 💜🌻🕊💜🌻

"What FIFA has done is created another layer of gambling on top of gambling. Who would have thought that FIFA would become a creator of exotic financial instruments?" This is not unrelated to the fate of democracy.

You’ve spent decades adapting.

Performing.

Surviving.

Now you finally know why - do you do with that truth?

Sometimes I pause and wonder what would happen if all the time and energy and especially $$$ that has gone into AI in education the past 2 years would have been redirected towards tangible things we already know works to make classrooms and schools better.

Oh well.

I am writing this because it has swiftly become crystal clear to me that many people have no idea what is happening or how this works. Here is a thread for non-academics to put into context what just happened to Dr. Mark Bray, a fellow historian.

I just tried to do a lit review yesterday on AI in the classroom and was absolutely flummoxed by the slop out there pushing AI as if it was written by… AI. 🤔🤷‍♀️

I guess I was naive, but the number of people willing to cede their work and their scholarship to a machine will never cease to shock me.

A striking thing about articles I’ve read claiming to “study the effects” of generative AI on student writing skills and consumption of information is that (1) they nearly always find the effects are negative and (2) most “conclusions” are still written assuming that we must use AI, for some reason.

What makes a rescuer?

Some insights from the Holocaust.

Good night, friends.
Tonight was deeply painful.

We at CDC do this work because we care.
It’s long hours, often feeling overworked and not enough pay, but we do it because we want to make the world a better place.
