Yes, elections matter and we are now in primaries which are the time to choose candidates we don't need to complain about after the election.
And voting is one of the many things we must do, along with protests, along with keeping each other alive.

I was also very impressed by Lessons in Magic & Disaster, by Charlie Jane Anders ( @charliejane.bsky.social ) .
It taught me things about myself I once knew but had forgotten, and shed new light on those things.

People magazine reported from Turning Point USA AmericaFest: host Jesse Watters said the ballroom President Trump wants to build next to the White House is “four times the size of the White House.” Trump told him: “Jesse, it’s a monument. I’m building a monument to myself because no one else will.”

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

Russell Vought announced that the National Science Foundation will “break up” the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder, Colorado calling it a source of “climate alarmism” and saying its work should be dismantled and redistributed.

Anne Frank & Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. were born in 1929. Viola Fletcher, who just died this week, was already 15 when they were born.
But while we were just with Ms. Fletcher days ago, Anne Frank & Dr King are portrayed as ancient history.
Remember, "The past is never dead. It's not even past.”

Re: current math curricula:
There's value in learning multiple strategies, but at some point the kids should be allowed to just choose the strategies that work best for them and DO THE MATH instead of being tested in ways that make them demonstrate they KNOW ALL THE WAYS they COULD do it.
