Whew, January was a lot. Some suggestions on how to brighten the days ahead: Make a playlist for your lover. Bake cookies with kids, or alone-just don’t eat them all! Watch & share Monty Python clips. Watch SNL’s 50th Anniversary Music Tribute. You are welcome.

Good and loving and smart and honest people exist. There are a lot of them. More than the bad and cruel and dumb and mendacious. They're not perfect, they just care for others, even strangers. Not always actively, but as a default. Find them, celebrate them, commune with them. You are not alone

The AI explosion has many complications, opportunities & threats. Data centers, chips, AGI, regulation, international competition- the parts are moving so fast it’s hard to keep up. This article is important if you are trying to put the pieces together & the Musk/Altman battle is 🍿worthy.

Trump’s MTP interview demonstrated his lack character & respect for the Constitution. Biden’s pardon of his son & the celebratory response on social media to an assassination of a CEO are demonstrations of a lack of respect for human life & the law. We cannot defeat the darkness by embracing it.

This is what unanimous anti-authoritarian action from a legislative body looks like. No sycophants voting with Yoon Suk Yeol. Just pure pro-democracy defiance.

Today’s news out of South Korea made me realize how little I know about world affairs beyond the US, Europe & China. Currently I am reading about the rise of fascism in Europe in the 20th century so this stunning piece resonates.

This is an outstanding post about the 20th century polymath Gordon Parks. My grandmother introduced me to his photographic essays in Life & his book, The Learning Trees. His eclectic body of work is an outstanding window into the 20th century.

The coming 4 years are the next phase of Trump’s Big Lie. All the tools of the U.S. government applied to rewriting his history of crime and deadly ineptitude. All this happened. He cannot change it.

There are 6 articles in the Code of Conduct & there is the UCMJ. If you don’t understand what these say about ethical behavior you are not suited to service. You can hide your identity on social media because it enables your inane bluster but you are failing to conceal your lack of character

No, you can’t be an immoral human and lead the armed forces. The troops must respect & trust their leaders. When they don’t the system breaks down. This isn’t about 1 indiscretion. It is about patterns of abuse. Disgusting & dangerous.

14/🧵 of names of law enforcement officers who responded to violence at the US Capitol on 1/6/21. I taught my kids to respect our institutions and hold them accountable. We must hold Congress accountable to tell the truth about 1/6/21

I know why Bill is discouraged. The Consolidated Appropriations Act,H.R. 2471, a funding bill, requires the display of a plaque with the names of all law enforcement officers who responded to the violence of January 6. It was to be installed by March 23. It has not been. Call Congress 202-224-3121.

I am just learning about Bluesky’s commitment to openness, decentralization and user empowerment. I am not an engineer but Bluesky’s approach reminds me of the Eric Raymond’s The Cathedral & The Bazar, an essay from the 90’s when we were so hopeful about the positive potential of technology.

I have been an educator in public, independent, parochial & charter schools. My children attended all of the above. I was a Stanford based researcher & trainer of teachers. Charter school law varies state to state. Look at the charter ? at the state & local level instead of making broad statements.

Carolyn Wilson @carolynsf.bsky.social · 23/11/2024

There are a number of state initiatives doing this 👆. They need time to learn & iterate. Funders must have timely transparency to hold them accountable. Federal 💰& policy should incentivize locally driven, research backed innovation.

Carolyn Wilson @carolynsf.bsky.social · 23/11/2024

The entire education ecosystem is broken. It is designed to protect the status quo & has not improved achievement gaps. Focus on kids, opportunities & outcomes not bureaucracies. Protect funding, improve parent access to funding, ensure transparency, empower educators & families on the front lines.

Our public education is bloated with top-down mandates, cynical union power plays, clueless state governance, district level chaos & little respect for teachers on the front lines.
