NEW REPORT ON ALPHA SCHOOL Last week, I reported on troubling activities at Alpha School's boot camp. This week, I report on the broader activities going on at Alpha School, and its culture. What I found is deeply disturbing. Children are at risk. I will now share some of what I uncovered.

SPECIAL REPORT Last month, Alpha School invited people to follow student social media accounts "if curious about life in our high schools." I accepted their offer. What I've found shocks me. Forget the AI and ask instead: Is Alpha Schools a cult? Follow along for a summary of my findings.

MLBPA should just print this tweet on a poster board, bring it to labor negotiations, and just stare at the owners silently until they sign off on whatever deal the players want. MLB owners have *no* case. None whatsoever.

Standing under the grey piers of the $6.4-billion Gordie Howe International Bridge, Dwight Duncan — Ontario’s former finance minister who chaired the crown corporation overseeing its construction — lays out the landscape below. “It looks like something from the future. I guess it is the future.”

If Edley's screws up SatCo, I will burn multiple Edley's to the ground. It doesn't need a makeover. It doesn't need to become an Edley's Tacos. Just do the Brown's preservation move on this place (great job, btw) and leave it — AND THE QUESO — just as they are now.

mitchell’s right. if you come from a faith tradition with a sacred text replete with warnings against wealth, you need a pretty damn robust argument to explain why, actually, the people protesting wealth are the real bad guys. this piece does not rise to the occasion. unserious.
