I have definitely inherited my mom’s utter disdain for teacher movies. The interesting question would be- what movie’s gotten teaching right? Maybe someone on #edusky has a rec.

Oooh I'm curious. The trailer has me very unsure- feeling like it could go wildly either way for me. Should I make sure to bring my weirdest friends to see it with me?

Continually disappointed with US lack of absolutely righteous pissed-off-ness. The realities of US schooling deserve riots at the very least.
Student grievances include overcrowded classes of up to 40 children in crumbling buildings, poor teacher pay, staff absences and an unequal system in which social background determined success. Other factors are an opaque and difficult online system for university applications as well as the sweltering temperatures in classrooms during heatwaves.

Currently: the chow mein from my local Nepalese place where I bartended for a bit. It’s not too heavy or greasy and the veggies always have just the right amount of snap left in them.

Exactly. This is such a lie. Email had a purpose. The internet had a purpose. Search had a purpose. Everybody loved Silicon Valley in the 90s because they made shit that did what it promised. Now 3 guys who never made SHIT have ALL the money in SV. They're scam artists. Not engineers.

In other words, voting only matters if it's the final stage of a sustained campaign to build and mobilize popular power. Without that, voting will get you precious little.

The sounds of broken bodies striking the earth intensify. Brief screams of agony fill the night, blending together in an unrelenting chorus of the macabre. Windshields shatter. Roofs collapse. Streets run crimson as rivers of blood rush into overflowing sewers. It’s raining men.

For all of the Mamdani team's brilliance with social media, this is the most basic thing in the political playbook: Do good things for your constituents, then tell them about it. It shouldn't be as startling as it is! It's the job!

One of the most apparent truths about universities in this era is that student journalists have tended to exhibit the greatest courage and tenacity when it comes to applying their institutional mottos and academic lessons to the world.

Almost 1 in 10 jobs in the Bay Area is in the manufacturing sector. But are these good jobs? For most blue-collar workers the answer is no: their median wage is only $24.50, and less than a third of production workers in the Bay Area are paid a living wage. laborcenter.berkeley.edu/making-it-in...

Jesus Christ Cornell
What use was it to bring the writer and activist Chanel Miller to campus in the spring just for fraternity brothers to scroll, bored, on their phones as she movingly shared her experience as Emily Doe, the victim of Brock Turner? As I wrote at the time, I was floored and dismayed as I sat in the audience with one of my brilliant undergraduates; we heard Miller’s shattering account of being sexually assaulted by Turner behind a dumpster at Stanford University after a fraternity party. Her talk was riveting, and there was so much to learn from it. And yet many of the male students who hailed predominantly from fraternities — 15 percent of each chapter was required to be in attendance — were so tuned out that Miller commented ruefully: “You know, this has been my hardest gig, because they didn’t turn down the house lights. I’m not sure how you professors do it, because it’s so hard looking out at this sea of mildly disgruntled faces. I mean, I’m sure you’re all very moved, but …,” Miller smiled. The implication being, it didn’t seem like it, from her angle.
