My son is 26. When he was in high school, our phone number was the only one we gave his school-- never his cell. We were still getting phone calls from recruiters asking for him last year.

We visited the Parthenon this weekend... in Nashville. From the days when investing in public infrastructure and common goods was patriotic.

Domestic use of the military to enforce law/policy. Insisting that he can reinterpret constitutional amendments to mean what he wants (i.e., end birthright citizenship). Is he going to come for your guns next, MAGA?

...which is the Trump strategy. If congress won't eliminate regulation and oversight, he will do it by cutting personnel and sowing chaos.

My succulent is sending up its annual flower stalk. This thing has endured neglect, drought, small children's misguided attentions...but it keeps battling back.

Well, if they can wait it out for a couple weeks, there might not be an FDA left to do anything about it.

Misinformation isn't random - it's strategic. 🧵 In the first cross-national comparative study, we examine 32M tweets from politicians. We find that misinformation is not a general condition: it is driven by populist radical right parties. with @julianachueri.bsky.social doi.org/10.1177/1940...

so much of teaching is teaching students that they are worth taking seriously, that they should take themselves seriously, that the world is in their hands, that they are up to its challenges (this will be my only contribution to the current discourse about ai in the classroom)

transience ----------- patreon.com/nhoj
4 panel comic

P1: a lone silhouetted figure stands on a grassy hilltop, staring at a towering column of cloud, dominating a pink-purple sky

P2: closeup of the figure, whonis a young guy wearing a jacket and beanie. He holds up a phone in his right hand, and ponders: "if I don't take a photo of this moment, and share it online, will it even matter?"

P3: A beat, as the POV draws back to show the guy in full, as he looks up in silence. The hand holding the phone has dropped to his side.

P4: the POV has moved high in the air, and the guy has been reduced to a tiny faceless figure. He finishes his thought: "on the other hand, maybe the transience of this moment is what gives it meaning..."

A gust of wind whips past, with a "FWOOOOOO"
