I spent two years chasing clouds all over the Transverse Range, which is probably the least coherent-to-others project I'd ever done. Had a blast. Learned a ton. Will never be sorry

All respect to Ann, and the untold story of many G&T programs is how they approached “giftedness” as a disability. Counterintuitive, but the one good program I was in (moved a lot so could compare) saved lives.

Just a reminder that there is no good data to support these uses in K12, we are just testing it live all on kids who won’t ever be these ages again and can’t get them back if we fuck it up.
"AI can draft an essay for you, especially if you give it a high quality prompt."
Really? This is what MIT thinks high schoolers should learn?

I am old enough to remember when politicians felt the need to hide behind euphemism and obfuscation. As frustrating as these obfuscations were I hope it is becoming clear to all that they were an advance, historically speaking
RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

New: Mayor Zohran Mamdani and a group of his friends have been secretly using the NYPD Police Academy’s gymnasium in Queens to play pickup basketball — scrambling some operations at the facility.

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who spared a thought for my country today, who amplified information about the coup d’état attempt, and worried about Brazil’s democratic future—the world’s democratic future. We won! Women won! The Amazon won! Young people won! Democracy won! Hope won!

Brazil’s results tonight are a big endorsement for the idea that every country should have a second “are you you sure about that” election a couple weeks after the first one for the important stuff

In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.

None of us should forget this. Meta should be subjected to corporate death penalty and permanently broken up into small pieces.
I will not forget that Zuckerberg and Facebook shut down the accounts of the most popular presidential candidate in one of the largest democracies in the world, and he was elected anyway

Beyond what we have all been screaming about rape culture and the domination of women and children being a feature and not a bug, I also think everyone should be paying very close attention to how the lives and biographies of people who have faced extreme adversity are increasingly picked apart.

Police officers in schools are not there to protect the students, teachers, or the school employees. They are there to begin putting children into the prison pipeline, so they become prison labor. That is it.
