I will no longer have to explain to people where Roanoke is on a map. It's what district 6 is reaching towards!

Nobody tell @edzitron.com . I don't want his brain exploding.

Another inflection point for young adults was the intern-ization of early-career employment that happened during the great recession and has only started to ebb thanks to advocacy by organizations like NACE.

We need a more scathing term than bro-open science.

Shitting on an entire discipline's research output (particularly from outside the discipline) degrades the open science discourse.

Education research is fine, actually.

There is absolute garbage research coming out of all disciplines all the time in all research paradigms.

And gems, too.

Futurists were better artists

078. Cause inflation and a global financial crisis.

Lol

That is a shit ass numbered list, Palantir

Now this is a fuckin numbered list.

POwr broccoli kopimi.

This is a huge deal in the world of higher ed data. RTI lost the IPEDS contract (effective in just two weeks!) to a much smaller firm. It's worth watching, to say the least.

Oh hell yeah

kinda crypto, blockchain, and nfts.

Here’s a model of consumer sentiment that doesn’t suck On the question of why Americans are so glum, the answer is still (mostly) the prices, stupid. But you have to know where to look

If you missed it: www.gelliottmorris.com/p/2026-04-17...

Combine this with @gelliottmorris.com analysis, the upshot is...

Prices are too damn high and government cash assistance appeared and disappeared making prices even harder to reach.

Also that's 1.7 per kid per household... so uh, we really did miss our two CTCs

Rob the robot waking up like that 50 cent meme

Seriously, whoever is in charge of our library ebook collection gets the raddest stuff.

Just an absolute bucket list of resources to read in my own tiny discipline.

Horrific. Slavery.

A student told me I successfully scaffolded a class so they feel confident going into comps...which is a particular kind of joy

Explaining my scholarship to kids sounds a lot like this.

"You shouldn't starve your workforce."
"If you're going to make everyone take a test to get a job, it should be a good test."

Hey it's that bad religion song

#OER maybe was/is this but at least we're creating helpful public resources.

Instead of prompting an AI to create a character in whatever edtech platform my kids school bought.

Next big thing syndrome.

The story of ed tech is a repeated loop of massive hype and massive disappointment

See MOOCs, and now AI

Evidence can interrupt this unproductive cycle

The Stanford SCALE Initiative, led by rock star Prof Susanna Loeb, brings evidence to the conversation scale.stanford.edu/sites/defaul...

Or talking about the cost of an online social work degree without mentioning the role of OPMs...

Ah yes, students need more self care so they are more professional.

None of that is contingent on context tho!

Just COVID and screen time ruining soft skills.

Was there a call for retrograde horseshit this edition?

Got dammit. The second thing in the new advances edition is full of positionality shittiness towards students too.

Anti Gen z bullshit.

There needs to be some kind of rule that if you are citing the free press or John McWhorter in your social work journal article for support of your point, you get rejected. That's not science. That person is a mark.

I felt bad for making my parents pay for an out-of-state state college that was reputationally better than the in-state schools I got into. Used an inflation calculator. 1 year of our kid's daycare in 2026 dollars costs the same as my college tuition from 2006. We're just expected to make that work
