Getting a PhD and then working outside academia is dope. My advisees who’ve done that are more or less uniformly happy and feel that they’re using the skills they trained on. (I talked to one today who just landed a great gig). Just wanted to convey that to anyone it might benefit.

OK this is the worst case of kernel smoothing I have ever seen

It remains notable that The Onion — The Onion! — has had a stronger moral compass and more clear set of values in this moment than nearly every powerful and well-funded institution in American life.

$1,700 is roughly the FIT burden of a household of three filing joint making 65k, to put that into tax perspective.

It’s finally happened. After 18 months. Finally, a media merger you can root for.

COMMENTARY: AI in schools could be a disaster, but it doesn’t have to be We need leaders at all levels — but especially at the state level where policy is usually made — to offer districts clearer support and guidelines about appropriate and inappropriate uses.

My newest, at @edsource.org--I really worry about the impact of AI on k-12 schools. Here, I talk about my concern, drawing on our recent survey data, and offer a couple ideas for what leaders can do to support educators and reduce the risks of disaster edsource.org/2026/ai-revo...

It's notable that Sen. Ossoff is pressing this attack in a tight re-election fight in a purple state. The rest of the party needs to pay attention.

Why Yale’s term paper on what’s wrong with college gets a ‘D-’ | Will Bunch An Ivy League university's report on the loss of faith in higher ed ignores what really killed the American Dream of college.

That Yale report on what's wrong with U.S. college saw some trees (high cost, unfair admission, etc.) but missed the forest: the 60-year right-wing crusade to undermine higher ed, from slashing budgets to stifling speech
