In 2009, Sweden Replaced Textbooks with Screens: 15 Years Later, It’s Spending $120M to Bring Them Back Sweden embraced screens in classrooms and pushed books aside. Years later, the country is making a costly reversal that says everything about what went wrong.

Sweden, too.

15 years after Sweden began replacing textbooks with computers, they allocated over €100M to bring printed books back into schools for core subjects.

Teachers, parents, and education officials cited concerns about reading comprehension, reduced attention span, weaker writing ability.

This discourse rolls around every six months and I'm always happy to chime in: ELEMENTARY is a great TV show qua TV show and best modern interpretation of Holmes, including that one you're thinking of, which was more of one dude's intermittent hobby, which also somehow turned into CRIME DR. WHO.

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

I have never witnessed him give any less than his all in any role in which I’ve ever seen him, he so often looks like he’s having a fantastic time, and that alone makes him a delight no matter the quality of the thing he’s in

A short brimmed flat top cap a short sleeved thin hoodie shirt, a vest, cargo pants, and a leg strap bag.

I got these for a Batuu Bound and I tried them on today and even with just wearing my regular black Doc Martins with it, I feel like I could easily be wandering around a Rebel/Resistance hangar or on Ferrix. 😁

Just need greebles.

Going back for May the 4th in just over two weeks!

Hey California folks, those debit cards we got 4 years ago for “inflation relief” are going to expire in 14 days and millions of you (and me) haven’t spent them!

You can’t cash them out at an ATM. I tried.

Please share this! If you don’t spend it, the money goes back to the state government.

Grayscale image of the capsule under the parachutes, which look silvery. The capsule is glowing brilliantly along the bottom where the heat shield took the brunt of the atmospheric beating.

Love this shot. I think this is a thermal infrared camera, showing how the bottom of the capsule is still glowing due to its warmth after hypersonically ramming the atmosphere — compressing a gas heats it up a LOT when you're moving at superorbital speeds.

Artemis 2 commander Reid Wiseman broke NASA protocol to save the mission's moon mascot: 'It's hard not to love this little guy. I can't let Rise out of my sight' "I stuffed that little guy in a dry bag we had in our survival kit, and hooked the bag onto my pressure suit."

I genuinely love this. Astronauts, like kids, know that you do not leave your stuffies behind.

Girl, the solution to "the system is exploiting and replacing us" isn't "get a new system that can exploit and replace us". What are we even doing here? You can't fight for women if you're fighting for the technology that will run them out of the workplace.

Weird that seven sycophants appointed by Trump decided to approve this abomination, this… this two-headed calf of monumental architecture born of the unholy union of artificial intelligence and natural stupidity…

Millions of Californians still have money on inflation relief debit cards -- they expire April 30 You'd think it would be easy to give away billions of dollars for disaster relief, but hundreds of thousands of Californians still haven't taken their share.
