I don't know, guys. The president started a war with no plan and crashed the world economy, is building immense monuments to himself, is making billions off the presidency, and is now attacking the Pope while presenting himself as Jesus. Maybe the political class should abandon the inside voice.
23 people could stop this genocidal war criminal. That’s it. 23.
20 Republican senators and 3 republican reps in the house and he’d be out of politics forever. But they won’t.
They’re addicted to power. A drug so strong they’d rather see a civilization die than give it up.
I think one of the things about bluesky is that for a lot of its users, it represents a kind of retirement from social media. Like I’m tired and I want to get out of the game
If the College Board is going to mandate that the SAT and PSAT are all on laptops, they should also offer stipends for schools to buy enough laptops. And I absolutely refuse to believe they don’t have the money.
It took 98 years for a woman to finally win Best Cinematography.
And there are still ZERO Black Best Director winners, of ANY gender.
Like, it’s 2026…and after 98 years (and counting!), y’all STILL having “first wins” for underrepresented groups?!
Or worse…NO wins at all?!
People on awards shows don't "make it political." The world is political. Our lives are political. Our choices are political. The only decision is whether to acknowledge it.
nyt website currently resembles one of those mock covers people made before 2016 election: economy floundering, war in the middle east, scandal-plagued cabinet sec, brazen corruption....
This is so cool!
It is imperative that we maintain hope even when the
harshness of reality may suggest the opposite.

So each kid has their own first step, and then the deck is the other steps, and they have to collect their hand (and a winning hand is the steps in order)?
That’d be interesting to see, if it’s not too deep?
Does anyone have a cool activity for Trig Identities? I kind of want it to be a game but I’m not used to gamifying things.
This morning’s new snow is ridiculous, uncalled for, and if I may say so, personally offensive.
These people don't do shit but be racist and waste everyone's gotdamn time.
This is the way. When they come at us, we come back at them twofold. Raise that Pride flag every time they take it down. If they prevent that, surround the park with Pride flags. Ruin their petty little lives until they shit rainbows. Never stop. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/12/n...
Anyone who had genuine concerns about youth gender medicine would staunchly and wholeheartedly support social transition. Let kids explore their identities to see what works for them!
The fact that this movement opposes even pronouns and haircuts shows that it's just bigotry all the way down.
For the #iteachmath #mtbos crew: looking for 3-4 short readings about encouraging student talk in math class beyond jusr a turn-and-talk. Articles or specific excerpts from books are appreciated!
every ad for google gemini feels like a black mirror episode
The mainstream news media will never call Trump explicity racist. They'll always dodge the allegation. That's because the white people running the joints need to believe that there is a distinction between donig racist things and promoting racist polices, versus being *personally* racist.
I think about this all the time and people always jump on me when I bring up that the ops can see who you’re not getting along with when you fight on social media and actually that matters
You can test new tech ideas using the Seinfeld Test
Would the product eliminate the plot of an episode? (Google maps, cell phones, paypal, battery packs)
Good tech.
Would the product inspire new Seinfeld plots? (NFTs, AI chatbots, crypto currency, blindboxes, metaverse land sales)
Bad tech.
"The world isn’t ending. A world is ending. Our job is to midwife the next one."
I’m stuck trying to figure out a way to honor the strike without my students just thinking “free day!”
A little armored one / turtle rabbit in the wild
The word armadillo is borrowed from Spanish and simply means “little armored one.” But an even better word for an armadillo, in my opinion, is the Nahuatl ayotochtli. It means “turtle rabbit.”
One factor you didn't discuss in the longevity of this current moment is all the video evidence. During a school shooting we see pictures of victims but not the actual violence. Everything happening in Minneapolis is being played on repeat (Granted so was George Floyd and here we are)
because they don’t deserve our fear
These work-from-home days become very much "how can I be expected to do work during the fall of our republic?" vibes.
HOW IT WORKS IN MOVIES:
1. Government lies
2. Brave heroes release video showing the truth
3. Press says “the government is lying!”
HOW IT APPARENTLY WORKS IN REAL LIFE
1. Brave heroes release video showing the truth
2. Government lies
3. Press says “Oh no, what now? So confusing! So hard!”
Perhaps the most politically important thing about Zohran Mamdani is that it seems like he really, really likes New York and New Yorkers.
