The learning loss / child experimentation crowd suspiciously quiet

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.

Sounds's like this guy's daughter has a really expensive hobby, if it needs a car just to make it happen.

So the anti-car people think we should bike or take public transit everywhere. I just checked and to get to my daughter’s field practice would be over 6 hours each way (pretty sure she’d be too tired to actually practice after that too, especially as she’d need a cargo bike to carry all her […]

when i was in school, "revising a draft to make it yours" was called plagiariasm

Carl T. Bergstrom@carlbergstrom.com

"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? MIT's "Day of AI" dayofai.org provides materials for K-12 teachers and claims to have reached over 5,000,000 students to date. 1/2

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.

Elrond tells the long story of the One Ring, from its forging in the Mountain of Fire, to its betrayal of Isildur at the Gladden Fields. Frodo is startled to learn that Elrond himself marched with Gil-Galad in the Last Alliance against Sauron, more than three thousand years ago.

Again, this isn't some "woke" Black organization that made some sensationalized, non-data-backed claim that police in Ferguson systematically targeted innocent Black people at such massive scale that a consent decree was required. It was the US Department of Justice under Trump.🤷🏿‍♂️

Early this year, I visited Ingram, a TX town of ~1,900, to check out a tip. The area was starting to recover from its worst flood in a century. But as Latino workers drove to jobsites to help rebuild, the tipster said, a cop in a black Dodge Charger kept stopping them ... 🧵

if you ever happen to see someone post a joke you don't understand or discuss a subject you aren't familiar with, you are well within your right to complain, and perhaps even scold them if necessary. you are their customer and you have rights

Bicycles. Kevlar makes tires much better. Led lighting is a-maz-ing compared to the shit we had. Machining and material science improvements give us precise shifting, more durable spokes. And, battery-powered e-assist, if you want or need it.

Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?

Maybe it makes me a credentialist, but I hate how we constantly elevate guys like Yglesias — who have no relevant education or work experience. In politics, he's never run for office, worked on a campaign or served as an appointee. On policy, he has a BA and has never worked in government.

A helpfully clear exchange here Hasan: "So your argument is that [Minnesota ICE protesters] should stay at home because immigration is a salient issue for Donald Trump. Opposing ICE is only going to help Trump. Wait until we win the election in 2028." Yglesias: "Yes that is what I would have said"

This guy was caught on video committing one of the worst road rage incidents I've ever seen, plowing into a group of riders—and then he left the scene. Seriously, fuck the Atlanta Journal-Constitution for framing him as some sort of a victim. You are complicit assholes. www.ajc.com/news/2026/10...

El-Sayid has disavowed the Muslim Brotherhood while Trump was gifted a plane by the folks funding the Muslim Brotherhood. An adjudicated rapist named in the Epstein files 38,000 times lies about schools transing kids. They're hassling Omar again as Trump's family has stolen billions in plain sight.

What's left of MAGA is rallying around a few core beliefs. Making horrible shit up about Black, brown and Muslim people, immigrants from certain countries, and trans folks. Obsessing about Biden. Ignoring the Epstein Files, an affordability crisis and unprecedented graft. What a time to be alive.

they tell me “you can’t do that”. “I can’t park the bike?”, “no, you can’t leave the bag unattended” they say pointing my permanently attached (and empty) panier. “You realise that the van just there could have hundreds of fully loaded paniers at the back?”, “it’s different. It is a van”…
