The Washington Post refused to run this ad. Sure would be a shame if it went viral.

Writers. Buy this book! So well written and explained and fun to read. #writers #writingexercises #storytelling - really liked reading about 4 act structures, nested stories and more. Lots of examples. @henrylien

One good thing. Biden freed Leonard Peltier from decades in prison. Back in the 80s I interviewed one of his comrades, John Trudell for LA Weekly. Read the Matheison (spelling) book about Wounded Knee and have been angry about Peltier ever since. So I’m having a little happy moment.

It's wild that the Bloom study about 1:1 tutoring has been around for over 40 years, teachers have been advocating for increased staff & small class sizes the entire time, yet it's re-emerged as the TechBro mantra to answer education inequality & "democratization" with AI tutors. 😵‍💫

Yup, @jamellebouie.net has this exactly right. What these guys are celebrating/pursuing/yearning for is not masculine energy, it's *adolescent* energy. Drinking Red Bull, crushing Call of Duty, refusing to clean your room. It is indescribably pathetic. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/18/o...

America runs on two principles: greed and racism. Everything comes around to those two things.

This book is incredible. I wish I was still teaching literature. I would love my high school students to grapple with these ideas.
