Well this sure is a banger. Coming from Freire who was exiled from Brazil because teaching the poor to read meant they could then vote (and overthrow the fascist govt at the time) should make all of us more aware of why some folks in the US would love to destroy #education for student autonomy

If you don't want to fool with Reddit and/or you don't care about the TV show Shoresy (or hockey), feel free to skip this post. This clip from a recent hockey game (Four Nations Tournament) shows an opening-puck-drop brawl that would make Shoresy very proud. I was looking for the Jims! #SetTheTone

✨Sharing a win today since everything around us is burning down... I've been learning to code in Python and Java (and SQL and a tiny bit of C++) these past few years, both on my own and in formal courses. Just turned in a project built by scratch from me in Python - a package delivery routing...

For years, I've followed the blog of the folks who wrote the book Crucial Conversations, which i consider a "must read" for anyone who lives in human society. (You can buy an older edition used for like $3, get one!) They post weekly and every post is worth your time to read. Here's this week's:

super good read on the valuable work of Ursula Franklin, who survived Nazi Germany to do good writing and thinking about how technological innovation reshapes our world. For example (screenshot): www.wrecka.ge/ursulas-list...

talked to a friend working at an R1 in our state system. Them: as of right now, many PhD students and post-docs are simply out of a contract come May. No warning, no support. A total decimation of future researcher pipelines. The institution's admin are just "obeying in advance," no pushback. 😡

Not exaggerating when I say I would like a personal, handwritten apology from every pundit who barfed out a dozen "the left wants to change the way you talk!" op-eds based on non-mandatory guidelines in obscure PDFs.

Watched the movie "Saturday Night" (it's on various streaming services) a few days ago and really like it. Tells a version of SNL's origin story with what's probably a very positive outlook on Lorne Michaels, just of the couple hours leading up to the very first broadcast. I recommend - it's good!

And here we see how the golden handcuffs of federal funding through grants and research will force every higher ed institution to immediately roll over and comply with the racist fascist techbro oligarchy we’re now living under. avlwatchdog.org/trump-mandat...

Some real dunbass shit here. Using “DEI” as the Satan du jour is so unbelievably stupid, it hurts to even type this skeet. Explain to me how domestic violence victim support is unfair advantage. Go ahead. Fucking ghouls. Insult to ghouls honestly. www.postandcourier.com/greenville/b...
