I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

Members of Congress swear an oath to defend the Constitution. If they are too scared to follow through on that—not unreasonable, many really are getting harassment and death threats—then they should step down so someone who is up for the job can do it. Of 220m US adults, only 535 are in Congress.

If I had a band or a label, I would do a punk cover of "No More Kings" from Schoolhouse Rock. And then I would gather a bunch of people to write a whole album of next-generation Schoolhouse Rock songs, with songs about Social Security and Medicaid and NOAA. I am not kidding in the least.

At Achieving the Dream and one of the plenaries is about using AI in education, and the speaker makes some big claims and claims to back them up with data, but I can’t help but conclude every actual example he shows of using it is little more than a parlor trick

Look, I know the future is dystopian at the moment, but let’s not pretend that the machine that “can’t accurately identify the interpretation an historian expressly offers in an historical article” somehow “knows me better than myself.”

Watching an old (late 90s) “Ancient Mysteries” documentary on the mound building peoples, & this show is “woke” as shit. Essentially it says:“some Europeans thought these mounds could not have been built by native Americans, but those ideas were either racist or driven by efforts to sell artifacts.”

Strip clubs, topless bars, Hooters etc have an opportunity to do something really funny and insist on making their workforce 50% male in order to comply with anti-DEI mandates. Those ladies are taking jobs away from red-blooded American men who need the work
