JUST IN: Mississippi 4th graders rank No. 1 in U.S. for reading & math score improvement since 2013, after ranking 49th in reading & 50th in math that year.
Not surprising to many people in education. Schools aren’t equipped for this kind of battle.

I’m convinced that the key to life is having low expectations and high standards. Low expectations for things outside your control. High standards for things within it. The recipe for a good life.

The pattern of geriatric boomers dying or continuing to ‘serve’ while in a vegetative state while still in office is not a sign of a healthy society. We desperately need term limits and a mandatory retirement age to make way for the next generation of leadership.

I’m convinced that the most underrated trait in life is the willingness to change your mind. Certainty isn't strength. The most impressive people change their minds often in response to new information. It’s a software update. The goal isn't to be right. It's to find the truth.

Can I return back to college football?
I only played 2 seasons, should have 2 more eligibility years left….
Can you find me a judge in Louisiana who can see to it that Honey Badger gets to finish his last 2 years of college football?
Who’s going to say no ?????

This is going to be long.
Last semester I suspected I had a major issue with use of AI in my survey courses, so I inserted what is known as a trojan horse (not the virus kind) into the directions of a paper assignment. As it turned out, I did in fact have a major problem, and a post on Threads about it accidentally went quasi-viral and ultimately became a Huffington Post article and an NPR interview.

Chuck was an icon.
I am grateful that I was able to work with him in multiple ways over the years, from promoting fitness to sharing the screen together. He was a badass, in real life and in Hollywood.
His legend will be with us forever. My thoughts are with his family.

Something strange is happening in the information war.
Young Americans defending regimes like the Islamic Republic of Iran that jail protesters, strip women of rights and execute people for being gay.
Self-described patriots on the right suddenly echoing narratives that benefit a country like Russia — which is openly hostile to the United States.
How does that happen?
Not through tanks or missiles.
Post by post, people get pulled into camps that don’t actually serve their own country or their own values. They become pieces on a chessboard in a GRAY WAR — a conflict fought with information instead of bullets.
And most people don’t even realize they’re part of it.
The battlefield isn’t overseas anymore — it’s in your feed.

💤Researchers found that prescription stimulants for ADHD act on brain networks that control wakefulness and reward, but not attention as previously thought. The study suggests that stimulants and additional sleep affect the brain in similar ways, and that getting enough sleep could help in managing #ADHD.

However bitter the Americans might be at the arrogance and ingratitude of euro-elites, they should never forget the 1500 non-US NATO allied servicemen who died in the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars. The ultimate sacrifice made precisely because they were your allies.
Trump on NATO: "I've always said, will they be there if we ever needed them? That's really the ultimate test. I'm not sure of that. We've never needed them. They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan and this or that. And they did. They stayed a little back, off the front lines."
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Other NATO members sent troops to Iraq and Afghanistan. For example the UK armed forces lost many hundreds of lives in these wars
