Can’t help thinking Nancy Pelosi just did with Biden what Mitch McConnell never had the guts to do with Trump…

If you care about American art and culture, then you’ll surely agree that Muppet*Vision 3D in Disney World should be protected on the National Register of Historic Places. Jim Henson was a great man, and this is his Sistine Chapel. trib.al/nnjyItC

We have already willingly given so much power to content recommendation AIs, I think we are underestimating how quickly and even joyfully we will give power to AIs that will know us and talk with us.
The first has been very bad for the fabric of society, I think the second will be worse.

From the 1960s to 90s, Shirley Collier was a hairdresser in south Texas. She collected recipes from patrons who brought in goodies to share with the customers. Her son, Curt Collier, will share & prepare these for you! #ethicalculture #BergenCounty #BettyCrocker

Although I found the standards-based grading system superior to the traditional grading system, students were still focused on scores, not on learning. @deadeddys teachersgoinggradeless.com/b…

Now more than ever, we must raise our voices to push back against mandate-imposed dictates under the guise of lifting our schools when it's actually turning them into a one-size-fits-all-so -do-what-you're-told factory.' Please stand up and speak up in any way you can!

When it comes to soccer, there are few places more special than Kearny — the birthplace of American soccer.
I am grateful to the @premierleague, @EASPORTS, the @ussoccerfndn, and Kearny School District for their help building this mini-pitch for kids in New Jersey.

Florida Board of Education approves clarifications to social studies standards that include teaching students that slavery helped enslaved people develop "skills [that could be] applied for their personal benefit."
One must ask why the board members want this view taught.

Today's Poetry Thread: EMPATHY
"This isn't a place to call home." Feel free to add poems.
ALT Mimesis BY FADY JOUDAH My daughter wouldn’t hurt a spider That had nested Between her bicycle handles For two weeks She waited Until it left of its own accord If you tear down the web I said It will simply know This isn’t a place to call home And you’d get to go biking She said that’s how others Become refugees isn’t it?

Hanover Township Board of Education's new policy requiring staff to "out" LGBTQ students to their parents violates the rights of our students — jeopardizing their well-being and mental health.
I support @NewJerseyOAG in challenging the Board's policy.
In New Jersey, we will always work tirelessly to protect our LGBTQ+ youth from discrimination. That’s why we’re challenging the Hanover Township Board of Education's new policy requiring staff to out LGBTQ+ students to their parents. bit.ly/3Wdbfa4

Gun laws seem to work in literally every other country in the world. We’re all well aware you don’t like that fact. What’s next? We keep dying until there are electoral consequences for Republicans who believe the Second Amendment is more sacred than second graders.
