โ€œYou are taking tax dollars and you have to be held accountable when you take tax dollars,โ€ he said. โ€œItโ€™s not a freebie anymore. Money doesnโ€™t grow on trees.โ€

Says the guy who spends taxpayer money on a parking lot for a European spa and funnels it into a slush fund for cronies & donors.

a snippet of a mini-comic, at top - straight line stretches from point A to B. Immediately below, same dot at A, then becomes a curving, meandering line that winds through the page and ends at a point with rays and a question mark emanating from it. Text reads: "Nothing can do this for you - for that robs you of experience and conflates answers with learning. Rather, it's all the decisions you make along the way, the mistakes, struggles, and surprises! These pathways you create - this is learning.

Post from Amanda Gormanโ€™s Instagram that says 

amandascgorman
Minneapolis, Minnesota
For Renee Nicole Good
Killed by ICE. on January 7, 2026
by Amanda Gorman
They say she is no more, That there her absence roars, Blood-blown like a rose.
Iced wheels flinched & froze.
Now, bare riot of candles, Dark fury of flowers, Pure howling of hymns.
If for us she arose,
Somewhere, in the pitched deep of our grief, Crouches our power,
The howl where we begin,
Straining upon the edge of the crooked crater Of the worst of what we've been.
Change is only possible, & all the greater, When the labour
& bitter anger of our neighbors
Is moved by the love
* better angels of our nature.

Problem-Based Learning and Future-Ready Skills Well-designed projects help students build valuable skills such as collaboration, critical thinking, and communication.

โ€œThe best structure Iโ€™ve seen for teaching, developing, and assessing the skills that students are going to need in an AI world is problem-based learning,โ€ educator Jay Goodman writes in his first article for Edutopia.

Zohran Mamdani (center) is sworn in as New York City mayor by New York Attorney General Letitia James (left) at the old City Hall subway station. His wife, Rama Duwaji stands beside him (right) holding the Quran on which he placed his hand while swearing his oath of office. The trio are standing on a staircase under a vaulted tile ceiling that says CITY HALL.

What the experts want you to know about these key ADHD symptoms Some people refer to Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder as "a superpower" while others describe their ADHD symptoms as debilitating. Can both be true?

ADHD can mean periods of hyperfocus OR task paralysis. And while task paralysis may mean a tendency to "doomscroll on our phones or stare out windows, [it] can also look like 'procrasti-activity, doing all the other less important things on the list.'"

What the Alberta government just did should worry all Canadians.

When they legislated striking teachers back to work, they went a step further:

They used the notwithstanding clause.

This is part of a worrying trend.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.โ€ These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

Can't speak highly enough of @queerasl.bsky.social. I've taken their 101-103 classes (and may well again, since I've lost a lot due to lack of practice--my fault) and found it a really wonderful, welcoming experience.

Why are some 'science of learning' people effectively telling me their subject can't be interesting or intrinsically motivating? That seems a really odd message. The point is you have to work at it, at all ages.

I've seen 3 year olds learn about the water cycle. Lots of under estimating of children going on in some of these narratives.

Something odd about our education system is the way that children get less agency and independence the older they get, rather than more. Maybe this is linked to the apparent drop off in intrinsic motivation as young people get older as well? ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

The only visible remainder of the bridge that the creek once flowed under before it was buried in concrete and the ravine filled in behind my vantage point: the top of the wall on the north side. Itโ€™s covered in graffiti and doesnโ€™t give away its historic significance.

I drove my youngest to work yesterday morning, which meant I could go for a walk to explore Bickford Park and the surrounding area again. I was tracing the path of buried Garrison Creek, the waterway that once flowed under the Harbord Bridge before it was fouled by dumping, stuck in pipes, covered.
