The smartest people in the world today are not focused on solving the world's problems.

No, they are all employed specifically to grab an increasing share of our collective attention, by whatever algorithmic magic they can muster.

I think that this is the essence of our global polycrisis.

Scholars - if you're publishing articles behind a paywall, why not make your work accessible to everyone by also publishing a preprint version?

It’s Time to Break Up with .gov When official sites spread bias and misinformation, librarians have to stop calling them trustworthy and start teaching students how to hold them accountable.

We used to tell students to trust .gov sites. Not anymore. When official pages rewrite timelines and push partisan messages, librarians must shift our practice. Credibility isn’t automatic. We now teach students to verify even β€œofficial” sources. New post: open.substack.com/pub/aischool... #tlsky

Setting Up an Engaging Launch for a New Unit in Middle School By encouraging students to think deeply at the beginning of units, teachers can help them see why the material is relevant to their lives.

Next time you launch a new unit, try this: engaging students with big, exciting themes instead of going straight to vocabulary! @amirtaron.bsky.social explains how. πŸš€

Tomorrow is a critical day for democracy in court. Compare how the Washington Post framed it vs Democracy Docket.

Right now, fearless, pro-democracy media is more important than legacy media platitudes. Sign up now to say informed. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0?ut...
