I'm 5 years into my podcast and I only record the audio. My guess are always appreciative that they don't have to be camera ready. So much less work to just do audio.

There isn't a single problem "solved" by edtech that couldn't be fixed with smaller classes led by well-paid teachers given real academic freedom

Thinking of you, your dad and your family, @kim.senate.gov. Alzheimer's touches so many, and we must do more to support our care workforce and families like yours.

Immigration Agents Are Using Air Passenger Data for Deportation Effort

WOW. @haleaziz.bsky.social with a new scoop: ICE now gets a running list of every person who is going to be taking a domestic flight inside the United States from the TSA and runs it through their database looking for targets. This explains the Babson College student's arrest.

You're right. All sports are hard to access. There are too many platforms that cost too much money. So many missed opportunities for serendipity in coming across a game, getting into it and becoming a fan. Such a shame.

My nephew joined the newly created Republican club in high school because they had donuts. A kid started the club to put it on his college applications but they never met. I'm not saying this news in Tennessee is great but... Hopefully probably maybe most kids won't care.

Baseball has chosen short-term financial gain over long-term growing the fan base. TV contracts are lucrative and teams having their own app gives them more control, but when you can't just turn the TV on and find a game, you're missing out on a whole big audience. Hockey, well, ugh.

This media environment is the worst I’ve seen outside of the runup to the Iraq War but at the end of the day you can’t trick people into finding boring, tired content interesting. They can just change the channel or switch to another tab or app.

This has to be the most reckless thing Disney has ever done with their IP and I cannot wait for them to figure out what a bad idea this is.

From 2005 to 2012, one CBP officer or agent was arrested for corruption, crimes, or misconduct EVERY SINGLE DAY. By 2019, it had slowed to just one every 35 hours. Still a huge problem:
