Why Is Trump Trying to Lose Our New Cold War With China? He doesn’t care about the policies or ideals that helped us prevail against the USSR.

Good question!

The Week Ahead February 2, 2025

[T]he Wired story describes a coupβ€”a takeover of government by a self-appointed group that wasn’t duly elected by the American people. Musk and his crew of men barely out of their teens haven’t taken an oath to serve, and they are not accountable to the public.

Hard to process the devastation I’ve witnessed in the last two days. Still in a state of shock for those who have lost so much in such a short period of time. #NoWords πŸ’”

A few random thoughts about Yoon's attempted coup/martial law:

1. It is so outrageous I am having trouble getting my head around it. I was in Korea in 1987 and I remember martial law. This is one of the dumbest moves by a Korean president in its history.

2. Yoon's fate is sealed...

Good initial read from Karl. Good God. I remember the mid-1980s...this I did not expect.

Beyond Efficiency: How AI is Unleashing Generative Thinking in Education When Students Use AI to Design Their Own Learning: Two Recent Classroom Stories

These examples of generative thinking in the classroom completely align with my experience using AI to brainstorm and think creatively rather than just as a shortcut to the β€œright” answer.

Our class panel is my favorite part of reunion homecoming. I was honored to join my classmates at Stanford Memorial Church to discuss finding meaning, connection, and wellbeing going into our β€œthird chapter”.

Spoiler: most of us are still working our way through it.πŸ€žπŸ™‚πŸ™

Terrific discussion on fearless vs careless speech. Importantly, your work also points a way out of the originalist constitutional interpretation bind beyond just the first amendment
