A version of the kermit vs darth kermit meme where good kermit tells the online academic that they should grade, while darth kermit tells them they should eat more pie.

Every academic right now

Wow. Not a good look for the Buckeyes.

Journalists flock to Bluesky as X becomes increasingly 'toxic' Journalists are finding more readers and less hate on Bluesky than on the platform they used to know as Twitter.

NBC: Mississippi Free Press "Bluesky is getting 20 times the engagement or more than Twitter,” Pittman said. “Seeing a social media platform that doesn’t throttle links really makes it clear how badly we were being limited.”

You're reading my mind.

I'm even thinking about this as a college educator since this, too, is a government job. And we know how scared some folks are about producing college-educated, critical thinkers. I've found many excellent certificate programs at minimal costs at local community colleges (TCC and Dallas College).

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1,000 a month. A year later, nearly half of participants said they had housing. Participants in Denver's basic-income program reported having more-secure housing, though results were similar in the trial and control groups.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing.

They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays.

The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k.

I'm not playing this game.

Hoping to see more daily fantasy sports content on Bluesky.

Martie approves of this message.

The usual suspects are out there yelling "There are 23 million government workers! Fire most of them!" No awareness that most work for local governments, and most of *them* are schoolteachers. Federal employment hasn't grown since the 1950s

Good list. The skill most young writers seem to struggle with most is listening, which makes No. 2 and 3 a whole lot harder.

It’s been a rough, rough season. But there’s always hope.

Waking up to see my favorite college football DFS analyst @ukillbillwalsh.bsky.social wearing an old-school Auburn shirt on the Run Pure Sports show. It's gonna be a great Saturday!

Adorable!

Jumped back into season-long fantasy football this year. After an 0-2 start, I’ve climbed to the top. For now. I’m sure everything will come tumbling down now that I’ve posted this.

If you want to pursue a career in sports media, you need to immerse yourself in sports media. That means reading, watching and listening to content on The Athletic, which should be near the top of any To Do list. For 25 cents a week, this is a steal. #sportsmedia #sportswriting #journalism

She’s amazing! She was living in the woods down by Lake Lewisville when a couple of friends of ours found her and took her in. We’ve had her for one week now and she has fit right in.

Meet Riley, the newest member of the family. She has already stolen our hearts.

Senate Democrats Are Running Out of Time to Pass a Shield Law to Protect Journalism The PRESS Act, which would protect journalists from government spying, enjoys broad bipartisan support and has passed the House—but it’s unclear whether the Senate will take it up.

This needs to happen.

It’s been a long time since I started a social media account, so I would like to introduce myself: I am a photographer & designer in Fort Worth TX. I enjoy sharing photos of the landscape and animals that visit my small adobe house in Santa Fe.

So glad to see you here! As a writer and journalism instructor, I loved your Grammarian and font videos. Hope to see your content here!

Not to mention the whole mess with their former football coach, who now happens to coach my alma mater. (And not very well)

Love how they make money on the "sins" of students. That pretty much says it all.

Severance + an Old Fashioned = a pretty nice Friday night.

Today was a very cool day. Our students learned a lot, and so did their advisers.

This seems like good, wholesome content to share for my first post here. I'm incredibly proud of our students at The Collegian for all their hard work and accomplishments. The Pacemaker is the equivalent of the Pulitzer in student media circles. 💪
