Kids are funny...

7yo: Look at the book I made for Santa
5yo: Nice
7yo: I'm going to make one for Mrs. Clause & one for the elves too
5yo: So 15?!
7yo: There's 13 elves???
5yo: Yeah!
7yo: Well I'm making one for them to share

Why she took the 5yo's word I do not know bc she straight made that up 😂

Mind you, he wanted to finish! The AD wouldn’t allow it. Feels like the hate train should be directed over there. Homie is mad that Kiffin used the rules that exist in the system all of them created.

This is all so absurd to me. College football has become this thing where these things are allowed. So, Kiffin followed suit and did the thing. And now everyone is mad. I truly don’t get it.

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

I don't understand how anyone can watch how blatantly Grok is manipulated to answer the way ownership desires it to and then act like the other LLM chatbots couldn't possibly be similarly but less obviously compromised to produce responses in whatever way corporate interests and priorities dictate.

Trump feuding with Marjorie Taylor Greene but being in love with Zohran Mamdani was not on my November 2025 bingo card

Zohran flip your hair again we need healthcare get him to give us healthcare.

If someone told me this were AI, I would believe it, because, wut?!

It’s giving fever dream 🥴

Hakeem Jeffries was literally voting for a resolution condemning socialism while this meeting was taking place

This is laughable and completely out of touch with what most of the country wants.

Another man…more NBA coaches in the W…..and we still have ZERO Black women head coaches…

That one young man got these people shook.

It's not a sophisticated reaction, but my response to both "quiet, piggy" and the Coast Guard okaying swastikas and nooses is a deep sadness that the compassion we're working so hard to foster in our children will not just be challenged by schoolyard bullies but by the highest levels of society.

Just to review, in the last week the President of the United States:

- Refused to condemn the rise of Neo-Nazis in his party
- Tried to block the release of further evidence he sexually abused children
- Encouraged the execution of Congressional Democrats

Those are just factual statements.

You ever just sit down and realize that the rise of 21st century fascism is capital's answer to climate change?

“Prohibited words and concepts: Equity, diversity, & inclusion; anti-racism; Bias; Critical race theory; implicit bias; oppression; intersectionality; prohibited discriminatory practices; racial privilege; promoting stereotypes based on personal identity characteristics.”

This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

Trump administration shares new moves to dismantle more of the Education Department Some of the responsibilities the administration aims to move were explicitly assigned to the U.S. Education Department by Congress, raising questions about the legality of these changes.

A list of where Project 2025 proposed that Department of Education components should go.

Here is what Project 2025 proposed for where components of the Department of Education should go. The Trump administration has followed this document pretty closely so far.

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

Letter from Chicago broadcast veterans: Federal immigration agents have traumatized us and eroded our rights The fact that some federal immigration forces may be leaving soon is cold comfort given the damage they’ve done.

"Please trust us now when we say that what is happening in the Chicago area is wrong *** It is not law enforcement; it is terror."

Critical Histories and Honoring Trailblazers of Color We cannot honor trailblazers without also acknowledging why they had to blaze their own trail.

I'm excited to finally share my side project, Voices of Color in School Psychology (VOCSP)! VOCSP is a project dedicated to documenting the history and experiences of school psychologists of color.

I went outside in a t shirt earlier to get the mail. It’s currently snowing 😑

Randomly remembering having used Uncle Ruckus to explain a statistical model to one of my students in supervision last week 😭😅.

Justice KBJ is a brilliant strategist. She is working the rules to compel timely review of the stay in the SNAP case by both the Circuit Court and by the Supreme Court. This is why knowing which SCOTUS justice has supervision of the Circuit you file in is essential.

Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market.

This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

I sincerely hope Democrats pay attention to tonight’s results across the country. They won’t learn anything but still. Maybe. People are excited by change and original campaigns and bold ideas and candidates under the age of 50!

HOPE
