The Pentagon: We donโ€™t know where $2.3 trillion went.

The White House: We donโ€™t know where $6.2 billion went.

The U.S. Navy: We donโ€™t know where an F-35 fighter jet went.

The IRS: We know where that $601 went, report it if you donโ€™t want to end in jail.

Hello friends! Friendly reminder real quick.

Being fast and accurate at computation is not synonymous with being good at math.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

Whenever I hear people say that we should cure diseases โ€œnaturallyโ€ I think of the bear I saw with a ten foot long tape worm hanging out of its butt.

Nature is great, but not having tapeworms is also great.

And having affordable tuberculosis testing would be even better!

. Danaher Corporation makes 8 billion dollars in annual profits. Much of that profit comes from price-gouging the world's poorest countries for life-saving tuberculosis tests. Danaher has done this in the dark for 13 long years.
Today, we shine the light.

She believed she could but it was uncompensated, non promotable work she had no interest in so she set a reasonable boundary, protected her time, and said no.

Grandparents needs to focus on repairing their relationships with their children instead of trying to start over with their grandchildren.

Secondary teachers, especially English teachers:

How do you incorporate vocabulary acquisition and/or study into class? Thinking specifically about high-leverage academic vocabulary.

Please only comment if you done it/seen it done effectively.

I say this as a future school leader with a Masters in school leadership. How can I walk into a teacherโ€™s room and help them if I donโ€™t have data about where theyโ€™re starting and where theyโ€™re going? How can I help grow them if I dunno what theyโ€™re doing?

Idk if the lack of community care in our culture is more evident than when moms casually say they daydream about being hospitalized for something only moderately serious so that they are forced to not have any responsibilities for like 3 days.

One of the things about โ€œjust Google itโ€ or โ€œdo your own researchโ€ (no shade or shaming anyone, Iโ€™ve done it often) is that the lack of media literacy means people donโ€™t have fully developed research skills nor the practiced discernment to separate out quality information.

The lockdown narrative is hilarious. There truly was no lockdown, just adjustments. In May 2020, my Dad suffered a massive stroke and was on life support. I had to fly home to Chicago. There was no permission needed to fly, I bought a ticket and flew from Maine to Chicago.

If paying a cashier a living wage will make prices go up. Why doesn't replacing cashiers with Self Checkouts make prices go down?

just a reminder that the religious right didnโ€™t originally begin as a movement to oppose abortion but to oppose racial integration in the 1960s. white supremacy is a feature of white evangelicalism, not a flaw

Aspergers used to be what we called people with โ€˜high functioningโ€™ autism. We now just use the term autism and we are slowly moving away functioning labels because our levels of functioning increases and decreases at different points a cross the life span.
