Special education isn't about lowering the bar. It's about building a ladder.

Trump could die tomorrow, and the world carries on for most people. He’s one guy, and a divisive, evil one at that.
Why are we so worried about protecting him? If he’s so tough, he can suck it up and own the risk he created.

If someone shoots up a classroom tomorrow, how many heroes, how many geniuses, how many future loving moms, how many bar tenders who were there in your dark days, how many mechanics, do we lose before they even made it out of school? Republicans hate kids. Change my mind.

Hey Covid cautious peeps, New Zealand is updating it's building code ventilation standards and when I asked them what papers they were checking, they said "We're doing a bit, but if you've got anything else, we'll take a look".

Does anyone know of good academic papers on the topic? I have a few, but I'd love more.

Feel free to boost for reach.

A friend said that they never had the feeling of being so useless before, like they hadn't done or contributed anything important in their life.

I reminded them how much they had selflessly helped me and so many others, how their friendship, empathy and generous spirit inspires me.

We don't always know what others see in the little things we do on a regular basis, just going about our daily lives, or how it may impact them in a positive way.

Contributing happens in many ways.

My first book, "The Nerd Reich: Silicon Valley Fascism and The War On Democracy," will publish on August 18.

It tells the true story of how a small cult of venture capitalists embraced a grim prophecy in which technology will destroy the United States in the 21st century.

And they worked to make it true, pushing their ideas all the way into the core of the Trump regime.

My book is being published in the USA, UK/Commonwealth, Italy and Poland.

Hi folks; this is something I've been hesitant to post about since it's a very sensitive topic for me, but:

I'm moving out of the US later this year, and unfortunately for legal reasons I'll be unable to take my dog with me. All the rehoming services I've contacted are unable to take her in, so, I've made a little page about adopting her.
