@schmichael Huh. That’s disappointingly normal. Gonna go post all over Reddit and Amazon reviews that the Domestic CFX smells like farts

@ben @jbigham @andresmh I’d be interested in taking a peak at it at least. Signed up for it quite some time ago and never have gotten an invite code. Apparently no Pop and Play listeners on the Bluesky team… 😜🤣

Imagine believing that the college admission process was truly evaluating "challenges bested, skills built, or lessons learned." Maybe it's not good that those making and interpreting our laws have lived their entire lives in make believe land? #SCOTUS

@BenPatrickWill What a depressing article. A six fold increase in cost and they’re still at the “oh we fixed it on that page but not the other page” stage? Khan Academy has always been snake oil but bilking public schools for a shitty prototype that gobbles up data and never performs is next level.

I was excited to share our new pictorial at #IDC2023 featuring photo-visuals from Family Creative Learning to share visuals as "knowledge-building artifacts": "Imagining Alternative Visions of Computing: Photo-Visuals of Material, Social, and Emotional Contexts from Family Creative Learning" https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/3585088.3589235

Implementing K-12 computer science is complicated! Check out this case study led by Dr. Rafi Santo and our research team Dr. Leigh Ann DeLyser & myself on the kinds of district leadership practices and conditions that need to be addressed: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/epub/10.1177/14782103231178069

As part of my job I often interact with colleagues on rotation at the National Science Foundation. And on more than one occasion, without thinking and out of common courtesy, I've offered to buy them a coffee. When this has happened, every one has politely refused, telling me this would be a conflict of interest. But sure Alito. https://www.propublica.org/article/samuel-alito-luxury-fishing-trip-paul-singer-scotus-supreme-court
Justice Samuel Alito Took Luxury Fishing Vacation With GOP Billionaire Who Later Had Cases Before the Court

In the years after the undisclosed trip to Alaska, Republican megadonor Paul Singer’s hedge fund has repeatedly had business before the Supreme Court. Alito has never recused himself.
