In a rare statement, the bishops framed the immigration crisis in starkly moral terms. “We feel compelled now in this environment to raise our voices in defense of God-given human dignity,” they said.

I see nothing in here that would require the White House to actually spend any available funds, prevent rescissions or withholding of payments, or do anything to change what has become an unsettling status quo in this calendar year.

Just got the best out-of-office message I've ever seen from a fellow academic:

"I am currently away on leave. If this is an emergency... well, I doubt it. What could possibly be an emergency in my line of work?"

Can anyone point me to documented examples of country governments doing content-knowledge assessments with teachers?

I've seen analysis from regional tests (eg nicspaull.com/wp-content/u...) & from the World Bank's service delivery indicators (eg tessabold.com/uploads/7/0/...). Others?

Agent Lairmore is done with his testimony. Prosecution asked further about the condiments and he said there was mustard on his uniform and an onion hanging on his radio antenna. Don’t think defense was going for a pun when she called him a “seasoned officer,” but you never know…

Overall social media use is declining.

Between 2020 and 2024, more Americans — especially the youngest (18–24) and oldest (65+) — report using no social media at all.

A small group of heavy users remains, but the middle is thinning out.
