Hot take but I always see videos of the butterfly method go viral but I would *never* teach this method and here's why.

If you're in need of positive and rather wholesome news, there's a high school teacher named Bryan who took a ton of freely licensed celebrity headshots at the New York Film Festival last month for Wikipedia, and I truly can't believe how drastic the upgrade is for some articles (thread)

I'm trying to use Bluesky to sell tickets to my comedy special taping. Don't make me promote on Twitter. I'd rather have an empty house. But it'd be so much nicer if it were full.

I’m so sick of the economic issues are more important than social issues people. 44% of the US is non-white, 30% are white women. We’re all included in “DEI,” a group they’re trying to kick out of the job market. It’s hilarious that anyone thinks they can have an economy without us.

We need to talk about how social media algorithms push moms down a slippery slope of distrust.
From "Are my kids getting enough support in school?" To "Maybe I should homeschool." To "Maybe modern medicine is bad."
I've seen this first-hand in research I'm doing on parenting apps. 1/🧵

This gets at the heart of what teachers need to cultivate - the recognition that the thinking process is the point. #bkyedu #eduai
I think this is a key thing between early AI adopters and creatives — whether or not you view the process happening in your brain as the whole point, or whether you think the computer is making boring or “hard” things faster so you can do something else

Watching Jay, I realize I am simply exhausted by folks in positions of leadership who are driven to distraction by critique.
If you can't function with critique and pushback, a leadership position is not for you.
Leadership REQUIRES you to absorb and process the critique of stakeholders.

A troubling development. The IB is not a perfect programne but one of its main missions is to help students ethically navigate an interconnected world. Global citizens are a weapon against authoritarian govts. What other dictatorships will follow Russia's lead? #intled
I spent a summer in China teaching 'American teaching methods' which were often defined by the underpinnings of democracy - I was always curious about that choice. This - this makes more sense to me - www.nytimes.com/2025/09/22/w...

In the 2010s, this country's elites were thrown onto social platforms with everyone else and could finally read what we all think about them and it caused them so much psychic damage that they decided to destroy both the internet and democracy to make sure nothing like it ever happened again.
