“Just One Day” uses the front pages of historical newspapers to contextualize momentous events, both joyous and heinous.

When is a source a primary source and how do we know anything about Sacajawea? youtu.be/vsuApPhFT3s

There are RULES for gov’t documents—who has them, sees them, keeps them, where they’re kept—because they’re a record of gov’t business.

Not open to all—but containing the doings & ACCOUNTABILITY of what our gov’t does.

The Nat’l Archives stores much of that vital data.

DJT fired the archivist.

Been routing around in the Local Rumor Control Project during WWII, specifically in the Denver office.

The rich will always only worry about themselves. This is a class war, always has been.

Differently stated the rumor is heard that the Administration jockeyed Japan and Germany into such a position that was was inevitable. Undoubtedly there are large groups of people in cities such as Denver who do not appreciate the fact that years of preparation and effort were made by Japan before action commenced at Pearl Harbor. They do not appreciate the fact that German newspapers were stating that President Roosevelt was endeavoring to line our country with Russian communism and Bolshevism before Germany declared war on this country. (In our opinion, there are numerous wealthy persons who hate so intensely the thought of being deprived of their present comfort and wealth because of increased taxes, etc., that they have become bitter and are taking it out on the Administration by criticizing the country in every possible way.)

👏 The question is: how do we ensure AI remains a tool for learning rather than a crutch? 👏

The first step is recognizing the power AI can contain for teachers and students, the second recognizing the drawbacks, and third, finding a way forward.

Flat out bans will never work.

Gift link.

A small unelected, secretive crew now has free access to sensitive private data of everyone.

And Musk is already publicly targeting family members of judges who rule against the administration.

If this isn’t ringing alarm bells, I don’t know what would.

What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicine—generations of expertise & public service & life improving benefits—is cultural revolution level national self harm. No foreign foe could inflict such brutal damage & senseless suffering on US so fast & effectively & unresisted.

Sage research 👏

Within #inquiry process and meaning making, mistakes and failure can be a more enriching learning tool than simply succeeding without challenge.
