A short video about physics.
I'm using video game music from ONE game in the background. Can you name the game without looking at the end card? Comment below! #teaching #Videogames #Physics

It cracks me up that they used a touchscreen to bring up the big number zero.
“How many companies have moved 100% of their manufacturing to 🇺🇸 since Trump took office?

The answer is pretty clear: Zero.”

New Dungeons and Dragons short is done!

I completed this one quickly, with a 3-day turnaround for 20 pages of mystery-solving madness! I'm going to do more of these; I'm in a good groove. Plus, it's a nice break from the puzzle book.

Doing a new #ttrpg for the Knight Owl Investigation series.

Tonight, over fancy pizza and these date treat things, the players will make a team to investigate some bank fraud and forgery... but then a bank heist happens so team "nerdy bureaucracy fraud specialists" has to solve it!

This is a complicated piece of what is basically propaganda, but it shows the military being ordered to fire on civilians. While the British were found not guilty of what this drawing shows, the optics of it impacted the people's perception.

Perception is why the USA exists right now.

I'm helping someone take a citizenship test. One of the questions she got wrong was "What's the longest river in the USA" and I was thinking ... that I hate trivial questions like this but ... it's the Mississippi right?

Nope, it's ONE MILE shorter than the Missouri.

My 8th grade girls made me a pencil box because mine wasn't cute enough. I love they took my lesson on how the eye sees contrasting colors to make this AND made the pencil "pencil" colored.

One of the things I like about teaching it getting smart people to do smart people stuff, then we all win.

How about some basic rules?
--All law enforcement officers should wear identification
--No law enforcement officers should be allowed masks
--All law enforcement officers should wear and use body cams
...oh and...
--All law enforcement officers should understand, respect & follow the law

My high school clients were curious about Liberation Day.
Here you go; it's a bit of a crash course in the antiquated concepts of trade deficits and tariffs.

A throwback to when I had long hair and used to act in random documentaries. This one is called "Dangerous Crossing: The True Story of the Mayflower"

Every so often I'll toss this one on and watch the kids freak out.
