I would say you’re being unfair…except that he then lied about what he said rather than acknowledge the nature of his mistake.

Because teaching is just explaining things.

Motivating? Yeah, no, that’s not part of teaching.

You need to tell Amazon what email addresses are allowed to send to your kindle email addresses.

It’s a white list, not some blacklist.

It’s in the Amazon preferences on the website somewhere.

Here’s how it look on iOS. Search Amazon settings for personal document settings.

Always blame unidimensionality.

I have always deplored how few rights children have in our country, and how parents are allowed to abuse and limit them—by right.

I’ve heard, “If it was good enough for me, it’s good enough for my kid,” by people who didn’t learn the lesson themselves back in the day.

We should want more for kids.

This is how the moral position wins. It is incredibly hard to do.

If it were easy, John Lewis wouldn’t be so impressive.

Protesters against authoritarianism need to try to be more like John Lewis than they thought possible.

Here’s the extended quote I am working from. Nearly 200 words. I’ve tried to make it a LITTLE easier to read on a phone.

I think it’s: Grosz, E. (1994). Sexual difference and the problem of essentialism. The essential difference, 1, 82.

A reissue?

7) Claude seems to lie about whether it can see line breaks.
* at first, “I can see the exact formatting you used. Your message contains 4 paragraphs with single line breaks between them”

* When pressed, “You're right to push back. Looking more carefully, you formatted this as two paragraphs.”

“Ultimately, theories with bespoke exceptions aren’t theories; they’re just preferences,” writes @stevevladeck.bsky.social

This is really the point. If they see exceptions, then they need to explain why other’s preferred exceptions are any less appropriate.

In her favor, her first book recommendation was Dewey’s Democracy and Education.

To her detriment, she complained about state learning standards. But what’s wrong with these?

Sure. They want a unidimensional measure of intelligence.

But I am not talking about intelligence testing. In fact, I work hard to fight the use of unidimensional reporting of multidimensional constructs.

I even have a hat.

I’ve got two NCME hats and they cost me way less than that.

It is.

But even chatGPT has decent uses.

I use it produce illustrations for presentations.

Kermit has long been a reporter.

He should be able to find plenty to say about the state of our new media.
