I never know how to react to the latest news, so let me just say one more time: immigration is good. It helps immigrants and it helps native-born people. It makes the world richer, culturally and financially.

I believe my pencil and doll expenditures this year is exactly zero.
No wait, I bought a Pentel P205. (The best pencil.) So $4.50 in pencil and doll expenditures this year.

Trump: "You can give up certain products. You could give up pencils. Because under the China policy, every child can get 37 pencils. They only need 1 or 2. They don't need that many. You always need steel. You don't need 37 dolls for your daughter. 2 or 3 is nice. So we're doing things right."

How about we let the subject specialists (i.e., the course instructors) choose what content is taught?

When I was a professor, I was happy to give any accommodation that the accommodation office gave a student. And for people worried about the “real world”, actually federal law also requires employers to make accommodations for people with disabilities.
A lot of education discourse is at root an inability to decide whether the purpose of our education system is to 1) teach material and measure learning 2) reward students who work hard 3) separate the smart kids (destined for smart guy jobs) from the dumb kids (destined to serve the smart guys)

It’s just morally reprehensible to say an immigrant “took” a house from a citizen, when what they actually did was bought it (or rented it) with their own money that they earned by producing something of value.

Look, I highly value math skills, but I teach my kids pretty much the opposite thing. Social emotional skills are vastly more important to live a fulfilling life than math skills.

Even if this were true, it’s still illegal to just blow up drug traffickers. We have to prove it in a court of law.

Special education isn't a "nice thing to have." It isn't "charity" or doing something to make us feel better. It is a right. The right to a Free Appropriate Public Education is codified in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, signed by a Republican president.
U.S. Department of Education fired nearly everyone in the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services in a wave of new layoffs that began Friday, according to the union representing the agency's employees. www.usatoday.com/story/news/e...

Kevin Hassett: "The data can't be propaganda. The data has to be something you can trust, bc decision-makers throughout the economy trust that these are the data that they can build a factory because they believe, or cut interest rates. If the data aren't that good, it's a real problem for the US."

If anything good comes from the sadistic attacks by ICE now, I hope it's that people actually look up a candidate's immigration policy and vote based on it. You don't need to be an open borders weirdo like me to care.

Sleepovers on the regular. Sometimes with kids my parents didn’t really know.
What’s a real thing from your childhood that kids these days would find completely foreign?
Like, how we used to be able to walk right up to the gate to meet our family coming off a flight.
Or how we had to pick a spot to meet at the theater BEFORE we went.

Outcomes like the one quoted here can very well be optimal. In fact, the optimal level of security does not perfectly guard against harm.

Unassuming dad is totally my vibe.
Taking my teen to see The Weeknd tonight in Detroit, and nothing screams the horror and joys of middle age like:
1. Realizing my entire wardrobe is from the dorky dad genre
2. Remembering I don't care and I'm going to have fun no matter how embarrassing I am.

This is the behavioral manifestation of cognitive dissonance.
If you are a real social scientist, it is very hard to maintain the claim that all evidence of systemic racism is not real science. Much of it is published in top-ranked peer-reviewed journals in Bhattacharya's field of economics. He can either do MAGA, or science, but not both.
The NIH Director continues to misunderstand (or mischaracterize) the extent to which research is being gutted. I appreciate this program officer for speaking up.

The Trump administration plans to accept a Boeing 747 plane as a donation from the Qatari royal family, which will be upgraded to serve as Air Force One.
The plane will then be donated to Trump’s library when he leaves office, allowing him to continue using it as a private citizen.

The plan raises substantial ethical issues, given the immense value of the lavishly-appointed plane and the fact that Mr. Trump plans to use it after he leaves office.
