Congratulations Cade Brumley, Kelli Bottger and everyone who worked so hard to show what was possible.
To make such significant gains on the NAEP in the midst of the pandemic disruptions is extraordinary.

“Then, at the end, she gave me one last gift…She left me the means to expiate all those sins of omission and commission that crowd my mind at three in the morning. She left me Ringo. For better or worse, I will be Assistant No. 2 to the very end of his days, or mine.”

The quest for this tradeoff ended really well last time… 😳
New research suggests that using opioids to relieve physical suffering without risking addiction is in fact possible, Richard A. Friedman writes:
Imagine a Drug That Feels Like Tylenol and Works Like OxyContin
New research points to a future in which pleasure and pain relief can be independently controlled.

More people are ambivalent about having kids. Should liberals care? @jerusalem.bsky.social speaks with a philosopher who wants to challenge how the left engages with the issue.
Is Ambivalence Killing Parenthood?

Related fun (?) fact: I was born on the day of my dad’s last Georgetown Law final in the mid-1970s. They required “proof”, which of course he didn’t have because birth certificates aren’t issued that quickly. So he brought me days after as “proof.”
So, sounds likes it’s gotten even *worse*

Even developing countries like South Africa that are spending a huge percentage of their GDP on education are failing to meet these minimal targets.
Clearly in education, money is not enough. It matters what actually happens inside a school.

“Grief demands our vulnerability. It asks our hearts to soften their stony exteriors and allow ourselves to be undone by loss. To really feel the impact of our love. Grief is the agreement we make when we open our hearts wide to another person or being.”
We are not taught about the gifts of darkness and descent in a culture that worships light and productivity. But the mystical tradition teaches us that these are seasons of life to be trusted.
Grief can open up unexpected pathways to God
This winter, learn to relish the dark and cold—they remind us that mystery pulses through all of creation, even in seasons of grief.

The moon will appear about 8% larger than a normal full moon and 15% brighter than a normal full moon.
The next one won't be until January 2037. Keep any eye out tonight!
