This is not a political post. It's about loss of basic human decency and truth. Last night there was a tragic mid-air collision. Just hours later, Elon Musk said it was not an accident, and Trump said it was caused by a policy he doesn't agree with. Beyond disgusting.

A letter from the Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Texas.

“I never thought I would live in a time when the United States government would censure a bishop, jeopardize religious free speech, or threaten to take people while they attend worship.” ⚓️

Yup, @jamellebouie.net has this exactly right. What these guys are celebrating/pursuing/yearning for is not masculine energy, it's *adolescent* energy. Drinking Red Bull, crushing Call of Duty, refusing to clean your room. It is indescribably pathetic. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/18/o...

New randomized, controlled trial by the World Bank of students using GPT-4 as a tutor in Nigeria. Six weeks of after-school AI tutoring = 2 years of typical learning gains, outperforming 80% of other educational interventions.

And it helped all students, especially girls who were initially behind.
