Jesus, I love Bluesky. The replies here kick ass…
I’m always looking for things that explain a lot but that people have a hard time remembering.
Examples: Air is stuff. Pee comes from blood. All land vertebrates have a single common ancestor. Venus is bright enough to cast visible shadows. Clouds are heavy. Bones are alive.
Any others you know?

![Jared Cooney Horvath, a neuroscientist and education specialist, said “the modern hype” of generative AI had led edtech to “plug that word into every aspect of their products — even when, or especially when, it doesn’t belong”.
“Edtech companies are largely composed of engineers, businesspeople and economists,” he said. “Very rarely will you see a practising teacher or educator anywhere in the mix. Their failure to meaningfully impact education is [because] they do not understand the field they are trying to evolve.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hakzua5btcgcfjye2yujlhos/bafkreigcofkesrr4d6ssf7z3ypa6utow3ei7jqtfli2ncq5ncc7pff4mvi@jpeg)

Gracias a las vacunas, el virus de polio se controló en menos de 4 décadas a niveles muy cercanos a la erradicación. Sólo quedan algunos reductos en Pakistán y Afganistán. Podríamos ser la generación que lo termine del todo.

In the last four decades, the number of people who were paralyzed by polio was reduced by over 99%.
