It makes sense that this inverted roller coaster is named after Montu, the war god manifestation of the sun's scorching effect. Montu is full of positive Gs, especially on that batwing element.

There's nothing like a ride on Iron Gwazi, Busch Gardens' 206 ft tall masterpiece.

The Haunted Mansion is a fun classic Disney ride. The disembodied Madame Leota summoning the mansions spirits is always a great moment on this ride.

Re: media literacy

I've seen a few posts on Bluesky suggesting that history and civics coursework in their high school classes helped them become media literate. The objectives for these courses can be helpful but are often too "global" to cover all bases:

No conference grants for our diplomatic corps nor any cures for malaria, but somehow there is 400 million just lying around for this corruption.

An example of the work USAID has done. I encourage you to ask yourself who it benefits to get rid of this agency.

Destructive weather events are awful enough without falsehoods fanning the flames. As the Los Angeles fires continue to burn, here are some basic tips to avoid spreading misinformation ⤵️

Reported this scam targeting those affected by the CA fires to Facebook moderators. Of course, it wasn't removed. They rarely removed these posts previously. Facebook is filled to the brim with scam bots and low quality content. This is encouraging rational people to seek alternatives.

Science of Reading in Bilingual Education is now on BlueSky. We have always been dedicated to science and fact-driven discussion. Since Meta and Twitter have forgone fact-checking and allow the spread of pseudoscience to go unchecked, we will have a presence here as well.
