Broncos 22, Chiefs 19 — FINAL

Denver has the AFC West on lockdown. Bo Nix & the offense did it again in the clutch. The defense smothered KC for a 3-and-out to set up the game-winning drive. All three phases made big plays. The winning streak is 8. Super Bowl dreams are real.

As someone who works at an open-enrollment community college, I have some pretty strong feelings about this one — and @mtsw.bsky.social is absolutely right.

Accommodations have improved the lives of so many students — of so many people!
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)

Finished Cameron Crowe’s *The Uncool* today.

You know how sometimes when you finish a good book, you’re just sad because you know you’re going to miss reading it?

For me, that *The Uncool* was one of those books.
