Over a lifetime of collecting Black art, the principle Reggie Van Lee adheres to — surround himself with art he adores — has had little to do with material value. It has been an approach that has served him well. https://t.co/Vro3s9qCMT

We don't know whether it was smartphones/social-media or edtech that was the bigger contributor to the decline in education outcomes that began in the 2010s. But new revelations show the tricks Meta, Snap, and Tiktok used to lure students during the school day.
Still more reasons to be technoskeptical

As we bask in yet another MAPS groundbreaking, it is worth noting that since 1993, our voters have passed 15 tax initiatives to fund capital projects, totaling nearly $10 billion (not even adjusted for inflation).
That commitment has led to hundreds of groundbreakings and ribbon-cuttings, and the total reimagining of an American city. As a result, Oklahoma City has soared to the global stage.
