Truly, this site is a global public square where the important questions are being asked. 🙄

What is the last name of the person now actually running the Executive Branch of the United States of America?

“So few in Iowa’s establishment connect the dots between the loss of our young people, the depopulation of rural Iowa, and the Big Ag rampage on Iowa’s human and natural resources.” https://t.co/haCDALxwq3

The odds of your child getting kidnapped are about 1 in a million.

The odds of a person born in 2021 dying in a traffic crash are about 1 in 93.

American parents act like these stats are reversed. They're paranoid about the rare kidnapping but naive about the common drive.

We are DIVING into this season with kickoff for the @West_Branch_CSD @firstlegoleague season SUBMERGED. We are supporting 4 teams this year with 34 4th-8th grade students. It's going to be a great year of @FIRSTweets robotics here in West Branch.

@physicsramble I was just there last summer!

Everyone has a place on 5041.

We are a place to build.
We are a place to grow.
We are a place to be you.

[Matt Cain @SkepticalWonder]

All kinds of awesome preseason work from @5041CyBears this year! We have the resource and training for a swerve drive for the 1st time ever and it's going to make for an awesome robot design this year.

[Matt Cain @SkepticalWonder]

This year's Safety Animation Award submission for @5041CyBears is AWESOME! Good work members Katey Lenoch and Keaton Norfleet!

It is unconscionable this is happening in our state. We use to be an exemplar of education and literacy. Now we are literally banning books.

[Zachary Oren Smith @ZacharyOS]

BOOKS REMOVED IN IC SCHOOLS - A parent passed me a list of books Iowa City Schools removed this week.

“Although these titles were previously on our shelves, they now require removal to meet the State's new legal standards.”

"We're excited to give them more opportunities to prepare them for life after high school." Check out this new video and join us on Wednesday from 5-7 pm for an Open House!

@lexfridman @xai I often wonder where consciousness starts, as we progress from one cell to ~35 trillion cells.

If the Standard Model is correct, then quarks & leptons become “conscious” no later than ~13.8B years from start, assuming there are no sentient aliens.

Btw, where are the aliens!?
