“Some People Need Killing” by Patricia Evangelista offers a harrowing, unflinching look at the rise and terrible traumatic consequences of autocratic populist politics in The Philippines. https://t.co/QpBohq1MYI

@TransLink What is going on with the timing of the #33 UBC? The schedule has become inconsistent and unreliable in the last 3 weeks for scheduled departures during morning rush hour. Today three buses were bunched up and a huge crowd had to wait for 30 mins.

@phillipdawson A large minority?

Act with intention and towards your values.

There's no such thing as an ideal daily routine. The best model is the one that works for you.

Successful people don't keep similar schedules. Their common practice is experimenting to learn what suits them.

Don't be a slave to others' habits. One size doesn't fit all minds.

The absurd “Daddy Cop” comedic pre-title sequence on Season 6 Ep. 02 of “The Rookie” is hilarious.

I’ve always known that Jonathan Franzen is a great fiction writer, but listening to “The End of the End of the Earth: Essays” persuaded me he is an equally entertaining essayist.

How might a linguist can explain this sequence?

I can’t stop thinking about this…

Craving stimulation and bored of blowhard podcasts,? ⅘ of podcast listeners listen to seven hours of podcasts a week. That a lot of off-the-cuff banter and advice. How to get more value out of leisure listening? Here’s a strategy enabled me to read more:

@Gaugustine Take care! Sometimes one value (being a good parent and supportive partner) can trump another (being an good scholar). What is your most valued scholarly project and how can you keep chipping away at it, however mindlessly? Who can help you shed non-essential tasks at work?

Listening to each other attentively is a good starting point for the co-development of student & teacher feedback literacy

[David Rubeli @drubeli]

@derekbruff This is very sensible advice.

[David Rubeli @drubeli]

@derekbruff The term might have migrated over from instructional design in industry (aka learning and development). You are right that we need to be clear about and distinguish roles. I distinguish between course author, content expert, instructor, and faculty member.

What is the function of the teacher in the age of mechanical instruction (...with apologies to Walter Benjamin)?

@thatroblennon Hoping that message will hit my inbox but ConvertKit hasn't sent its confirmation message to my email after 48hrs of waiting. I am close to joining the Reactor, Rob.

@ervinmalakaj Curious to hear more when time permits. I hope you are able to enjoy some well-deserved time off over the holiday break!

[David Rubeli @drubeli]

@ervinmalakaj Here is example of how this kind of assignment is being tackled in other disciplines :https://t.co/ZabuIAeqkU. And this article give an education nerdy overview: https://t.co/BfW59u8JrF. Curious to know how it goes for you and your students.

[David Rubeli @drubeli]

@ervinmalakaj Intriguing. What do you mean by "podcasts as a mode of assessment", Ervin? Will students be creating the audio?

[David Rubeli @drubeli]

As usual Adam Grant is pointing out a simple change that can make a huge positive difference.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Back-to-back meetings drain our brains. We need downtime in between to recover.

New research: even 10-minute breaks between meetings are enough to reduce stress, improve focus, and boost engagement.

Instead of defaulting to 30/60min meetings, we should schedule 20/50min blocks.

[David Rubeli @drubeli]

A dilemma: Should we engage with the work of scholars and artists whose reputations have been discredited (e.g. charged with or convicted of a serious violent crime?). Should we overlook personal failure unrelated to the work? Should we address our misgivings?

[David Rubeli @drubeli]

Listening to Jacob Collier's new album of live piano ballads is like listening to Keith Jarrett interpret standards but with Nina Simone or Kurt Elling scatting at the same time with the audience and droning backing choir periodically interjecting. Co-creative performance art.
