Wouldn’t it be great for America if a block of Republicans and Democrats work together to pick a Speaker to run a coalition-style government? A coalition allows the House to create policy from the middle out rather than the extremes in.

IT IS 2023 AND I AM ADMITTING THAT I HAVE NO INTENTION OF READING EVERY BOOK I BUY. I LIKE COLLECTING THEM. I LIKE HAVING LOTS OF THEM AROUND. I LIKE BEING SURROUNDED BY STORIES AND POSSIBILITIES. I WANT A LIBRARY. I AM NOT A BOOK MINIMALIST LEAVE ME ALONE (WITH MY BOOKS).

One of the best accounts on this site! Makes me laugh every time! I live for moments such as this in my daily life!

A company asked why it was so hard to hire a good writer. I told them it was because good writing is an illusion: what people call good writing is actually good thinking, and of course good thinkers are rare.

Nazi ideology proclaimed that Germany and the world had to be cleared of Jews.

@DEvanAltman Thank you for sharing insights and joys this year. Between Cubs' stuff, youth baseball, or kids & cats, always something good. Happy Thanksgiving!

If this is my last Tweet, it’s a good way to end. We share our time here with all beings. And it is and only through love that we may survive and thrive.

There was a baby chimp born at The Sedgwick County Zoo, the baby had to be put on oxygen for a few days. This is a clip of it being reintroduced to its mother for the first time.

If schools don’t sweat the small stuff — litter, noise in hallways, tardies — it provides permission for bigger stuff.

1/ Just want to put this news in plain language for people.

Senior people at Twitter have resigned in the last 48 hours. We now now why. They said in private Slack channels that @elonmusk is so desperate to recoup his money, he’s taking crazy risks with YOUR privacy and safety.

A note about averaging grades when 0s are present:

If a student receives one 0, they must then get 85% on 16 subsequent assignments before their grade will reach a B.

Another example: if a student gets 95% 33 times but has two 0s, they'd only get an A if you round up.

If you, as a teacher, refuse to call a trans child their preferred name, you better be using full government for every other kid in the room and not a single nickname ever.

Ok folks. It’s time we talked about eels.

I’m a geologist but I recently learnt about eels and… wow.

Since then, I’ve been greeting strangers with ‘DO YOU KNOW ABOUT EELS?!’

Well, consider yourself a stranger in my path.

Strap in. It’s a 🧵

Love this idea for last-minute editing in class!

[Arvind Narayanan @random_walker]

15 years ago my PhD advisor taught me One Weird Trick for editing your own writing. Edit **back to front**, paragraph by paragraph. I still use it and it still surprises me how well it works. When I get my students to do it, it often blows their minds. Try it!
