Hey #BBN! 👀🏀

Can we get to 10K followers before The Basketball Tournament tips off, as we take on The Ville Saturday, July 18th at Memorial Coliseum?

If you can like, retweet, and share this account with other fans, it would mean a lot and helps us grow the community! 😼🔥

VICTORY, KENTUCKY!!!!!!

@aseitzwald Absolutely loved it!

@DemocraticWins Love my governor but this is inaccurate. Funding 2 of 120 counties doesn’t get us close to universal pre-k.

@laimee76 Take care of yourself, Aimee!

I feel so sorry for any elderly person who struggles with online admin / isn’t online and doesn’t have a support network to help with online admin. Almost everything is online or automated now. And for those who aren’t online (in particular the elderly), they are marginalised.

Can we all agree that in a world of influencers, Z-listers, TikToks, badly acted ads, brand collabs, people filming themselves crying…the Artemis livestream of 4 middle-aged scientists doing their jobs is genuinely the best most authentic content of the century? Thanks @NASA🌚

Emperor penguins are now classified as an endangered species as climate change continues to reduce the Antarctic sea ice the birds rely on to survive, according to an updated global assessment released Thursday. https://t.co/8fRngJvvEp

@ThrillaRilla369 Maybe try your public library.

A student today at my elite university admitted to me today that she took a class so she could work on reading for more than 20 minutes at a time. She can't read. She mainly skims and summarizes, she says and still gets A's.

This student is, by professional standards, illiterate. Gonna have high GPA when she graduates.

This conversation was had after 6 of 22 students dropped my course because the maximum reading per week in one week was over 100 pages.

What people aren't grasping is that this is literally *dangerous*. These people are going to be come doctors, engineers, etc. They are - by any metric - vastly less capable than prior generations. These effects are cumulative over a lifetime.

This grade inflation is part of the problem, but not even close to the entirety. And the problem obviously starts in K-12.

Students don't know history because, you can't actually become historically literate on the advice of 'never assign more than 30 pages a week'. You can't develop any of the skills that came with literacy. This is, quite honestly, a civilizational catastrophe.

We see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere. That's us, together, watching as our astronauts make their journey to the Moon.

@thehicklife I can no longer watch them live.
