Your friendly reminder going into the weekend.
two still frames from the show The Good Place. In the first frame Janet is talking to Chidi and says “fun fact: Columbus is in the Bad Place”. The second frame Janet continues, saying “because of all the raping, slave trade, and genocide.”

The key to befriending crows. Feed them a breakfast that’s better than what you make for yourself:
A plate of food for the crows that includes scrambled egg, dog treats, salmon skin, birdseed, dog kibble and peanuts in the shell

Language teacher friends, I’m dead. My very own son thought that if he earns the “Seal of Biliteracy” they print a little tiny image of a seal on his diploma

Genuine question: for those enthusiastically pushing AI tools into every part of our education system—what checks/guardrails are there around algorithmic biases like this?

The administration “is currently pressuring OpenAI and other AI companies to make their models more conservative-friendly.”
OpenAI is trying to clamp down on ‘bias’ in ChatGPT
GPT-5 is better at resisting liberal ‘pressure,’ the company says.

I love the way Dr. Uju Anya frames her social media presence as public scholarship.

The insights you have shared on social media are valuable and have helped influence countless teachers
