I get way people can feel voting is pointless but if that were really true they wouldn’t be doing all that they are to strip people of their right to vote and rig future elections.

56 years ago these 2 kids got married in a small Alabama church. 11 years later they added a baby girl to their family. Yup. Today I am celebrating the Establishment of "Team Thornton" in 1969. And my 45th spin around the globe

And as a Bama fan, I am ambivalent on what happens (if they get in, cool I guess, if not...meh, them's the breaks) but it is VERY strange to me to see THAT is what is people are talking about. Little to no congratulations to Georgia. When they probably should be ranked number 1.

The dominating discussion regarding college football on threads right now is not Georgia's win and how it was executed with surgical precision, but will Bama's 3rd loss boot them.

When the narrative is that you can't beat a team, it is inevitable that said team when they get you, take you to pound town in the process. Still Roll Tide anyway

My new blog breaks down how NCLB, PBIS, and low expectations have weakened students’ intrinsic motivation—and why teachers can’t be blamed for the effort students don’t give. What are your thoughts? #edusky #blackedusky

This is what I'm hearing from friends in academia. It runs right across disciplines, from the creative over towards maths & science-focused courses.
Social media and AI, plus the interrupted development of the pandemic era, has made students blank and unable to engage.
The kids aren't alright.

An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

And I swear, once again, this is not dunking on kids. We are seeing this at all levels--even grad students. AI + social media has had a profound impact on how we think and process our world, and we can't stop to reflect on it, because billionaires keep hurling addictive tech at us.

Your education cannot be social media. If you're not reading, you're not learning. Podcasts can be educational when they have scholars, authors, etc who actually have expertise on a topic. Reading is essential. When Kendrick said "turn the TV off" it was more than a metaphor.

Because WHY is there a raging debate there on what age group can like a particular musical artist?

As I'm listening to "A Very Backstreet Christmas" (because Holiday season), I would have added 2 songs to just complete it fully but under 1 caveat:
Mary Did You Know and O Come O Come Emmanuel- But with Brian's old voice. Mary Did you Know was perfect for his range back then.
