This report summarizes well how EdTech is both succeeding and failing now, when it’s needed most. linkedin.com/posts/newschool…

The fires across the West Coast are just the latest examples of the very real ways our changing climate is changing our communities. Protecting our planet is on the ballot. Vote like your life depends on it—because it does.

in summation—
Trump is a genius but you can't see his grades
Trump is healthy but you can't see his medical reports
Trump is rich but you can't see his tax returns
Trump is honest but you can't see the documents
Trump is innocent but you can't subpoena the witnesses

gee, too bad i had to give that videoed witness testimony for the senate trial in the clinton impeachment. (i mean, talk about unflattering lighting and having a bad hair day.)

Every Sen who votes against witnesses is telling @realDonaldTrump that he can do whatever he wants, including bribe foreign leaders to help him win an election.What a sad day for the @GOP .What an even sadder day for America.

I'd like for one of the leading Democratic candidates to announce they are receiving $500M from China and will be incorporating Chinese recommended policies into their platform. Just to see how Republicans and Fox News respond. @PeteButtigieg @JoeBiden @Warren @BernieSanders
Wrong is now right. Or at least okay. Republican Senate stance is essentially "Yes, we conceed, he committed a crime. But we've changed our minds. It's no longer a crime. And covering it up, that's not a crime either." nymag.com/intelligencer/2020…

Trump’s Space Force troops wearing camo in space is perhaps the strongest evidence yet that Idiocracy is a documentary – at Washington, DC
The first #SpaceForce utility uniform nametapes have touched down in the
Pentagon.

So the Trump Administration wants to make school lunches less healthy? It’s almost like a concerted effort to take on the persona of a comic book villain.
This Sesame Street Star Wars parody is pure genius. youtube.com/watch?v=j-LfQCPJ…
So nice to see this little interview with Gilbert Strang, who taught Linear Algebra at MIT. John Maeda once called him the Fred Astaire of mathematics. youtube.com/watch?v=7UJ4CFRG…

The algorithm mimics natural selection by generating potential solutions then repeatedly picking and mutating the most promising ones. Eventually it designed these cute little things. bit.ly/35NgxNz

It's hard to say if neuroscience and AI will ultimately lead to the same place in terms of structures and processes, though things seem to be heading in that direction. This article hints at that future.

With each week, I feel certain we have reached the nadir, and with each week, I am sadly proven wrong.

Glad you asked: You broke the law in front of us after your staff released a summary of you breaking the law and then your handpicked COS & ambassador confirmed you broke the law. You withheld vital military aid to get a US ally to sabotaged your political rival.
See why now?
Unfortunately this article on EdTech in @techreview is shortsighted for a variety of reasons, the most glaring being the lack of insight on the effects of standardized testing. technologyreview.com/s/61489…
