See Dying of Whiteness. It's hard for a rational person to understand, admittedly. However, while this isn't rational, it's sadly real.

Folks in Maine and Alaska: please call Collins and Murkowski to oppose the confirmation of Casey Means for Surgeon General. They are apparently still on the fence and MAHA is pushing them hard to vote in favor.

As m'lady says, it'd be great if he took his $$ and used them to buy some media properties to amplify progressive messages instead of perpetually running (and losing, and confounding true candidate potentials). He could do much more for the cause!

Fantasizing about transfer

One of the perennial issues that hangs over designing learning experiences is that of fantasy. That is, we set examples and practice in contexts. Most of the time, to be fair, those contexts can and should be real. But there are times when fantasy may be beneficial (as…

Don’t let Fox get away with it this time. Spread the word.

Fox & Friends Weekend replaced footage of Trump attending yesterday’s dignified transfer with a clip from 2025.

They clearly didn’t want their audience to see him disrespecting fallen soldiers wearing a baseball cap.

Defying fracticality

Ok, so I'm playing fast and loose; 'fracticality' isn't a word. Yet, the world is fractal, in the sense that everything unpacks. We also have to make decisions about what to do, without having time, nor inclination, to go to depths that aren't relevant. How do we strike that…

My technology for performance

I've talked in the past about my tools for learning, as Jane Hart's survey prompts. Yet, Christy Tucker asks about software stacks (for consulting), and I realize there's a different answer when I'm talking about doing versus learning. Yes, as Harold Jarche says,…

It’s no longer AI!

There's been a persistent belief in artificial intelligence (AI) practitioners that kind of explains the ongoing development. The mantra is "if we can understand it, it's no longer AI". This is relevant to what we're seeing today, in important ways. So let's unpack that. The…

Timing matters

There are many phenomena associated with time. I know it was such a topic of my late friend Jay Cross that he named his vehicle for agency Internet Time. A few phenomena have arisen in my thinking, and it's time to just review some of the reasons why timing matters. So, for one,…

Standing up…

...and I won't back down. Ok, so this is a little off my usual thread, but it does have some learning in it. What I'm talking about is using your attention and your money as a way to express your values. It's what I'm increasingly doing, and there're lessons in it. So let's talk about…

And, yet, banks insist on insurance as a prerequisite for a mortgage loan. Catch 22?

Ideas we could do without

Saw a post on LinkedIn from a colleague, ranting about how we are regularly putting old wine in new bottles. I do believe we're getting deeper into design and strategy, but I also agree. Similarly, I've seen a regular feature on a newsletter talking about terms we can do…

Gen AI seems to me a lot like "we stole everyone's content, please use irresponsibly so we make money".

It's STFU Friday.

I will not vote to give ICE a single penny under its corrupt leadership. ICE is making our communities less safe and when the Homeland Security appropriations bill, which contains ICE funding, comes to the Floor in the coming days, I will be a strong NO vote.

A celebration of the tablet

OK, so I've been around for a few turns around the sun. And, I've seen a fair bit of change, in technology in particular. My first job out of college was programming these new-fangled 'personal computers'. This came after holding down jobs programming mainframes…

My senator (he says, proudly)

Dear Free World: please boycott the World Cup matches here in the U.S.

This is now a rogue, extra-legal, xenophobic, unreliable, gratuitously violent, militaristic anti-foreigner government.

Stay safe.

If it’s Thursday…

...it must be Belgium. Ok, so there're two things here. First, on Thursday, Feb 26, in Brussels specifically, I'll be there. Why? I'll be spending a full day workshopping practical learning science. In conjunction, I should note with my LDA Co-Director, Matthew Richter. And,…
