Look folks, say whatever you want about conferences. But I just met someone I’ve been internet friends with for like a decade in person for the first time and it was awesome.

It was me! Just saying that I snagged a copy of Adequate and am super stoked to check it out. Looks like it very much aligns with a lot of things that I'm interested in / working on.
Kofi was sooooo good!
Most certainly
Oh heck yeah, thanks Will!
All right Cleveland friends and #4C26 folks: where’s a good spot for lunch near the convention center?
Racist grandpa decomposing in real time for all to see
There, fixed it
Heck yeah, the booze store down the street from my house has the Beat!
That was right around the time when I desperately needed a book about hope, so thanks.
The launch of every piece of AI-driven surveillance/security/criminal justice software basically goes like this:
AI COMPANY: this is an error free, bias free, state of the art, highly intelligent software system
Two Weeks Later: …aaaand it’s racist
in a properly ordered world this excellent and very funny @edburmila.bsky.social review of the Gavin Newsom memoir would also function as a campaign post-mortem

I've got a Series X, which I adore and plan to keep playing until the next major generation of hardware, but I think this has me sold on jumping to a Steam Machine or building a PC that can sit hooked up to my game room TV.
Oh dang. Yep, I'm out.
Shame, Xbox has been my gaming home for the last 20 years and I've been a huge fan of the platform that whole time.
A whole bunch of people who were not thinking about abolition at all in 2020 are not just thinking about it, they're actually practicing, they're actually working, they're actually raising people in the world with new ideas and ways of being."

Starting to get really stoked about CCCC in a couple of weeks! I'll be presenting at 2:00p on Friday (my first time presenting at 4Cs, and my first major conference presentation in over a decade). Session details: s1.goeshow.com/ncte/cccc/20...
the analogy I use with friends and family all the time is the jump from collegiate to professional sports. as soon as I explain it that way, it clicks in their brains what the academic job market is like.
Our rallying cry for public education and public libraries:
“Free, life-changing, and available to everyone.”

That professional wrestler sure put on a heck of a halftime show
Anyone have recommendations for good spots to grab a bite to eat in Cleveland? I'm starting to put together a plan for #4C26 and am starting with food.
Also, if any mutuals wants to hang out, I'd love to do that!
Brody King absolutely rules for lots of reasons. AEW fans supporting him with "Fuck ICE" chants is just the latest one.
Thanks, friend!
Celebrated my 38th birthday this weekend. Happy to still be here for another trip 'round the sun.
I really want to carry my copy of this around and just point to it whenever anyone starts spouting nonsense about what AI can do for teaching and learning.
This is the dream
Abolition is the only way forward. Reform doesn’t work. Accountability doesn’t work. Training doesn’t work. Body cameras don’t work.
Tear it all down and build something better.
That’s so Ravens
Entire Ravens coaching staff needs to go. They were this close to the playoffs simply because they field a handful of generational / all-time greats on both sides of the ball.
