TSA Cuts Hundreds of Jobs as Trump Moves Rile Federal Staff (1) The Transportation Security Administration this week terminated 243 employees as President Donald Trump moves to slash the size of the federal workforce, according to an agency official.

Trump owns every long airport line now. Shame. news.bgov.com/bloomberg-go...

I'm a constituent. We are a nation of laws. And we bow to no kings. You are embarrassing yourself and our state.

No run today, but I did spend pretty much the whole thing on my feet (and I ran the Rocky steps twice at the end), and I'm feeling all right.

So hopefully we'll be good to go for this marathon.

Colleges, K-12 schools ordered by Trump administration to abolish DEI or face funding cuts Schools are on alert after the Department of Education said it would cut federal funding unless they abolished diversity, equity and inclusion programs, potentially including culturally themed campus ...

The letter, Polikoff said, went β€œfar beyond” the Harvard affirmation action case ruling. β€œBut if it gets universities to change policies out of fear, they can accomplish a lot even if the argument of the dear colleague letter doesn’t hold water.” www.latimes.com/california/s...

The back is definitely way better today. Figured I'd test it on the elliptical before on the run. Went wellβ€”hopefully it was just random back pain that goes away all by itself?

I'm not saying AI isn't the future but it is notable that the biggest promoters are weird, cultish trolls and zealots who sound EXACTLY like NFT evangelists from a few years ago. Again I'm not saying it's snake oil, I'm saying they have lots of snake oil salesmen in their ranks.

This is not about running. And this is about running.

Thank you for saying this.

We’re either a nation of laws or we’re not. And if you don’t believe we’re a nation of laws then you hate everything this country is supposed to stand for. Period. You can use the excuse that you’re just greedy or just racist or just stupid. But the truth is that you hate what the American ideal is.

Hmm … this back pain preventing me from ::checks notes:: walking could pose a problem for completing a marathon next week.

Guess we'll have to see!

Well-meaning people often say that bureaucrats could make a more money in the private sector but they do government service out of love for the work. That's only sort of true. Many could get a higher salary. But they would have a hard time matching the benefits, especially the pension.

Research: Learning Recovery Has Stalled, Despite Billions in Pandemic Aid One researcher likened the effects to the β€˜tsunami following the earthquake,’ with just 6 percent of districts recovered in both math and reading.

In @the74.bsky.social I argue that we can't accept current academic outcomes as the "new normal" and that if I'd "been told in 2020 that children would still be scuffling to this extent by the middle of the decade," I "would have been shocked and disappointed."

Disparities in Educational Access in the Time of COVID: Evidence From a Nationally Representative Panel of American Families - Shira K. Haderlein, Anna Rosefsky Saavedra, Morgan S. Polikoff, Daniel Si... We use data collected between April 2020 and March 2021 from the Understanding America Survey, a nationally representative internet panel of approximately 1,450...

Yesss one of my grants is on Ted Cruz's stupid woke grants list. It was our 2022 NSF RAPID to understand the impact of COVID on American households. We did in fact find racial differences in families' educational experiences during COVID. 😘 journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

Oh 100% she’s more dominant. The thing that fascinates me about Jakob was he showed up and everyone else also leveled up. But definitely not straight up dominant.

Trump Admin. Suddenly Cancels Dozens of Education Department Contracts The Trump administration abruptly terminated dozens of contracts financed by the research arm of the U.S. Department of Education.

We had been told that DOGE's cuts to ED did *not* include the regional education laboratories (e.g., www.edweek.org/policy-polit...), but I have just been told by a trusted anonymous source that employees of REL Pacific were told their contract has been canceled.

I think the difference between Biles and him is that she was so much better than everyone else, just in another league, where Jakob's competitors keep upping their games to meet his level, at least in the 1500.

I don't really root for him, but Jakob has taken the sport to another level in a way I'm not sure I've ever seen anyone else, in any sport, achieve.

Musk seems to lie about almost everything; why would we trust what he’s saying DOGE is cutting? Good sleuthing here from @chadaldeman.bsky.social

All this federal government stuff produced some extra work for me, and I didn't get out for a run because of it. And that sucks.

Great question. Even though it doesn't make any sense, I think of him more as a Cardinal.

(I think this is a case where the HOF would respect the player's preference, and I imagine he'd pick Cardinal.)
