Yeah, I don't think I have the energy or expertise to train a puppy

Exactly

And he is right

I trade Pat for Caleb Wilson every time, but we have NO frontcourt depth.

Dawn Staley absolutely owns Kim Mulkey and I love it. #cbb

Seriously, who doesn't want a women's Final Four with UConn, UCLA, and South Carolina?

Chalk Final Fours in the men's and women's tournaments would be awesome this year. The 3-5 top teams in each tournament are great and a notch above everyone else. #cbb

Right. Deion Sanders in football is a possible comp, but he wasn't a good enough receiver to compare.

Trump says it was Iran.
Hegseth said the only side that targets civilians is Iran.
Trump says Iran has no accuracy with their munitions.
So, which is it? Did they effectively target their own kids or are they inaccurate?

Was the World Baseball Classic always this much fun?

Ack, that's cute pup

I also have a cat who is afraid of her shadow and who might have a heart attack around a dog.

That would be the plan

I think my therapist thinks I should get a dog. I love dogs. I have never owned a dog. Doing some thinking and learning...

I really wish Hannah Hidalgo wasn't so good at basketball.

VCU is Joe Lunardi's last team out of the tournament right now. Needless to say, then, that tonight's game against Dayton is enormously important. #LetsGoVCU

Google Gemini output: 
Educational policy is one of the best areas for "historical debugging" because weโ€™ve been trying to solve the same problem for centuries: How do we prepare the next generation for a world that doesn't exist yet?

By looking at the past, we can see which "revolutionary" ideas actually worked and which were just expensive trends. Here are three major ways history informs modern schooling:

1. The "Factory Model" vs. The Future
Most modern schools are still based on the Prussian Model of the 18th and 19th centuries. It was designed to create obedient citizens and disciplined factory workers who could follow a bell schedule.

The Lesson: If our goal today is to foster creativity and tech-literacy, history shows us that using a system designed for the Industrial Revolution is like trying to run modern software on a steam engine. We can look at the Montessori or Progressive Education movements of the early 20th century to see how they tried to break this mold.

This is a really good example of how an LLM is only as good as its training data. Also, this is going to make @jennbinis.bsky.social stabby.
