So it took a visionary like @chrislehmann to start the #schoolshouldsuckless hashtag. Let's get it some legs. Because, well, it SHOULD.

@wmchamberlain I put to you that schools are prejudiced against kids that don't fit the schoolie mold. We debase their value accordingly



Society is prejudiced against people who do not fit the mold. A school is a reflection of that. @wmchamberlain



have always taught my students to think for themselves. They are to study multiple views on a given topic, then take their own position and support it with evidence. “That is the old way of writing,” my Common Core handler sighed. “We want students to repeat the opinions of the ‘experts’ that we expose them to on the test. This is the ‘new’ way of writing with the Common Core.”


No #hashtag will ever "fix everything." They can & do raise awareness & draw attention to issues & events. @zeynep: https://t.co/bWt6vBwrqs

There are cases where intervention is appropriate, and there are cases in which external actors can best help by not doing any visible acts of help. But in many cases, the foreign intervention is exactly what allows these groups to recast themselves as defenders against external aggression.
The real problem is not the desire to intervene but that we have no reasonable levers of intervention: no neutral, well-equipped peacekeepers, no functioning international system dedicated to human rights and welfare rather than big power games and jostling for resources; not even an international justice system that actually works to also indict the powerful rather than just the losers and two-bit African warlords.


@digiphile @zeynep You both should read this by Dr. Ben Scott if you have not already done so - weeklywonk.newamerica.net/articles/whyha…

Poet, author and humanitarian Maya Angelou has passed. She was 86.
Her last tweet, sent May 23, spoke volumes about her life and the inspiration we all were given by her.

Drivers aren't what needed to be "disrupted," it's driving itself. The fact our cities are unwalkable & public transit stinks.
