AI is a huge help with alt text. I used to procrastinate sharing slide decks full of screenshots, but with the Mac ChatGPT app, it's quick to make those accessible. Reviewing and correcting the alt text is key at times--we shouldn't assume it's fine--but often it doesn't need…
Bookshops don’t just exist so you can buy the books you want. They also exist so you can browse around and discover the books you did not know you needed.
A word Americans should know now more than ever: Kakistocracy- a government run by the worst, least qualified, or most unscrupulous citizens. Yes, there’s a word for it.
Why pulling the plug on pending prosecutions in advance is wrong
"These cases should go on until the plug is pulled by Trump so he has to take the hit of stopping the prosecutions against him. To cave in advance because of some policy, when these cases against anybody else would proceed to judgment, is abdication of the worst kind." -@tribelaw
Let me tell you a secret about how you, as one, individual person, can have an impact on your Republican Senator or Representative. 1️⃣ You’re going to call, email and write to that person at their national and district office. You’re going use your own words. No more than one…
The Pygmalion Effect: When you believe in another’s potential, they rise to meet your expectations. This effect is so powerful that researchers found just 19 words can unlock it: Video credit: Adam Grant

I would love to tell you about the times vaccines prevented me from getting sick, but every time it happens, I don’t notice. I just keep feeling well. Neither do you. Public health, when it’s working, is invisible.
Thank you for spreading the word about my PRESS Act on @LastWeekTonight, @iamjohnoliver! You're right—it would protect the confidentiality of journalists' sources and fortify press freedom. The House passed it unanimously—Senate, you're up!
“Totalitarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty.” - Hannah Arendt in “The Origins of Totalitarianism”
Dems have the Senate majority for the next 60-plus days. Use it! Not just to confirm judges. Hold your own pre-confirmation hearings. Foreign Relations on Tulsi Gabbards ties to Russia. Intel Committee onJohn Ratliffe's misconduct on intelligence in Trump's first term. 1/
Never underestimate the power of a caring teacher.
The Gaetz nomination is so off-the-wall that I half believe he's sacrificial so Senate R's will gave an easier time confirming all the other questionable picks, having shown their independence by icing Gaetz.
Donald Trump announces Baron Harkonnen will head spice production on the planet of Arrakis
11.42% deduction for late work. After 29 years in the classroom, I finally arrived at the precisely proper punishment for late work. Methodology? Makeshitupitis. Made up policies for made up grading for made up education. “You’re being facetious.” Yes. Maybe we all…
