SLAVA UKRAINI! - russiаns are tаkіng our lіvеs for these words. Our colors make their black sоuls afrаid. Freedom is just a word for them, and for us it is the air without which we cannot live!

How extremists ‘won by losing’ - Bircher Robert Welch was infamous for his claim that Eisenhower was a “conscious, dedicated agent of the communist conspiracy.” Now he seems normal in the modern GOP. https://inschoolmatters.wordpress.com/2023/06/26/how-extremists-won-by-losing/ #conspiracytheories

@Huntn00
Not all of our power can be provided by solar panels on rooftops and covering parking lots so there will have to be companies producing power from wind turbines and such too despite my earlier reply, but there is plenty of that so I don't see any need to subsidize the nuclear energy industry.

I would much rather focus on deploying the technologies that are now available in order to more quickly decarbonize.

@Huntn00
I am a much bigger fan of producing power close to where it will be used instead of propping up big corporations so that they can profit off of people providing essential products personally.

Tuberville praises $1.4 billion for broadband he voted against: Alabama GOP will ‘damn sure take credit,’ Doug Jones says - al.com https://www.al.com/news/2023/06/tuberville-praises-14-billion-for-broadband-he-voted-against-alabama-gop-will-damn-sure-take-credit-doug-jones-says.html

Two of our "dependable" nuclear energy plants are not producing any electricity. Thank goodness the sun is shining, the wind is blowing, and electricity can be stored chemically in batteries though so we'll be okay. https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/event-status/reactor-status/ps.html

One of my continuing and growing concerns about climate financial risk is that no one has the authority to monitor economy-wide financial risk. I spoke with Chairman Powell about this last week (at the 2:37 mark). Short thread. https://www.c-span.org/video/?528798-1/monetary-policy-the-economy

12. Under current law, that may be right. So let's change the laws. But when you're driving down the highway and see a car coming towards you, the responsible thing to do is to swerve - not to argue that you aren't allowed to drive in the other lane. /fin

Kinda odd that Yevgeniy Prigozhin was the subject of days of wall-to-wall press coverage and while I there were some references to his involvement in the Internet Research Agency, I didn't see any mention of the fact that he's under a felony indictment in the US for conspiring to get #Trump elected.

It appears that #SCOTUS is not yet a complete tool of ultra right, GOP States Rights crowd.

If you remember the Civil War was fought in the South’s perspective not in the name of pro-slavery, but in the name of State’s Rights, the “right to be bad if we want to”. 🙄 The same thinking that insisted on segregation, and today, hostility towards The Voters Rights Act throwing up multiple roadblocks in the way of convienent voting.

Laurillard (2012, p. 222) on teachers and tools. I agree with the sentiment, can't think of many examples from #highered

"...tools have provided the major engine of human development, because they improve the efficiency of human effort (Wolpert 2003). Teachers, as much as any other profession, need custom-built digital tools to help them with their ever more complex working environment. They deserve better support from digital technology."

Alabama "public officials don’t want public records to be made public because then they might be held accountable. That’s so obvious, everyone can see it. https://www.al.com/news/2023/06/whitmire-kay-ivey-keeps-public-records-secret-leaves-kids-locked-in-seclusion.html
