Featured story: "The conservative campaign to harass the libs out of academia has already sent a chill through #Texas’ world-class public universities, making professors and administrators so fearful of setting off the lunatics in charge at the Capitol that they censor themselves—in scholarship or in their communications with students and the public."

McCarthyism Rides Again at Texas Universities

A&M’s shameful treatment of Kathleen McElroy is the start of a backward-turning era for higher education.

The quote from below article stopped me dead in my tracks. Reminds me of way too many bio education initiatives I've been naively involved in (if your long-term outreach/education program does not involve professional teachers, it's time to reassess) https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/gates-foundation-takes-up-question-of-its-own-power/

A neat "book" i came across courtesy of @itsfoss.
"Putting the 'YOU' in CPU" explains how a CPU works, how computers run programs, and the basics of these wonderful devices that have taken over our life, in simple (ish) terms.

For anyone that wants to know HOW computers do what they do, this is a great place to start, and it's free, readable on the website, on GitHub, or as a downloaded PDF.

I adore this comic by @elisegravel.

“ the shooting [of a 1st grade teacher] was “a workplace injury” & “hazard of the job.”

What sort of school organisation/state/county can say such rubbish.

Insanity doesn’t begin to describe it.

The right's cries for "ideological diversity" sound fair to well-meaning people who believe in good-faith debate as a way to arrive at the truth. But truth is not the goal here; the goal is power.
