Big News this morning : The George Washington statue near Fenway Park in Boston has been given the Highest Honour By the 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Scottish Fans. Someone has got up there God knows how and placed a traffic cone □on his heed. 😅🤣😂😂. This is a proud moment for 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Scotland. 👍🏻

Trump foolishly underestimated Ukraine’s capabilities, and his ability to influence Ukraine, Europe, and fascist Russia. He had no understanding of the dynamics of the war. He doesn’t understand international relations, and quickly becomes bored and frustrated when his bullying tactics fail.

O'BRIEN: Trump believed Ukraine had no cards, that he could bully Ukrainians into giving Putin very good deal. He didn't understand that Ukraine was developing their own capabilities and their willingness to fight. So, Trump failed for two reasons. First, Ukrainians adapted, and that wasn't expected by him. You can see there have been some changes in his rhetoric lately, where he has to grudgingly admit that Ukraine has actually done better. The United States completely underestimated Ukrainian resilience. Secondly, Trump thought Europeans would bully Ukraine along with him because they would be afraid of United States leaving NATO. He thought he could use NATO to push Europeans to force Ukraine to take a bad deal. Europeans eventually helped Ukraine more than he thought. They seem to understand that it's actually better for them to have Ukraine fight the war the way Ukraine wants. Trump didn't understand what Ukraine was capable of and he misjudged what Europeans would do.

This is seriously the cringiest collapse of a nation in real time.

One teaching standard or pedagogical skill that is almost intangible and uncoachable is the ability to read the room.

Ok, dass der Tweet so einschlägt, hätte ich nie gedacht. Aber es freut mich, dass @ukrainer_en jetzt einen Haufen neue Follower hat. Wir müssen ukrainische Accounts hier bekannter und größer machen. 🇺🇦💪

She would not have bombed Iran. She would not have illegally attacked Venezuela. She would not have destroyed the economy. She would not have pardoned criminals, drug traffickers, and traitors. She would not have supported Putin's Russia. She would not have slept in the Oval Office. She would not have an affected hand. She would not have cut the SNAP program. She would not have used the DOJ to attack her political enemies. She would not have given money to foreign countries. She would not have abandoned American farmers. She would not have prevented the release of the Epstein files. She would not have destroyed American democracy. She would not have trampled on the Constitution. She would not have abandoned the fundamental rights of citizens. She would not have deployed American soldiers against the American people. She would not have destroyed the White House. She would not have enriched her family through government influence. She would not have lied about her health records. She would not have played golf. She wouldn't have asked people to cheat in future elections. She wouldn't have said "Quiet piggy" to a female journalist. She wouldn't have invited Putin to Alaska. She wouldn't have appointed an administration of incompetents. She wouldn't have done everything Trump did.

There are two things you can do to get your kid ahead of the AI-is-coming-for-us-all-and-you-will-be-part-of-the-permanent-underclass-otherwise curve: 1. Familiarize your kids with AI models, coding, etc, as much as you can 2. Get them ahead in math. Having proof a kid can think logically, creatively, and can quickly deeply grasp complex systems will be literal game-changers for universities and employers. Timed math and logic tests are only going to get more popular, I imagine even for the humanities and humanities-based jobs. People want to know that kids aren't cheating their way into their institutions and companies. Being able to think well is going to be the most valuable it's ever been in the history of humanity. Make sure your kid is prepared.

Excellent. I think I'm going to seriously consider spending part of my vacation next year in a liberated russia-free Crimea. And I certainly hope to have the chance to go swimming with President @ZelenskyyUa and then enjoy a toast with some terrific Crimean wine! #CrimeaIsUkraine

I am 54 years old. I have been working since I was 15 years old. I have no savings, no retirement, and will never own a home before I die. But none of this is because of a man who blessed the world with amazing things. Sure, I made poor life choices. But that's on me. I'm not going to wahhhh over it. I'm just going to keep on working (I never intended to retire anyway) and help my kids achieve what I couldn't. Life's too good to boo hoo over spilled milk and be bitter about other people's success.

With complete lower air dominance over the occupied territories, there is now a real chance that Ukraine will take its territory back before the end of the year. I suspect they leave the Kerch bridge intact to give the occupiers and civilian Russian opportunists an escape route. Better to not have to deal with them once the territories have been recaptured.

Just sold a copy of the Iliad to a 10 year old who wants to try Homer. She's read 5 Percy Jackson books and wants "the originals" now. Kudos to her and to her mom who brought her down to the bookshop.

This week @CarrickGrammar received a gift from the man who has inspired our journey with a knowledge-rich curriculum over the past 5 years. A curriculum which is now helping us to break glass ceilings for our pupils, expedite social mobility and enhance life chances. Thank you @DTWillingham .

I droni ucraini hanno attaccato il più grande stabilimento industriale dell'Europa orientale, situato nella regione di Armensk in Crimea, attualmente di proprietà di "Russian Titan" (requisito, come tutto il resto, al momento dell'occupazione illegale della Crimea), che produce(va) biossido di titanio per le munizioni dell'esercito dell'aggressore senza sosta, ma anche altre materie prime di base per la fabbricazione di polveri, carburante per missili ed esplosivi. L'intero stabilimento è stato distrutto. Ci sono stati 23 attacchi aerei. Tutti i reparti sono stati danneggiati. L’impianto è in fiamme, i dipendenti sono stati evacuati.

Just think about the basic idea of how our universities actually work. They train you to acquire knowledge and then stamp on your forehead that you are someone who has knowledge. You cannot claim to have knowledge until someone else confirms that you have that knowledge. This is a built-in mechanism for group think. It is precisely the opposite of what genuine education looks like. Genuine education shows you how to think for yourself, not seek someone else's approval.

The 'strugglers and stragglers' are the most rewarding when you can help them make progress and feel good about themselves - teaching is such an amazing job as you can get to 'teach' all manner of people and learn how to do this. 😍

I think God has a great sense of humour. Donald's trying to have a big birthday bash and God's like "I have some presents for you," and sent scorching heat, torrential rain, a bug infestation, and possibly hail and also a tornado. I'm counting on lightning and an earthquake.

I want to introduce you to Steve. He’s 83. His wife died a few months ago and he comes to this lodge in Spring Mill, Indiana and draws. He taught art in Terre Haute, IN his whole life. He also did courtroom sketches in court cases. In the comments I’ll share some pics from his sketchbook. He was excited when I said I was going to share his sketches with the world.

Thank you President Vučić for your warm and heartfelt wishes. I fondly recall your recent visit to India and our productive discussions. India deeply values its friendship with Serbia and I look forward to working together to further strengthen our partnership in the years ahead. @predsednikrs
