Philosophriends, I worked with @openstax (et multi alibi) to write an Intro to Philosophy textbook that covers the bases--from a global perspective. It's completely free & you'll appreciate the quality and breadth. Use it as a primary text or supplement: openstax.org/details/books/i…

Your daily reminder that the IRS will launch a pilot of its first free tax online filing tool in a matter of weeks.
It will be available in 12 states In English and Spanish.
Intuit spent $3.8 MILLION in the past year alone to stop this from happening.
We didn’t let them win.

Good thing that X is still on x.com because otherwise I would have to forget about this app entirely.

Notice: a story documenting thousands of cases of child exploitation, clear as day, out in the open, and the (to be clear, otherwise excellent) report doesn’t mention the word “crime” or “criminal” once. It’s presented entirely as a civil and bureaucratic process issue.

The @nytimes spoke with more than 100 migrant child workers in 20 states, working for brands like Cheerios, Ford and Fruit of the Loom, who described jobs grinding them into exhaustion and fears they were trapped.

Listening to the B*rnes & Foibles rep talk about how their "complete"/everyone required to pay for textbooks program works "really well" with OER. Um, I think you don't understand OER...

Nice to see Warehouse Live on the list. Also, I've been to only three of these venues. May need to update the bucket list.

Can someone explain how Cardi B wins this trial? Isn't this just a clear-cut case of appropriating image and likeness? (Explain it in a way that doesn't appeal to raw power as justification.) cbsnews.com/news/cardi-b-win…

Nice thread. One thought: writing that is valued (even required) for academic publishing doesn’t work for teaching.

Teaching is so weird because nobody seems to want to talk about how to explain things... which seems like it'd be something we'd talk a whole lot about. There are a few things I've learned from research into clarity of explanations that I wish I'd been taught earlier 1/
