A quick reminder of the 2024 election: if you refuse to vote because you don’t want to vote for the lesser of two evils, you will usually wind up with the greater of two evils. #vote. If you want a better country, #BeABetterCitizen

Rational Functions wrap-up activity, with some code-breaking. Final page is answers & teacher notes, pointing to a prize behind old calculus books, so you'll need to have some handy. My class: 2 bags of Starburst. #ITeachMath #MathGames matharguments.com/files/5.Ra…

You know what would have been better than #AGoodGuyWithAGun? The parents of that Jejohn (sp?) kid using a cellphone to call the police.

I’d be lying if I said I didn’t laugh at the @weatherchannel graphics this morning. Sorry Jim, your crew failed you. #Graphfail

Well, Trump wanted her investigated, so 3 weeks before an election is appropriate, I guess. Precedent noted. Interesting that the government doesn't appear to have this paperwork already.

DHS raiding a member of congress's home to search for immigration paperwork filled out decades ago by her now-deceased father really checks all the fascist police state boxes.

I’ll quote repost because he’s shut off comments … or blocked me. The number is not the issue; the anxiety level and learning are. There’s nothing magic about 30 seconds. Teachers should put SOME pressure on kids but consider whether the time limit is effective or useful.

Is the anxiety improving the math learning? Is 30 probs in 1 min better than 30 probs in 90 sec?

Very interesting reading the Current Aggregate polling numbers for #USSenate: 53 Dem, 45 GOP, 2 Tied at electoral-vote.com

When I vote for a Democrat, @DavidJollyFL, for the first time in my 41 years of life this November, it will not be because my values have changed, but because my party has abandoned our values for the sycophancy of a transactional leader who has none. I made a personal commitment to vote for @MBeltranFL when he first considered this #FL16 race, and I want to keep my word, but I’m a few more red hats, Trump mailers, and fill-ups away from taking a mulligan and voting for @KathyCastorFL. Why? Because Mike, for whatever reason, has made @realDonaldTrump his identity in this race instead of the principled conservative independence that set him apart in Tallahassee.

Once again, I have to promote these #geography games from Sheppard Software. Here's the USA - drag the state to its location on an outline of the US. Harder versions require you to rotate and scale the state before placing it. sheppardsoftware.com/geograp…

The #TexasSenate race is getting real interesting. Apparently Brandon Gill's own PR team hates him.
