We could be facing a pivotal moment in as the landscape faces remarkable forces for/of change, across ( not just but including of course, with and ) and cultural shifts, politics generally, social-emotional development in Society, and so much more ... Here is the thing. It's going to work out. But put on your seatbelt, it might get a little bumpy.

Faith groups want more say in secular Britain. Labour should tell them to go to hell

Division, be it by wealth (education, medicine, housing) is a scourge and had been for as long as I can remember in Britain. We have the CoE in the already deeply flawed House of Lords by right, what is next?

Stop using chat rooms (like Discord) as a replacement for tech support forums! Chat rooms and private messaging have a place for synchronous communication, but threads get easily lost, and they’re usually not indexed by search engines.

Keeping my fingers crossed for ya on the U.S west coast.
It's only 9:30 pm pt there.

Will check back in another hour to see if anyone posts anything more than purple sky glow.

BTW: for anyone not familiar with it's aurora related but it's caused by the gas, not directly by the charged particles.
Still pretty enchanting

Studies like this are an indictment against Republican policies to purposefully under-fund pre-k and schools in districts where the majority of residents are people of color, ethnic or religious minorities, or poor.

From the article:
Metacognitive abilities may be more influenced by environment than genetics by Eric W. Dolan, May 3, 2024 in Cognitive Science

"...Metacognition refers to the awareness and management of one’s own cognitive processes, such as learning and problem-solving, while mentalizing involves understanding and interpreting the mental states of oneself and others, crucial for effective social interaction.

...Contrary to the traditionally high heritability observed in general cognitive abilities like intelligence, the researchers found that metacognition and mentalizing are more strongly influenced by environmental factors than by genetic ones..."

Peter Butera criticized his School District for its handling of the student government.

The school makes his point for him, by getting him off the stage.

Like other #SchoolDistricts across the #South, the county had decided to remove the #Confederate leaders’ names during the national reckoning about race sparked by the 2020 killing of #GeorgeFloyd.
Private donations will fund the implementation of the name change, according to the school board’s meeting agenda.

Jen at Defend Digital Me has don’t great work exposing this. It’s the same pattern collect data for a legitimate use then before you know it the data forms part of our increasingly totalitarian surveillance state.

The cost of a university education is increasingly falling on students & their families as inflation eats into available support.

This is not an accident but rather an evident shift away from an approach that saw 'massification' of higher education as a good thing.

We're slowly (but clearly) moving back to a situation where a university degree becomes only plausible if you have family financial backing....

University is returning to its earlier class composition.
