The way to shut up Donald Trump: Put him under oath.

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/reversal-donald-trump-says-will-not-testify-defense-new-york-fraud-tri-rcna128749

"reversal" don't make me laugh. He was never going to testify.

6 composite photos of Dick Van Dyke (& me, my class) in black box theater of public perform. arts high school where I taught/directed Comedy class/shows. Dick wanted to see us in action, loved it, asked me to write/direct his annual theater prod. to "make it funnier."

I couldn't believe Dick Van Dyke asked ME to make HIM funnier. Did it for 2 yrs, finally had to quit due to time conflicts.

He visited us, played w/ us, had a ball! I'm the redhead in blue jeans. Here we go!

No. I don’t CW actual news unless it’s gory or otherwise extremely disturbing.

This is why people leave Mastodon, (not me) folks.

I replied back that I don’t CW news and that they should mute me.

There's a story about Ben Franklin emerging from the Constitutional Convention & telling a woman who asked what type of government they’d created, “a Republic, if you can keep it.” The #2024election is the moment where we find out if we can.

If #Trump wins in 2024, we lose the Republic. That’s not drama, and that’s not overstatement. That’s what Trump is promising. It's what he's been working on since at least October of 2020.

I asked Rep Don Bacon (R-NE) if the House GOP requires any #Speaker to be a 2020 election denier. He said no… but then acknowledged it remains a divisive issue that is splintering the House GOP.

Bacon says he believes the results of the 2020 election

Yes, Rep Bacon says he’ll vote for Rep Johnson to be speaker. Other House Republicans, including Rep Ralph Norman (R-SC) predict overwhelming, if not unanimous, GOP vote for Johnson

Deglassco, to random

Exactly 60 years ago, at 10:22 AM on a Sunday, 4 members of the Ku Klux Klan planted a bomb at the 16th Street Baptist Church, in Birmingham Alabama.The blast was so powerful that it blew a hole in the church’s wall, shattered windows, and caused damage to buildings nearby. It killed 6 children and injured more than 20 people. But why that church and that city? Read on.

Graphing calculators are dead. Long live graphing calculators.

With the SAT going all digital and desmos.com and geogebra providing spectacular visuals the days of the graphing calculator seem numbered.

But I have a bold vision for a calculator that would grow with students needs and teach more than math tricks.

Just as I've developed a curriculum where students learn about numbers, through to irrationals by making their own wooden ruler this calculator would be a multi-year project. 1/
