"Professors can create conditions in which cheating is difficult, giving closed-book, closed-note, closed-internet exams in a controlled environment. They can create assignments in which cheating is difficult, by asking students to draw on what was said in class and to reflect on their own learning. They can make cheating less relevant, by letting students collaborate and use any resource at their disposal."

@ProPublica broke the story of Justice Thomas' blatant corruption. In a follow-up after Thomas claimed he'd done nothing wrong, the news org quoted his BS and then, citing people who know what they're talking about, refuted the BS.

Contrast this with the Washington Post's coverage: A story uncritically amplifying the BS, and a less-prominent sidebar labeled a "fact check".

ProPublica did it right. The Post did it wrong.

If a curriculum can’t “change, move, perturb, inform teachers, it will have no effect on those whom they teach. It must be first and foremost a curriculum for teachers. If it has any effect on pupils, it will have it by virtue of having had an effect on teachers.”
-Jerome Bruner

Significant detail regarding #ClarenceThomas failure to disclose multiple gifts of travel from Harlan Crow over the years. In 2004, the LA Times reported on gifts Thomas disclosed he had received from Crow. After this reporting, Thomas didn’t stop accepting gifts from Crow; he just stopped disclosing them. https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2023-04-06/the-times-reported-about-justice-thomas-gifts-20-years-ago-after-he-just-stopped-disclosing-them #JudicialEthics

I can’t accept pens from drug companies because it might influence my prescribing, but a supreme court justice can accept millions in vacations and luxuries from a political influencer and we’re expected to believe it had no effect on his decision making?

Things Americans are now apparently “over”: Covid, college, vaccines, freedom of speech, bodily autonomy. 🫤

The variances between instructor approaches and expectations throughout PhD coursework is giving me whiplash.

The story needs to get more attention. It’s way cool. You go girls!

It has been known for 2 decades that Clarence Thomas is thoroughly corrupt. No charge will ever be levied against him for his corruption as long as Republicans hold more than 1/3 of the US Senate.

David G. Savage: Los Angeles Times reported about Justice Thomas’ gifts 20 years ago. After that he stopped disclosing them

This is still fascism. Just done by parliamentary procedure instead of brown shirt militias.

Current mood: https://youtu.be/8de2W3rtZsA

Florida removed “Anne Frank’s Diary: The Graphic Adaptation” school libraries in Indian River County

Your reminder, it’s legal to run over protestors in GOP-run Florida

And Monday, 11 protestors were arrested for gathering in a circle and singing to protest the 6-week abortion ban

The wave of fascism gets bolder: the Tennessee GOP forcibly expelled two legally elected black Democrat representatives yesterday

In this country, we have no democracy at this time.

They paid to artist to commemorate the corruption!!!?!?@?@^÷&÷&÷&××%@"

3/ John Dean:

Authoritarianism dominates the GOP today. The results is autocratic government. Just look to Tennessee for an example of autocratic government at work. It is ugly. It is undemocratic, and it is unAmerican!

Women now publish >50% of books and sell more books than men. Reasons: book demand driven by women, pub industry dominated by women, writing is a solo effort, lacks office politics & hierarchies, and is low-paid for most authors.

Has anyone taken a moment to remind you of the simple fact of just how amazing you are? How nice it is to have you around?

It's true and I fear you're not told often enough.

FLOTUS’ idea to bring both the winner and loser of the women’s college basketball championship drew sharp rebuke, with criticism that the idea to – for the first time ever – invite a majority white runner-up team signifies #whiteprivilege.
