@DanWuori My daughter @ 3 months old — I recorded it because I thought it was cute - you’ve taught me that it’s “serve and return” ❤️❤️❤️

My dad’s a real hoot! 🦉 Last week I shared a video of a serve and return interaction of a father beat boxing and his son trying earnestly to mimic the strange and distinctive sounds coming from his mouth. Here’s a slightly different variation - shared to IG by clay_newcomb - in which a four-month-old does his level best to mimic dad’s owl calls. He hasn’t got the tone down quite yet, but admire the way in which baby manages to nail the vocal pattern of dad’s example. Pretty impressive! It’s yet another example of the ways in which infants endeavor to mirror the models set for them by their loved ones. What fun to be an owl in training!

@setowns @AnnenbergInst I don't know, but if it helps most folks work from home on Mondays and Fridays. No harm in applying, right? Folks here are pretty reasonable/flexible.

@andrewcamp_ @mpolikoff Can you parse out/compare districts where that 5th day is mostly protected as a “day off” for teachers, vs. those that have teacher reqs. for that 5th day? B/c it seems obv. (at least to this former teacher) that 4 LONGER school days + 5th day of meetings & lesson planning = 👋

@mpolikoff Evidence here is still early, but my understanding of effects on retention based on studies from OR, MO, and CO is that any positive effects fade out over time. The effects I found in AR might be bc 4DSWs are much newer there than other states.

Between this and the other questions swirling around Vindman this is going to be a nightmare of a general election for Dems if he wins tomorrow.
Eric Michael Garcia@EricMGarcia

In campaign literature, Eugene Vindman calls himself a retired colonel. But as @j_bowden4 notes, while he retired at the rank, he had not served the required three years in rank necessary under Army protocols to retain that rank upon retirement. independent.co.uk/news/world/ame…

He won this by out-working his opponent and everyone in the state of Virginia this year. He is a caring and honest dude but also laser focused. No bullshit. Great instincts. He also surrounded himself with great people.

The last 7 years I’ve been working in campaigns. I love it. It’s what makes me happy. I’ve worked in Utah, North Carolina (twice), Nevada, Maryland and Virginia (three times). I’ve worked on races ranging from state house, state senate, multiple congressionals and a presidential

I'm sure Philly fans will absorb the call and the result with the grace and class for which they are known.

@pwcdanica @mikemullin4VA Let me know if you need someone to come speak at committee - I can tell everyone how different it’s been for kids before and after the access to free breakfast and lunch!

You know what’s cool? Feeding hungry kids. Del. @mikemullin4VA is carrying the bill and I’m carrying the budget amendment to feed every kid in every Virginia public school without charging them, just like in 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 when the feds funded it. Let’s feed the kids.

@carterforva I went to a Brooks & Dunn concert in the late 90s—Ronnie Dunn was clearly drunk, and he slurred/gasped his way through “My Maria” and forgot 1/2 the words…I vividly remember it even 20+ years later

@andrewcamp_ I want to know what “dangerously dry” means - like, you’re going to become so staticky you might light the entire house on fire? 🤔
