I put together resources, questions & activities to consider heading into this week, where Joe Biden is inaugurated two days following the day of remembrance for MLK. Considering the duality of Biden's vision and King's is telling at this present moment: fivebyfive.substack.com/p/5x5-king-bid…

@ZahavaStadler If you haven't passed it along yet, I'd be interested!

"This was James Butler. That was the adult in the gym. ... He was a stud." —Brett Brown on how Butler willed the 76ers to a Game 2 victory

My 15-year-old is required to take a journalism class at his high school, and watching my shy kid take on its challenges--esp. contacting strangers and interviewing them--has made me realize that Journalism 101 is really a *life-skills* class that every teen would benefit from.

I'm on Post @byjohnphillips. Might be time for a migration in that direction.

I trust @karaswisher's perspective on tech more than anyone else's, so I'm going to give Post a try. Run by the guy who created Waze. It's in early stages, but you can sign up here: post.news/?r=vmiej. Worth a shot!

@DerekBodnerNBA Maxey for player coach

Maxey: "At one point coach was trying to run a pick-and-roll play, and I was like let's just give the ball to Joel."

The kind of Embiid game that you’ll tell your grandkids about.

This whole postseason, every home run has me missing Harry Kalas a ton. You can just imagine the energy he’d bring to these calls. He was the greatest.

When is the last time a break went the Phils’ way?

@jayrosen_nyu @loganaimone It's one of the first things I open with in my Intro to Journalism class, in large part because of your thread, Jay. Thank you!

@loganaimone Thanks, Logan. Hallin's spheres change the picture we have in our minds for how journalism works in a pluralist society.

In 2020 I wrote this thread. Tonight I accidentally deleted it. So I had to do a reconstruction job using the Internet Archive. The thread is about something pretty big that I feel I got wrong. And it gets more and more wrong as time moves on. So if that's your thing... 1/

@ZingerLearns Thank you so much! Super helpful!

What books / articles / podcasts shaped the way that you think about building community in your classrooms?

@SheaSerrano Sounds like a challenge, honestly.

if you assign the new short story to students in any grade level lower than college you are 100% gonna get some emails from some parents lol

NEW: The application to apply for student debt cancelation JUST WENT LIVE. Apply: studentaid.gov/debt-relief/ap…

@wojespn Victory tour incoming.

The Philadelphia 76ers have fully guaranteed F/C Paul Reed's contract for the 2022-2023 season, sources tell ESPN.

This clip made me more emotional than I expected and the tone Biden uses is all too familiar. It’s ‘we love you, we’re here for you, but we are at a loss for how to support you.’ It’s so, so hard to see ones you love struggling.
