On August 22, 2007, Brian May of Queen officially earned his PhD in astrophysics from London’s Imperial College. This wasn’t just an honorary title—he truly completed the work for it.
In fact, he could have achieved it much earlier, but his career as a rock star with Queen kept him busy for decades before he returned to finish his studies.

#YouTube question: I have been getting a overabundance of these screens on YouTube. Have any of you had this issue? Is the problem on YouTube's side or mine?

@FixingEducation They can’t make the classes smaller unless the schools have the funding to hire more teachers.

@Bubblebathgirl @mmpadellan Prove what you just said about canceling Trump’s effort to lower the price of insulin. Please refer me to the executive order that Biden made to do this.
English

@mmpadellan All you do is lie and make it easy to expose your lies.
Biden raised the cost of insulin when he first stole office by cancelling Trump orders that had lowered the cost of insulin.
Then Biden took credit when he lowered the cost of insulin later.
It’s pathetic you defend that.

When I cast my vote for President Biden, I wasn't expecting much. I just wanted trump out of office.
I knew he was old.
I knew he had a stutter.
I knew he had a rep for "gaffes."
I didn't care. Just wanted trump gone.
Four years later, things are different.
I wasn't expecting that President Biden would be the most legislatively successful President in my lifetime.
I wasn't expecting him to help expand NATO.
I wasn't expecting him to lower insulin & inhalers.
I wasn't expecting him to create & recover 15m jobs.
I wasn't expecting him to bring manufacturing back.
I wasn't expecting him to forgive student debt.
But he did ALL those things, and more.
He surpassed my expectations by a lot.
And he has more planned for 2025-2028.
He's not a master orator,
He doesn't move so smoothly
But neither did FDR from his wheelchair.
Meanwhile, trump is STILL a threat.
He wants to be a dictator.
He wants to stay out of prison.
He wants revenge on his enemies.
He wants to take away from the poor and middle class and give to the ultra wealthy.
His Project 2025 will enable a national abortion ban to criminalize women seeking safe and legal abortions.
His Project 2025 will take away the rights of our LGBTQ family and friends.
His Project 2025 will transform the government into a loyalty pledge, not to America but to him ALONE.
We might never have another free election.
THAT is what is at stake in this election.
We can continue to progress with Biden policies, or we can let trump destroy democracy as we know it.
If you're looking for someone who's young and athletic, go watch a fucking movie.
I'll take the old guy who needs a nap while saving democracy over the old guy trying to overthrow democracy who needs a legal team.

@mmpadellan @robbi_fahey I don’t know about inhalers, but insulin has dropped >70% due to Biden. The maximum expense is $35/month. investor.lilly.com/news-releases/…
English

That's an absolute crime that you are being charged that much for your inhalers. Because, according to this article, there are people in the US paying that much, while folks in the UK are only paying $20 for the same inhaler.
I would contact your member of Congress, but I believe that Biden isn't finished fighting to bring the prices down for more people.

@krassenstein This is a woman of integrity. I am reading her book and it underscores how she holds the American Democracy above all politics. I look forward to seeing her in Des Moi at the end of this month.

BREAKING: Republican Liz Cheney on Trump’s apparent nomination as Nikki Haley drops out of GOP primary :
“The GOP has chosen. They will nominate a man who attempted to overturn an election and seize power. We have eight months to save our republic & ensure Donald Trump is never anywhere near the Oval Office again.”

#gmailsupport Is it still possible to use Voice Typing in Gmail? Found the instructions below from May 2023 on the web, but couldn't find Voice Typing in my General Tab in Settings.
I contacted my ITS department and they're convinced that it is an add-on/extension. Ideas?

@MrCarrOnTheWeb I just did it. Hope it works for your students. Just discovered Ziplet today. Looks intriguing. Have you been using it?

@NicholasFerroni I am between the two but tending towards the right.

#flip Is it possible for students to create a video response to other students after they have responded to the teacher? This means that it would be in the 3rd layer.
My students seem to be only able to respond to their classmates through text.
