@MrBeast My friends and I 😭

Me and my friends got dropped off on an island and had to build a boat to get home lol

@flowidealism One time I told my mom I was very fat-i-gUde. I meant fatigued. I had only read it. 😂

Never make fun of someone who mispronounces a word. Odds are they learned it through reading. When I was in fourth grade, I kept reading about "Osean" and couldn't figure out what it was. Turns out it was "ocean." That's the mark of a reader: encountering words on the page before hearing them spoken.

@MattMahanSJ @TheBabylonBee or @Not_the_Bee “California democrats quietly admit lowering taxes is actually good for the economy.”

We did the math, got out of the way, and the result is dramatic. mercurynews.com/2026/03/07/mah…

@howie_hua I hope you have a paid platform. I would pay to do a refresher math course with you 😍

How can we find all integer solutions to 3x+2y=100? Here's a quick introduction to solving linear Diophantine equations.

@Iandaddy1502 @Math_files Yes, or multiply 39 x .77

@Math_files okay check this out. percentages are just decimals. so if youre having trouble. multiply 77 by 39. then move the decimal to the left 2 spaces

@Rainmaker1973 My dad was a garbage man in the 70-80’s. He told me recycling was mostly a scam to make people feel good. He said glass and aluminum are the only things worth recycling.

Glass is a true "permanent material"—it can be recycled indefinitely (100% closed-loop) without any loss in quality, purity, or performance. Unlike most materials, its chemical structure remains unchanged through repeated melting and reforming, allowing old bottles and jars to become brand-new high-quality containers forever. This stands in stark contrast to plastic, which is far cheaper for companies to produce and transport (lighter weight means lower shipping costs, and raw material/energy inputs are generally lower). Yet this short-term savings comes at a steep environmental price: we're degrading ecosystems, landfills, and oceans to cut a few cents per unit. Glass offers genuine sustainability advantages when recycled properly: • Using cullet (recycled glass fragments) replaces virgin raw materials (sand, soda ash, limestone)—one tonne of cullet saves about 1.2 tonnes of new resources. • It slashes energy use dramatically: every 10% increase in cullet reduces furnace energy needs by ~2.5–3%, and melting 100% cullet can cut energy by up to ~40% compared to virgin production. • CO₂ emissions drop significantly—studies show ~580–670 kg saved per tonne of recycled glass (cradle-to-cradle), with up to 58–60% reduction when using high cullet percentages. • Fewer raw material extractions mean less mining impact and habitat disruption. The key to unlocking glass's full potential is clean, color-sorted collection. Mixed colors or contamination (from curbside debris, ceramics, or other recyclables) often downgrades glass to lower-value uses like fiberglass insulation or road aggregate instead of bottle-to-bottle recycling. Proper sorting—by color and purity—keeps it in the premium loop. By improving recycling habits (rinsing containers, separating by color where possible, and supporting deposit-return systems), we can maximize glass's role in a true circular economy. It's one of the few packaging options that genuinely protects resources long-term—let's not sacrifice it for cheaper, disposable alternatives that harm the planet.

@Natasha_Crain Don’t let him sell it. Hold the rights to it!

Last month, I shared a bit here about how my 17-year-old son has a passion for video game development and has spent hundreds of hours over the last 9 months creating his first game for release. Well, I want to let you know that Nitro Turtles is now out! It's a party racing game (kind of like Mario Kart) and has 9 courses, a speedrun mode with online leaderboards, and split screen/online multiplayer. My husband and I played all 9 courses against each other last night and IT WAS SO FUN! I'm so proud of him for the accomplishment. He has a really demanding junior year schedule of AP/Dual Credit/Honors classes, has straight As, and somehow managed to develop this all on his own out of pure passion. He started teaching himself programming in 3rd grade and just developed his skills from there. Nitro Turtles in the culmination of all the subsequent years of self-driven learning. If you or your kids play computer games, I would love for you to check the game out on Steam! store.steampowered.com/app/3952070/Ni…

🚨 Here is the full 40 minutes of my crew and I exposing California fraud, Minnesota was big but California is even bigger... We uncovered over $170,000,000 in fraud as these fraudsters live in luxury with no consequences. Like it and share it, the fraud must STOP. We ALL work way too hard and pay too much in taxes for this to be happening. These fraudsters have been able to defraud American taxpayers for years without any pushback from the public and politicians. It is time to EXPOSE IT ALL and end America's fraud crisis.

@JamesAFurey Thank you for your thoughtful reply. We’re the first generation of teachers to write a philosophy of ed. in relation to AI. I want to carefully consider all points of view. The definition of cheating and plagiarism have not changed. That we definitely agree on.

@cinnamin If you want people to be able to quickly do arithmetic in their heads, you will delay introducing them to a calculator. If you want them to be able to think clearly, you won’t allow them to offload their work to an AI. To compare the two is a category error.

BREAKING: Majority of kids report positive experience of using AI to help them cheat their way to higher grades. More as it comes.

@HerbalistChief But… pollen? What about the pollen?

Placing pillows in sunlight once a week naturally sterilizes them with UV rays. This practice kills dust mites, bacteria, and molds, giving you a cleaner, healthier sleep.

@thejasonkantor The problem is they’ve moved required learning up, even though children’s ages (and development) haven’t changed. It used to be K was for learning the alphabet and beginning reading. Now that is for Prek.

My best friend's wife is a kindergarten teacher and her students are expected to sit all day for whole lessons as if they were in upper grades Is this the norm or is her school an outlier? I thought kindergarten was largely playing, socializing, introductory reading/math, and things of that nature

@flowidealism The question then becomes, what are good standards and who gets to choose those standards? We must properly define excellence if we are requiring it.

Think about American Idol. Simon Cowell would reject people in auditions who couldn't sing. But the winners were spectacular. The show did not lower standards. It applied them to a different dimension than a traditional music conservatory might have. That is closer to what we are doing with education. The standards are high. The dimensions of excellence are broader than what many schools recognize. But excellence is non-negotiable.

@defense_civil25 @PressSec just said there was no threat. Now I’m confused 😩

🚨Alert: All signs point to an imminent Iranian terror attack on California. Stay vigilant and report suspicious activity to authorities.

@JamesAFurey I was going to say it’s an opportunity to teach perseverance. He’ll get there. 😊

This has elicited every response from “don’t worry about it” to “your kid can’t actually read” to “he probably has autism.” Ah, Twitter. Never change.

@catturd2 @iamAtheistGirl I really thought this would end with “around your special needs.” But, it was kind of you to spare special needs persons the comparison.

@iamAtheistGirl You’re an atheist so none of this matters. And the planet will still be here 100,000years from now - long after your insane narcissism who thinks the earth exists to rotate around your current special feelings.

@BrittanyBlubau1 @MichaelFKane Don’t do Charlotte Mason.

@MichaelFKane So fun!! Can I suggest A Philosophy of Education by Charlotte Mason? She has 7 books and they are all excellent. For The Children’s Sake by Susan Schaeffer Macaulay is also really good.

Time to start researching homeschool curriculum. I know it's just kindergarten but... I always hate approaching a subject with zero knowledge. Once I get my foot in the door, fine. Zero knowledge does NOT make me comfortable at all.

@pronatpropo @MichaelFKane Link! We need a link

@washghost1 It’s like naming your business “Help Others” but the other is you.

Goodwill really doesn’t even try anymore

@PhilosophyOfPhy General relativity seems like a misnomer

In physics tesseract is used to model higher dimensional spaces, such as in theoretical physics, cosmology (e.g., studying dark energy), and general relativity.
