@kach022 @TheNerdEmpire @MLucoji @RBReich If the electoral college is such a great idea why hasn’t even one state used the same concept with counties to select their governor?

@TheNerdEmpire @MLucoji @RBReich Yes. The electoral college recognizes that all the states are separate entities with resources and interests, and they will all have a voice in presidential elections whether they have a small or large population.

Do I have this right.. the same people spouting “vox populi, vox dei” don’t believe the president should be elected via a popular majority?

@dewaynestaffor6 @tess_prophet @MZHemingway Well then do a little research…newsweek.com/fact-check-jim…

@tess_prophet @MZHemingway The caption of Jimmy Carter. Jesus and God said multiple times, about homosexuality in both the old testament and the new testament that it is an abomination. You just didn't read your Bible. I don't think Jimmy Carter ever made that statement. Every true Christian knows this.

Nice message

@MaxZerba @TheMMQD @secretsandlaws Dude he didn’t even take the time to grab his hurricane sharpie pen to write “De” on them. How the heck is anyone supposed to know? Oh and if they are declassified could you have him send me a copy? I’d like to read them.

@TheMMQD @secretsandlaws he actually can just wave his hand. he is head of the executive, he makes and approves the process. he can say, 'because i said so.' he is the only one that can do that. that is the power of that office.

As someone who has worked on Espionage Act prosecutions, I think the most important revelation from this week's fillings is not just the photo & the sensitive markings it revealed, but the sheer number of classified documents at issue. This is not just bc of the shock value. /1

@SquawkMacro @morgan_sung Well back in the 70s you could pay for a semester of college with a full time job in just 4 weeks of a minimum wage job now it takes 22 weeks. States typically funded about 50% of college expenses now only 10%. Fwiw I had 7 offers in 1980 but that doesn’t make me better than you

anytime i see the "omg you're so lucky you got a pell grant" takes i'm like ... do you know what the eligibility is for pell grants lol

@GunnelsWarren Typo should be 3.9 weeks not 2. But the difference is huge.

@GunnelsWarren Or… the cost of K-State 1 sem tuition in 1976-80 around $400. The ave min wage during that time $2.54. Number of 40 hr weeks to pay tuition=2. Now OU tuition $6387 , min wage $7.25 weeks to pay=22.

Average Weekly Wages 1973: $873 2022: $813 Median Home 1973: $30,200 2022: $433,100 Monthly Rent 1973: $108 2022: $2,002 Tuition and Fees at University of California 1973: $150 2022: $13,104 Boomer: But why can't the slackers pay for college & pay off their loans like we did?

@AdamKinzinger A travesty… but not as big as the fact that we are one of the few developed nations without Universal Healthcare. If we had that then this bill wouldn’t even be needed.

Only in DC will a party sink a bill they support like.burn pits because dems passed a bill they also support (CHIPS). Pass the burn pit bill. Not just because I’m a burn pit vet but because for Gods sake, it’s right to do.

@jtwoseven @RepSwalwell twitter.com/repswalwell/st… hmmm. Looks like you lost.

@RepSwalwell 10 bucks says eric won't send a patriotic tweet tomorrow

You tried to overthrow your government. What do you think they are calling you, traitor?

@kelwalk12 Well I never understood the reason to wear a hat inside a building. There is no sun to keep out of your eyes.

I’ll never understand why some teachers are so obsessed with forcing students not to wear hats in class. Wearing a hat has zero percent impact on a kids engagement with the content and I just don’t get it?

@ddmeyer Plus the values are discrete you can’t have .12343 boosters.

"If you ignore the context ... " It's a beautiful day so I'm not going to dwell too long on this sad math problem, but let me recommend that curriculum designers never write the words "if you ignore the context" into a math problem.

@andishehnouraee This is what they meant to send out, but they had a glitch.

@ddmeyer There, I fixed their map. Now they should be all set...

We're in a golden age of bad leaders covering their bad leadership with bad data visualization. Will your students spot the badness? #iteachmath h/t @nilshead twitter.com/andishehnourae…

@joboaler Thanks! I have enough things going on to keep me busy this year. But I look forward to trying lessons and possibly course next year

@mathnmore No sorry it is next fall but our free lessons on the website now are good for high schoolers

There are still a few places in this *free* webinar on Thursday (July 9, 10am PST) - learn about youcubed's new initiative for data science and for equity. youcubed.org/resource/data-…

@ddmeyer This was my student.- showing this to entire class may not have been a wise move. I have a feeling similar answers will follow.
