Why would we ever want anyone leading a prayer to a diety in any government or school functions? Serious question.
We're excited to be in Morganton today to celebrate the grand opening of NCSSM-Morganton! This new rural @NCSSM campus will serve more than 1,000 high school students from across the state of North Carolina each year through residential, online, and summer programs.

This latest massive infusion into the Infowars coffers happened during the dip or it would have been worse. He's cashed out 114.5 BTC and another 114.6~ remains unspent.
New: Alex Jones’ #Bitcoin megadonor has now given him nearly $8 million in only 26 days. This coincides with the Sandy Hook lawsuit moving forward to determine what he owes. @MeganSquire0 & me again: splcenter.org/hatewatch/2022…

Not many people noticed (or cared? yay) that the Daily Stormer lost its .su domain last week and had to skulk back to its .name registration from 2019. Looks like a simple case of not paying their bill.

The reason we need to understand Telegram is that it's currently the first & most enticing stop on the deplatforming express. Here is an insanely comprehensive description of the platform, founders & deep corporate history. (I'm cited, but that's not why you should read it, obvs)
Telegram is determined to topple Zuckerberg. It's also loved by the global far-right and Trump movement. And its founder Pavel Durov runs it in complete opacity. Better the devil you know? I spent a year on this giant dive into Telegram for @WIRED wired.com/story/how-telegram…

In academia, we don't say "I love you." We say "minor revisions." And I think that's really beautiful.

President Trump has been visibly angry the last two days and he's been lashing out more than usual. Why is he so mad? Because this story from The NY Times laid out, point by point, what he did wrong. It is clearly a must read so here it is again: nytimes.com/2020/04/11/us/po…

Sure, "chance" can often be used for "random chance", but neither drive home what we mean in a stats class. Example: "The interesting results could have been due to just random chance." Blech, help me! #StatsEd
