I'm an anti-imperialist so I do appreciate America's efforts to paint the international stage with it's brains. Not sure if what comes next will be better but I'm optimistic.
Any recommendations for how to approach K-12 math teaching? Got some (very) little ones and doing our best but both parents are definitely more humanities-brained
The Doomsday Clock really strains credulity; I'd love to see a case for how we're closer to (as defined in this article) total nuclear annihilation or even a limited exchange than we were at any point in the cold war. The case is not convincingly made by any of the subjects in the article.

Same admin that opposes any real reporting on what they're doing except for entities that report glowingly on them.
