@noodlemaz @ChrisW1 That was my impression when it was in the news, but again, never bothered to dig into it. Thanks!

(And I appreciate the analogy. I go off on Myers-Briggs here every couple of months.)

@noodlemaz @ChrisW1 I *almost* replied with that, but I hesitated because ever since it was in the news (and was quite a cause celeb among the educators I know), I’ve meant to dig more into the actual research. It wasn’t clear to me whether the finding is that everybody learns equally well across different modes or environments (unlikely—that feels akin to, say, denying that ADHD exists), or that the particular model of Learning Styles that was in vogue for the last thirty years was wrong.

Me, in high school in the 1990s: hoping every class period would be just watching a video so I didn't have to learn anything.

Me, online in the 2020s: hoping none of these links will lead to watching a video because I want to learn something.

TGIF: Thank God It’s Friday.

WTFIW: What The Fuck?! It’s Wednesday.

@ChrisW1 Indeed! To each, their own.

@maxleibman the 404 media podcast https://www.404media.co/the-404-media-podcast/

@tk Yep—in my follow-up post, I mentioned that there were 21 tech podcast hosts I regularly heard and only one was a woman; Samantha Cole of 404 is the one.

@Daojoan I knew it!

If your selection becomes stuck in the vending machine, do not rock the machine in an attempt to shake your purchase loose, as this may cause the the machine to tip over and crush you.

Instead, wait for the next visit of the technician who stocks and maintains the machine, and then tip it over on him.

I’m not wasting time on Mastodon, YOU’RE wasting time on Mastodon. I already posted this. I’m gone.

Thanks! I do my best work when I should be doing something else.

Every day do one thing that terrifies you. Just ruin your day with that thing

I was serious when I told you I stamp my best puns onto silver coins.

I mint what I said.

YES diggity.

Sorry, can’t. Busy. This space isn’t going to stare off into itself.

Them: No shoes, no shirt, no service!

Me: Oh, no service, please. I was gonna use the self-checkout, anyway. Thanks!

It’s weird that there aren’t more Elon Musk stans defending him here.

Also, does anyone else have this autocorrect bug where it keeps replacing “fucking great” with “weird?”
