I took PragerU's Financial Literacy class so you don't have to. But what I discovered was so much worse than just a bad online course. So come with me as we explore how PragerU keeps making its way into schools and what that means for the future of PragerU, public education, and democracy.

Plagiarism is big news. After hbomberguy's video discussing YouTubers like Illuminaughtii, James Somerton, and the Internet Historian, on top of the cases of Harvard President Claudine Gay and MIT professor Neri Oxman, it seems like we can't trust anyone.
But what causes plagiarism, and what should we do about it? What does it say about us that we love talking about it so much? Are video essays as a genre dead? And where do we go from here?

Public education is under attack, and it feels like the attacks are coming from everywhere. In this video, we dive into the actual, literal conspiracy underneath the attacks on education. Along the way, I explore common ideas about education, debunk those ideas, and offer a hopeful conclusion defending public education.

PragerU just became a verified educational vendor in Florida, Texas, and Oklahoma, so I read all of their lesson plans to see what they're offering teachers. (Un)surprisingly, what they're offering is terrible, but maybe not for the reasons you'd think. Join me on a journey through PragerU's awful lesson plans, as we discover exactly what they're trying to teach kids across America.

* Description: *
We say we love "realistic" fiction like Batman, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Horizon: Forbidden West. We say we love when our characters "act like real people" and "have realistic dialogue." But it's worth asking: Are these things ACTUALLY realistic? And if not, is realism even worth trying to capture?

Linguist’s Pride (for Sethzard)
Did you know there are over a million words in the English language?
Which sounds like a lot
until you remember
only 17% of those million are in use
and a single person only knows about 15% of that 17%
and then we’re at only 2½% and suddenly we feel
very small.
In an infinitely expanding universe
how could we even imagine finding a word
- not even a word, just a sound -
for All the Things and the colors we’ll never see
and the plants that will be born
ten thousand years after the last great-granddaughter
of the last Earth-bound human dies.
And even knowing how insufficient our words are,
knowing how short we come to speaking the names of All the Things,
knowing how the Universe sees the hubris of linguists
as the ambitions of a child who hasn’t yet seen the stars,
Somehow there are still people
who hate the word
Moist.

In The Land of Brand Twitter, where household products and fast-food companies are personified by underpaid marketing employees working for corporations desperately trying to hold onto some semblance of relevance in ever increasingly saturated markets, it’s hard to stand out.
But one brand - Steak-Umm - was able to stand out from the crowd by tweeting about something no other brand was brave enough to: Wokeness.
Their seemingly anti-capitalist, pro-social-justice tweets gained traction and made Steak-Umm the mascot of level-headed, rational thinking on the Internet.
That's a bad thing.

* Poem: *
“The Void" (for Intergalactic Trans Celebrity Juliet Mylan)
It’s a room with dark wood walls, and a floor covered in well-worn rugs.
In the corner, a dimly lit Christmas tree pours red and green over someone’s workboots.
You notice the air has a musty wetness, like lots of old rooms in old houses.
Like your grandparents’ house.
Yes, it smells distinctly like your grandparents’ house.
Like cool Oregon air and acres of grassland baking in the summer sun and cows.
The couch – you must have missed it before – sits in the middle of the room.
The graying leather fades along creases, and years-stained whiteness pools on the left cushion.
That was your spot, when you and your brother played…
Oh, you forget the name, now…
How long has it been since you’ve seen him?
You forget…
How did you get here?
You don’t remember coming into this house. You don’t know if this room is even in a house.
How did you get here?
The cold open air of the outside feels a thousand miles away. You hear a coyote howl
somewhere in the distance.
How did you get here?
The television in the corner blinks on. An old CRT. It’s just static.
How did you get here?
It doesn’t matter.
The door is unlocked, there, behind you.
It’s ajar, but you can’t quite see through to the other side.
You can leave whenever you want.
Do you?

So, today I want to tell you a story that’s a hundred years in the making – a story that’s amazing and surprising and funny and humbling and awe-inspiring and tragic.
I want to tell you the story of Sanora Babb.

How do you even begin to argue with this? Often, when our loved ones have fallen down the rabbit hole of conspiracy theories, they seem to be out of touch with reality. So...what do we do about that?
Come with me as I explore all the ways (both right and wrong) that you can go about ACTUALLY saving your loved ones from the clutches of conspiracy theory thinking.
