When AI first came out, I was intrigued. I started thinking of ways to use it creatively to help me. Ways to boost engagement. Ways to support learning. I was the guy making presentations with titles like 10 Ways to Use ChatGPT in Class or 5 Ways to Increase Engagement with AI. And those were usefulat the time. But were past that now. AI is here. It’s constantly evolving.

The Devastating Floods in Eastern Kentucky (Part 1) (From of the last chapter in my book entitled, “Surrounding the Kentucky River, from its beginnings to the end.”) The deluge began in Eastern Kentucky on the night of July 27, 2022.

As lessons at the Zinn Education Project demonstrate, the U.S. war against Vietnam began in 1945 at the end of World War II , with the U.S. refusal to recognize Vietnams independence. Every U.S. president from Truman through Nixon waged war on Vietnam. And as the Pentagon Papers demonstrate, each of these presidents lied about it. The human suffering and the ecological devastation is impossible to calculate.

When the Eaton and Palisades fires raged through Los Angeles, home of the second-largest school district in the country, they took lives and turned thousands of homes to ash, causing billions of dollars in damage. Much of the devastation was immediate and visible. But some scars will emerge slowly and last for years to come. A subtly pernicious one?

In the vast timeline of human evolution, one question has nagged at researchers more than most: how did cooperation, a risky and often costly behavior, come to define Homo sapiens ? A recent study out of the University of Tsukuba offers an unexpected answer. It wasn't stability, safety, or predictability that shaped our social instincts—it was the opposite.

Ive been on several interviews the last few years. Am I a good interviewer? No. I try to be humble. I try not to talk about Teacher of the Year. I try not to bring up the book I co-authored. I try to be genuine. I try to be modest. I try to just be me. And sometimes that works against me. Through some conversations, Ive learned two things about why some of those interviews havent gone my way: Im either seen as too out of the box or they assume Ill leave for something bigger and better.

In a limestone cavern carved into the flanks of the Lesser Caucasus Mountains, archaeologists recently recovered an object no larger than a matchstick—yet carrying profound implications. Found amid layers of Mesolithic debris in Damjili Cave, Azerbaijan, this human figurine—crafted from sandstone with a striped belt and stylized coiffure—offers a rare glimpse into the symbolic world of hunter-gatherers teetering on the cusp of the Neolithic.

When I was 23, I was living in my parents basement. I had just graduated college with my teaching degree and license in hand, but teaching tennis was what I really wanted to do. At first, it felt like the right path. The hours were picking up and the income was solid. But the days were unpredictable. Early mornings on court. Long stretches of nothing during the day (unless you could line up private lessons).

Tombs Without Thrones High on the grassy ridgelines of Neolithic Ireland, where fog slips across stone like whispered memory, early farmers raised monuments that still loom over the living. Passage tombs like Newgrange and Knowth, older than the pyramids, have long been cast as the burial vaults of prehistoric kings and queens. But new genetic evidence is unsettling that tale.
