When "In-N-Out Burger" started giving out bumper stickers with their logo it was quickly figured out that if you cut the "B" and "R" out of "Burger" you get a naughty message, somehow I can't help but think they planned it that way.
Ufology in Decline, Part Two
Back more years than I care to think about it, I developed my interest in flying saucers. At that time I had questions and wrote to both APRO and NICAP. NICAP responded with a membership package and nothing else. APRO responded with a membership package but also took the time to answer my questions. Naturally, I joined APRO and developed a relationship with both Jim and Coral Lorenzen. Over the years I spoke with Coral and Jim on many occasions, visited them in Tucson, which was their headquarters then, and met them in various locations. They asked me to investigate specific cases f... more »
We’ve got to do something about Islam’s war on the west

But to do so means identifying the enemy and defeating them. Victory is possible.” If only the response weren’’ self-crippled from the start. Winning would not mean blow-hard blather, white-washing Islam, or hand-wringing evasion – the three most popular responses today that help the self-cripppling. *One must [for example] speak out against all acts of hatred and violence towards homos... more »

*It's Time to Ditch 4 Years of Costly College for Directed Apprenticeships* Short, intense directed apprenticeships that teach students how to learn on their own to mastery are the future of higher education. So it turns out sitting in a chair for four years doesn't deliver mastery in anything but the acquisition of staggering student-loan debt. Practical (i.e. useful) mastery requires not just hours of practice but directed deep learning via doing of the sort you only get in an apprenticeship. The failure of our model of largely passive learning and rote practice is explained by ... more »

Breaking: Hillary Clinton is a C****
I got talking the other day on Facebook with Deborah Russell, who argued that we should ignore party-political talking points about Mrs Clinton and simply stand back in awe at her achievements as a “public servant.” I asked her respectfully which of her many achievements in office she admired the most? She sent me to two sites, here and here, full of party-political blather. Could it be, bizarre as it might sound, that many simply see her most relevant political achievement as being in possession of a vagina? The book *Clinton Cash* lists hundreds of Hillary’s very real achieve... more »

Omar Mateen and American Culture
Some sketchy thoughts about the murder of 50 clubbers at Pulse in Orlando. 1. It does not matter how tragic or bloody the event, there will always be people sick enough to try and score points off it. On this occasion, fast out of the gate was Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, who thought it appropriate to gloat over the bullet riddled bodies of the victims. Remember, this man is supposed to be a Christian. Joining him in callous indifference and cynicism comes ex-diplomat Michael Oren. On Israel's Channel 10 this afternoon he suggested Donald Trump would be wise to exploit th... more »

The 29-year-old killer ended the life of some 49 other people, injured dozens of others, and was later neutralized despite the hostages. *Mateen had Afghani ancestors and he recently pledged allegiance to Daesh.

On 'Student Teaching'
At our University of Derby learning and teaching day on Thursday, I dropped into a session concerned with students as "co-producers".

One of the reasons is while, yes, of course any learning situation is the co-production of all its participants, but there are power relations embedded in any (semi-)traditional class room setting. No amount of fluffy fuzziness can disguise the fact the power is located in t... more »

The experience of school choice as a teacher
A massive story on school choice in NYC is in the NY Times magazine.

Moreover, choice benefits families […]

The Diplomat on The Evolution of the New Taiwan Identity: Plus ca change
[image: DSC02335] *The marvelous Miaoli 16, which runs along the south side of the Mingde Reservoir.* The Diplomat ran a piece on the evolution of the Taiwanese Identity by Linda van der Horst, a nice echo of my post on Albert Axelbank's piece from the 1960s. It was well meaning, but wrong in several particulars and I think in its overall interpretation of the situation. Some small errors: The KMT was established on the mainland in 1911 and retreated to Taiwan after its defeat by Mao Zedong’s Communists. The KMT was established in 1912, disbanded, and then reformed in 1919. I think... more »

Coral expert prosecuted by Aussie university for noticing that a coral reef still exists
The Australian (see also Andrew Bolt, thanks to Willie Soon) brings us another saddening report about the ideologically driven prosecution of a researcher at an Australian university. The Great Barrier Reef, the world's largest coral reef system (near the Eastern coasts of Australia), is one of the frequently mentioned symbols of the destruction of this planet by humans. The coral reef is surely facing some pressures that it didn't know millions of years ago. But is there anything such as an existential threat for the coral reef?

Supreme Court Declares Cyberbullying Laws Unconstitutional
The Supreme Court has ruled that cyberbullying laws violate freedom of speech rights, and are therefore unconstitutional.

Superhero Presidents
My last post on Domain Play in Superhero RPGs received a fair amount of discussion which gave me some additional food for thought. One of the biggest takeaways is there are two primary ways of handling a PC or major NPC ruling over a nation in a superhero game (or any other genre as well). The easiest way would be to simply make it a point of the character's background. In many comic books, the fact that a character rules or is royalty in a far-off land is perhaps an interesting plot point that gets used every once in a while. This is fairly common in comic books, particularly in ... more »

Threats? Oh dear.
Often, people who issue threats are betraying the precarity of their own position. As a major potential F-35 customer, a lack of or continued postponement a Canadian order likely increases the cost of the F-35 for other customers, perhaps prohibitively. This could be terminal to the program as it would also impact US orders. More to the point, Canadians generally find naked threats terribly
