This win by Anthology (Bb Learn Ultra) as a takeaway from Canvas LMS is one of the biggest I've seen. It's not really higher ed (gov't agency vocational training) but significant, with 30k learners. anthology.com/news/ilerna-sp…

I have no words. This is the second text thread I’ve sent like this in two weeks, because students on campus have been sent a shelter in place alert. My heart is broken for the UNC community.

Every Texan facing higher energy bills this summer should be outraged that crypto companies are making twice as much money from @ERCOT_ISO than they are from their *actual product*.

This is grotesque. A bill by ⁦@LoisKolkhorst⁩ would’ve cut off such payments to bitcoin. cnbc.com/2023/09/06/texas-pa…

The front page of tomorrow's @dailytarheel – I shed many tears while typing up these heart-wrenching text messages sent and received by UNC students yesterday. Our campus was on lockdown for more than three hours. Beyond proud of this cover and the team behind it.
