I need to know how many of you were the kid who read absolutely everything. Cereal boxes. Shampoo bottles. The phone book. I did not require plot. I required words.

Trump on Canada: They have been one of the worst countries in the entire world. We get along with China, but Canada has been very difficult. And they feel entitled and they're not a state.

This is an extraordinary story of extortion and hypocrisy. The U.S. Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle — a close Trump ally and former fiancée of Donald Trump Jr. — admitted that the United States helped bring down governments that stood in its way. During a private dinner in Athens, while discussing the collapse of Romania’s government, Guilfoyle said: “We can do this to any country we want. We can do it here too.” The Greek energy minister pushed back, saying the United States cannot simply replace a government elected by the people. Guilfoyle insisted that they have already done this in Romania. On March 31, Guilfoyle met privately in Bucharest with senior Romanian Social Democratic officials. The discussion included the Vertical Gas Corridor and energy cooperation. Weeks later, the Social Democrats joined the pro-russian AUR party in a no-confidence vote that brought down Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan’s government. Bolojan had resisted a proposed arrangement involving expensive U.S. gas imports. So, according to Guilfoyle, Trump administration engineered the collapse of Romania’s government in a clear extortion attempt. And to do so, they have collaborated with a far left party - the communists as MAGA calls them. Anyone who still has any illusion that MAGA is a “conservative movement” needs a serious reality check.

Trump is banning students majoring in degrees that don’t make enough money from taking out college loans. Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music will be hit the hardest. trib.al/NmmAzhf

I took apart our earthquake/go bag this week to restock and I make my household take a little quiz about what we can use the contents for. Their glazed over looks truly brings back childhood memories 😂

This is the BS Trump has on the Wall Of Presidential Portraits at the WhiteHouse. This is the despicable type of BS Trump says about Obama. He doesn't even use Joe Biden's name. He's called Auto Pen. What's worse is that he is allowed do do this type of BullSh *t with taxpayer dollars. Seriously, does a self-indulgent man like this deserve to be the president.

U.S. Ambassador to China David Perdue revealed that Trump offered to sell China U.S. weapons systems during his meeting with Xi Jinping. Insane

One reason I'm always buying into Dan Lanning is the result from last night. He's always open to adapting and evolving. I can't explain what happened against Oklahoma State. Credit Cowboys but the game plan was so meh and clearly not what we've seen in the past. It was a bad loss and worst under Lanning. Two weeks later the offense looks completely different. They clearly made some structural changes and changed the pace. Found easier throws. The defensive effort is just better. The DL played well last night. They showed up. There's still some things to fix of course but look across the country at teams who lost games and let that one game spiral their season. Not at Oregon. And we could have gone flat after the Moore injury but nope. Go Ducks.

Ducks get the dub! 🦆

The illegal hit on Dante Moore has thrust targeting back into the spotlight. The NCAA is implementing new targeting rules this season, with one rule allowing a disqualified player to play in his team’s next game, regardless of which half the penalty was assessed.

Went to Costco for groceries, walked past the cheese aisle, and checked Tillamook myself. Yeah… it's on the package. Done with them.

I genuinely think we're sleepwalking into one of the biggest generational divides in modern history, and it starts long before our children ever enter the workforce. I encourage every parent to spend some time reading what teachers are saying about the children entering their classrooms. Kids who can't sit through a lesson, follow basic instructions, regulate their emotions, hold a pencil, tie their shoes or tolerate being told no. Some kindergarten teachers are reporting children arriving without basic independence skills, including a lot still in diapers. Meanwhile, we're entering a time in which AI will fundamentally change what it means to be educated, intelligent, and employable… and somehow, our response has been to put more technology in front of children at increasingly younger ages. I don't think we're talking nearly enough about the consequences. The research on executive function, early childhood development, and excessive screen use should be getting considerably more attention from parents. Not praising Ms Rachel for babysitting your 6 month old…Attention, working memory, cognitive flexibility, and emotional regulation aren't simply nice qualities to have. They're actual foundational abilities that influence how children learn, solve problems, and function independently.. and many of the experiences that help children develop these abilities are purely disappearing from everyday childhood. Unstructured play. Boredom. Reading. Physical exploration. Real conversations. Working through frustration. Learning how to entertain themselves without someone or something constantly providing stimulation. We're raising children in an environment where practically every uncomfortable moment can be eliminated with a screen (just go to target and you’ll see at least 3 babies on phones) and every difficult question can increasingly be answered by AI. But what happens when a child never develops the patience to figure something out independently? When they've spent their early years consuming content engineered to capture their attention but struggle to concentrate on something that doesn't immediately entertain them? When they've never had to develop their own imagination because an algorithm has been entertaining them since infancy? "Brain rot" might be an exaggerated term, but the concerns about attention, compulsive media use and the displacement of important developmental experiences are very very very real. Not only that..then we send these children to school and expect teachers to somehow reverse years of habits while simultaneously teaching them reading, mathematics and everything else. I think the next generation's greatest advantage may have surprisingly little to do with how early they learn to use technology. I think it will come down to which children develop the independence, curiosity, emotional resilience and critical thinking skills necessary to use that technology effectively. I want my child to understand AI. I want her to build things with it, question it, and take advantage of opportunities that didn't exist when I was growing up. But I also want her to be able to sit with a difficult problem, read an entire book, entertain herself, have meaningful conversations, disagree respectfully and navigate the world without needing an algorithm to tell her what to do next. The goal shouldn't be to raise children who can compete with AI. It should be to raise children who have developed enough of their own abilities to do extraordinary things with it….And I increasingly believe that starts with giving them a childhood that allows those abilities to develop in the first place.
