160 years ago today, forces under William T. Sherman launch a final assault to force rebel troops to abandon Atlanta. The Battle of Jonesborough, GA ends in a Union victory. The capture of Atlanta helps Lincoln win victory in November.

Celebrating Guerriere Day!
Today, we commemorate Guerriere Day aboard USS Constitution, marking 212 years since โOld Ironsidesโ triumphed over HMS Guerriere off the coast of Nova Scotia.
HUZZAH!

Mail is crazy because it's like 99 pieces of straight up garbage and 1 that if you don't reply to you're going to jail.

Happy Fourth of July to all our American friends!
We understand what independence means to you, Americans, and you can see that it means the same thing to us, Ukrainians.
We value independence equally and rely on our brave men and women to defend it. Together, we are creating hope for people all over the world. A hope that freedom will always triumph.
True independence is always the result of won battles, and freedom must be reinforced with victories every time tyranny attempts to destroy it. Different generations of Americans and Ukrainians have witnessed this firsthand, and it is critical that current generations pass on a sense of confident independence and guaranteed freedom to their children and grandchildren.
On this day, we join our trusted ally in recognizing this most sacred value for both of our nations. We do so with deep gratitude for all of the support that the United States has provided and continues to provide to Ukraine in its fight for freedom, independence, and security - not only its own, but that of all free nations.
Thank you, America. Thank you to every American heart that beats in solidarity with brave Ukrainian hearts fighting for independence.
I wish the United States and all Americans strength, unity, and unwavering belief in the triumph of good over evil, liberty over tyranny, and life over terror.

โNow, I conceive that the President ought not to have the power of pardoning, because he may frequently pardon crimes which were advised by himself. It may happen, at some future day, that he will establish a monarchy, and destroy the republic.โ โGeorge Mason, 1788

Happy REAL Independence Day! John Adams had it first...the vote to approve the Declaration was on July 2 and he wrote home to his wife Abigail with the news.
"But the Day is past. The Second Day of July 1776, will be the most memorable Epocha, in the History of America."

Now that @GothamChess is officially an adult improver, I think it's time to interview him for Chess Journeys. But he doesn't know I exist. Can we change that through a lot of likes? Probably not, but worth a try.

"We've been in total power for basically 20 years but everything still wrong in the state is somehow Democrats' fault."

Indiana deserves better than a Braun-Beckwith ticket that attacks healthcare professionals, women, & IVF, threatens LGBT rights, & takes away the freedom to read what you want with draconian book bans.
This election we can protect Hoosiersโ freedoms by electing @mccormickforgov.

#OTD in #History, 1775, #PaulRevere, William Dawes, & Samuel Prescott warned #Massachusetts' countryside, the British "Regulars are coming out." The tale has been mythicized, but the true story is just as inspiring; for it prepared our #Patriots for the onset of the #RevWar. #USA

I was fighting back tears. My sister Sofia from Israel and I had traveled from Budapest to Berlin to be part of "The Missing Player", an Israeli-German solidarity event for the release of hostages kidnapped 160 days ago. I wish the fighting was limited to the chessboard.๐

I am skeptical of all #education research. Particularly research in which sweeping claims of a single answer to questions about learning, pedagogy, literacy, and knowledge are made.

In both games and life, the board always gets reset.
Happens every morning when you wake up. Yesterday's results guarantee neither today's success nor failure.
The deck gets shuffled, the pieces return to their starting squares. Time to prove yourself again.

The issue of play โversusโ intentional teaching is one of the most pernicious false dichotomies in early childhood education.

I posted this yesterday, in relat to the debate on Twitter about discovery learning, critical thinking & the false binary between these things & teacher instruction. This shows both woven together, with indications of how a teacher could stretch students' thinking. @debrakidd

If a particular teaching strategy or idea isnโt to your taste, say โthanks but no thanksโ and move on. Thereโs no need to judge or snipe or belittle because of it. Thatโs snobbery, which I personally think is a problem in the teaching profession in general.
