In 1948, the beloved children’s game Candy Land was created in a hospital polio ward by retired schoolteacher Eleanor Abbott. She designed it as a cheerful diversion for sick children and later donated all her royalties to support children in need.

Within about 3 miles of the touchdown last night, and thankful for no injuries in the area.
An EF-0 tornado touched down in Shawnee Friday night, tracking across I-35 and into Westport near the Sun Fresh. The tornado was on the ground for more than 10 minutes and produced winds up to 75 mph, downing trees along its path. No injuries were reported. #mowx #kswx #kcwx

Something I’ll never understand about this era — people will burn down relationships with real life friends or family members…for a politician? Or a podcaster? Someone they’ve never met and who doesn’t care about them at all and they’ll toss real friends away.

College students increasingly support banning laptops from classrooms. Multifunction screens fragment attention and block learning. Computers and tablets do not belong on students' desks, and especially not in K-12. https://t.co/2lDNYCd5Yt

Most schools stopped teaching kids to memorize multiplication tables. They called it “old fashioned.” 🙄 It’s actually one of the most damaging things they did to math education. Without automatic recall, kids hit a wall in fractions, algebra, and everything after. At Alpha
My daughter used to hate FastMath and would do it last, and often not at all. Today, with the changes, she chatted excitedly on the way to school about how she was going to do FastMath first and something about blasts and ghosties. Thank you all for continuing to improve my

The goat is the G.O.A.T of vegetation management.
