Yeah, this is Horvath again. My biggest complaint about his research is that it is almost entirely correlation. Horvath specifically blames “edtech” as the reason for the decline, completely glossing over what this article seems to claim as the cause, short form videos and content. Not to mention all of the other societal shifts during this time, like the effects of No Child Left behind on schools.

Anytime I see this guy trotted out and his claims said as fact I just can’t take the article seriously.

Wasn’t it a year or two ago that all of the Republican governors were sending these immigrants to “blue cities.” And now the Trump administration is raiding all of those blue cities? I’m not much of a conspiracy theorist, but these two seem connected.

The best muppet movies by far are:

Muppet Treasure Island - because Tim Curry acted like a Muppet.

The Muppet Christmas Carol - because Michael Caine acted like the Muppets were true actors.
