"Don’t adults bully other adults, too?" a student asked, as we were in a pivot from the positives of digital work to the dark corners of online bullying behaviors. My focus was on my young learners, making sure they have strategies in digital spaces. But of course, his question got to the heart of the current digital landscape of trolls, bots and more. "Yes, adults bully other adults, and it's terrible," I tell him, "so don't be like them. Make the world a better place." #smallstories

Eh, come on.

#TIL that #Vim can open URLs. It's relying on #cURL to do so.

...Which is a bit unfortunate. At least for me. After all I am a wgetarian. *ba-dum-tshh* @bagder

RIP #StanLee.

Decades ago you stood up to racism and bigotry, and over your lifetime entertained us and gave us our modern myths. Rest easy.
