Keen On Democracy
No, It's Not Only Social Media: Ross Greene on Why Our Kids Aren't Okay

"We didn't have to grow up with that." — Ross Greene, on school shootingsOne of the most persistent worries these days is that our kids aren't okay. With most of the blame, of course, now being placed on the ubiquity of social media. But psychologist Ross W. Greene, author of the bestselling Lost at School, has a new book out today called The Kids Who Aren't Okay which doesn't place all the blame on social media. Indeed he argues that if we focus only on the internet, we'll fail to understand the broader psychological struggle that many of our kids face today.It's not that Greene is in total denial about the destructive nature of social media. But none of his leading reasons for today's crisis in schools are associated with technology. His top three:●      School shootings●      High-stakes testing●      Zero-tolerance policies with a focus on punishment rather than empathyThe new book, Greene impishly promises, has things in it that will offend just about anybody on both the left and right. He calls out teacher unions for failing to support legislation against restraints and seclusions—pinning kids to the ground, dragging them to locked rooms. And he criticizes both parties for bipartisan policies that have made it harder for educators to educate.The definition of good teaching, Greene insists, is meeting every kid where they're at. Standard testing is exactly the opposite. If you try to treat everybody exactly the same, he warns, you will meet nobody where they're at. We need to get busy teaching kids how to collaborate on solving problems, he says—otherwise they'll turn out like us—only worse. Five Takeaways●      Social Media Isn't in the Top Three: Greene's top factors making it harder to be a kid: school shootings, high-stakes testing, and zero-tolerance policies. If we focus only on social media, he says, we'll miss the rest of the picture.●      We're Still Pinning Kids to the Ground: Schools still use restraints and seclusions—pinning kids down, dragging them to locked rooms. Legislation has been available since 2011. The two largest teacher unions have yet to support it.●      High-Stakes Testing Is the Opposite of Good Teaching: Good teaching means meeting every kid where they're at. Telling every kid they have to get over the same bar by the end of the school year is exactly not what the doctor ordered.●      Fairness Means Treating Every Kid Differently: If you try to treat everybody exactly the same, you will meet nobody where they're at. Meeting each kid where they are isn't unfair to the rest—it's fair to everyone.●      This Book Will Offend Just About Anybody: Greene calls out both political parties, teacher unions, and policies on both sides of the aisle. Somebody's got to wade in, he says. Somebody's got to call it. About the GuestRoss W. Greene, PhD is the author of Lost at School and The Explosive Child. He is the founder of the nonprofit Lives in the Balance and the inventor of the Collaborative and Proactive Solutions approach. He has worked with nearly 3,000 kids and their caregivers.ReferencesBooks mentioned:●      The Kids Who Aren't Okay by Ross W. Greene — his new book on reimagining support, belonging, and hope in schools.●      Lost at School by Ross W.

This recomposition begins from a deep interest and curiosity towards the material life of the archival recording itself. The source comes from the sound collections of the Pitt Rivers Museum: wax cylinder recordings of Naga (Angami, Sümi, Lotha, Chang, and Sangtam) songs recorded between 1915 and 1919 by administrator and anthropologist John Hutton. Rather than treating the recording of a polyphonic song as a transparent document of the past, I approached it as a dense and opaque sonic field — one in which voice, noise, damage, and time are inseparably entangled.My primary impulse was to draw sound from within the crackles itself. The surface noise of the wax cylinder — its dense abrasions, hiss, fizz, and granular distortions — became a site of listening rather than an obstruction to clarity. Using filtering, time-stretching, modulation, reverberation, and layering, I created a series of tracks foregrounding the submerged voices and textures, amplifying tonalities already present within the recording rather than introducing external material. The duration of the piece remains close to the original, but the sound is folded back onto itself, allowing latent frequencies and resonances to emerge from the polyphonies. The recordings being done in colonial contexts.Conceptually, the work is informed by Mark Fisher's essay on the metaphysics of the crackle, and the persistence of the past as sonic residue, as well as Halim El-Dabh's pioneering experiments with wire recording and mystique concrete. El-Dabh's Wire Recorder piece in which he searches for an “inner sound” within the field recordings of the zaar ceremony offered a crucial precedent: the idea that recording technologies can open audio not just to preservation, but to transformation and speculative listening.The opacity of the recording is crucial to the work. Its moments of unintelligibility are not simply technical blockages but reminders of a colonial listening context or as Dylan Robinson frames it in settler colonial contexts as “hungry listening” in which certain meanings, affects, and knowledges may never have been available — or intended to be available — to the colonial ear. What resists comprehension here becomes a form of sonic refusal, insisting on limits to extraction, transcription, and understanding.The composition thus becomes less a restoration than a re-listening — an attempt to stay with the archive's fractures, and to hear how voice, history, and material decay co-produce one another across time."Kukimi Lakuhu 'Le" (Song of the Kuki War) reimagined by bloop.———Part of the project A Century of Sounds, reimagining 100 sounds covering 100 years from the collections of the Pitt Rivers Museum at the University of Oxford.

Slower-than-hoped for duck seasons make for tough post-season social media discussions among duck hunters. Some says it's flooded corn further north of them. Others say there's other death-by-a-thousand-cut reasons. And since it's sometimes hard--and exhausting-- to make sense of my-way-or-the-highway arguing online, why not let listeners hear varied perspectives? Decide for themselves. Everyone was invited. Some declined. Today's guests include: Natalie Krebs, an Outdoor Life reporter that responded to Sen. Kennedy's letter with some deep-dive research; Hunter Lemoine, a Louisiana duck hunter that wants to improve duck hunting in his home state and is doing something about it; Dr. Bradley Cohen, a waterfowl research scientist that knows a thing or 3 about migratory habits and corn's local influence; Bill Cooksey, a former National Wildlife Federation employee that worked on the Vanishing Paradise initiative; and Brad Bortner, a former chief of migratory birds that sheds light on what the proposed corn study could possibly look like from a federal agency perspective.

Imagine this: You're walking past a shallow pond and spot a toddler thrashing around in the water, in obvious danger of drowning. You look around for her parents, but nobody is there. You're the only person who can save her and you must act immediately. But as you approach the pond you remember that you're wearing your most expensive shoes. Wading into the water will ruin them - and might make you late for a meeting. Should you let the child drown? The philosopher Peter Singer published this thought experiment in 1972, arguing that allowing people in the developing world to die, when we could easily help them by giving money to charity, is as morally reprehensible as saving our shoes instead of the drowning child. Can this possibly be true? In Death in a Shallow Pond, David Edmonds tells the remarkable story of Singer and his controversial idea, tracing how it radically changed the way many think about poverty - but also how it has provoked scathing criticisms.David Edmonds is a brilliant philosophical and biographical writer, not to mention an OG philosophy podcaster - if you haven't checked out any of Philosophy Bites's nearly 400 episodes then you definitely should - and ex-BBC broadcaster. His latest book is about the fascinating history of a philosophical thought experiment, from its origins in the work of Peter Singer through its influence on the Effective Altruism movement. In this conversation we focus on some of the philosophical questions surrounding this thought experiment: is it, as Singer claims, analogous to our own position with regard to distant others, and does it have the practical implications that he and the Effective Altruists have taken it to have?Ethics Untangled is produced by IDEA, The Ethics Centre at the University of Leeds.Bluesky: @ethicsuntangled.bsky.socialFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/ideacetlLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/idea-ethics-centre/

Donald Trump has waded into the battle to buy Warner Bros. Discovery. Paramount Skydance has launched a hostile bid for company in a last ditch effort to outbid Netflix. The offer would be worth about NZ$188 billion compared to the $125 billion Netflix has been offering. US Correspondent Richard Arnold told Heather du Plessis-Allan that this level of presidential involvement is new, with Trump saying he'll look at both proposals. He says Trump has said that neither company are particularly great friends of his, so it's unknown as to what his approval will hinge on.

Focus on the feeling: When interpreting a dream, remember the feeling it left you with and bring that authentic feeling to God in your morning devotions. Invest in your spiritual outfitting: Don't use "cheap" spiritual tools to navigate relational issues. Actively seek God's wisdom, comfort, and armor to handle life's challenges with integrity. Trust God for justice: Follow King David's example by crying out to God for justice in difficult situations, rather than taking matters into your own hands. Withhold your emotions, hands, and words, and trust God to bring forth His perfect resolve. Choose love over retaliation: When immersed in "murky waters," resist the temptation to respond with negative behavior. Instead, stand firm in the fullness of God's love. Embrace growth opportunities: View difficult patches and seasons as a chance for personal growth and maturity that will equip you to walk in the purpose God has for you. Reflections: take a moment to reflect on your own "hip waders." Are they feeling protected and grounded, or are they getting soaked? We are invited to seek God's wisdom and put on the durable spiritual gear He provides. Our prayer is for healing and transformation for those facing deep waters in their lives.

Dylan's company Freight Essentials was wrongfully terminated from agency, and his customers were lied to about it. WWEX Group fought tooth and nail to redact a lot of evidence, but thanks to astute journalist Kelly Barner, she did some digging. "Wading through documents riddled with redactions is frustrating, but one recent filing manages to run 266 pages without a single redaction. There are quite a few examples where past redacted information seems to be revealed in this newer filing."In this episode Dylan breaks down exactly how much deeper this case goes, and how the agency model in brokerage is actually putting unnecessary costs onto carriers and consumers.Need truck parking?

Wetlands play a critical role in protecting communities from climate change, but restoring and sustaining them in a shifting climate is no easy task. In this episode of People, Places, Planet, host Dara Albrecht examines the impact of climate change on wetland sites through the lens of compensatory mitigation, a process through which developers offset permitted impacts to wetlands and streams by funding or conducting ecological restoration elsewhere, and how, if at all, mitigation practitioners are responding to ensure climate resiliency in their projects. Guests Dr. Meghan Halabisky, Dave Groves, and Karen Johnson bring different perspectives to the table: Halabisky offers a scientific overview of how climate change is impacting wetlands, while Groves and Johnson discuss the regulatory and practical constraints and opportunities that practitioners are facing. The conversation covers site planning, ecological monitoring, and the tension between policy requirements and the realities of climate adaptation. Rather than prescribing easy solutions, the episode explores the complexities of ensuring long term sustainability at mitigation sites experiencing climate change.  ★ Support this podcast ★

I'm your host, Kate Shaw. This week we're going to learn about three large birds with long legs that spend a lot of time wading through shallow water, suggested by Ryder, Alexandria, and Simon. Wading birds tend to share traits even if they're not closely related, because of convergent evolution. In order to wade in water deep enough to find food, a wading bird needs long legs. Then it also needs a long neck so it can reach its food more easily. A long beak helps to grab small animals too. Having big feet with long toes also helps it keep its footing in soft mud. Let's start with Ryder's suggestion, the goliath heron. It's the biggest heron alive today, standing up to 5 feet tall, or 1.5 meters. That's as tall as a person! It only weighs about 11 lbs at most, though, or 5 kg, but its wingspan is over 7 ½ feet across, or 2.3 meters. It's a big, elegant bird with a mostly gray and brown body, but a chestnut brown head and neck with black and white streaks on its throat and chest. The goliath heron lives throughout much of sub-Saharan Africa, meaning south of the Sahara Desert, anywhere it can find water. It's happy on the edge of a lake or river, in a swamp or other wetlands, around the edges of a water hole, or even along the coast of the ocean. It usually stands very still in the water, looking down. When a fish swims close enough, the heron stabs it with its bill, pulls it out of the water, and either holds it for a while until the bird is ready to swallow the fish, or sometimes it will even set the fish down on land or floating vegetation for a while. It's not usually in a big hurry to swallow its meal. Sometimes that means other birds steal the fish, especially eagles and pelicans, but the goliath heron is so big and its beak is so sharp that most of the time, other birds and animals leave it alone. The goliath heron will also eat frogs, lizards, and other small animals when it can, but it prefers nice big fish. It can catch much bigger fish than other wading birds, and eating big fish is naturally more energy efficient than eating small ones. If a goliath heron only catches two big fish a day, it's had enough to eat without having to expend a lot of energy hunting. This is what a goliath heron sounds like: [goliath heron call] Alexandria's suggestion, the roseate spoonbill, is also a big wading bird, but it's very different from the goliath heron. For one thing, it's pink and white and has a long bill that's flattened and spoon-shaped at the end. It's only about half the size of a goliath heron, with a wingspan over 4 feet across, or 1.3 meters, and a height of about 2 ½ feet, or 80 cm. That's still a big bird! It mostly lives in South America east of the Andes mountain range, but it's also found in coastal areas in Central America up through the most southern parts of North America. Unlike the goliath heron, which is solitary, the roseate spoonbill is social and spends time in small flocks as it hunts for food. It likes shallow coastal water, swamps, and other wetlands where it can find it preferred food. That isn't fish, although it will eat little fish like minnows when it catches...

  Captain Branden Collier and Matthew Isbell (Bama Beach Bum). Captain Branden discusses wade fishing and near-shore fishing, noting that sheepshead fishing is slowing down but still productive. He shared tips about fishing techniques, baits like worms and crabs, and recommended looking for areas with bait activity and structure. Matthew Isbell focused on beach fishing, particularly pompano and flounder. He described challenges with recent rain and wind affecting water conditions, and shared a detailed technique for flounder fishing involving using a tandem rig with two paddle tails and a unique slow-reel presentation that significantly increased his catch. Both guests provided insights into current fishing conditions along the Alabama coast, discussing water temperatures, bait strategies, and promising fishing locations. For the offshore report, Captain Kendall Annan from Gulf Rebel Charters discusses his recent fishing trips in the Orange Beach Gulf Shores area. Despite windy conditions, he successfully targeted bottom fish like bee liners, white snapper, triggerfish, and tuna. He faced challenges due to a full moon phase, heavy currents, and fatigue among his clients. They caught over 130 bottom fish, including large blackfin tuna. Captain Kendall emphasized the importance of using descending devices to release out-of-season fish, which significantly reduces predation. He also highlighted the effectiveness of live bait and jigging techniques.    Sponsors:   Salts Gone CCA Alabama Shoreline Plastics Southeastern Pond Management Test Calibration Alabama Marine Resources Angelo Depaola EXP Realty "The Coastal Connection" KillerDock Fishbites Hilton's Offshore Charts Pure Flats- The Slick Lure Gulf Shores and Orange Beach Tourism Foster Contracting - Fortified Roofing Bucks Island Return Em Right AFTCO Texas Hunter Products Bucks Island Hiltons Realtime Navigator Dixie Supply and Baker Metal Works The Obsession Outdoors Survival at Sea Tohatsu East Pass Broadbill Open BOW Bluewater Marine Service Saunders Yachtworks
