It is gonna be so funny watching the NYC bajillionaires scramble to get appointments with Mayor Mamdani after they all insisted they were gonna move to Florida if he won. First of all, most of you already have places in FL and claim it as your primary resident so you don’t have to pay NYC taxes

We definitely have red-tailed hawks in NYC as well as other types of hawks. I think if you're in an urban area with a good number of rats and/or squirrels, hawks will make their way there. This guy or gal came to visit me in the East Village. You can often see hawks in nearby Tompkins sq park, too.

Does anyone remember the discontinued frozefruit bar flavors?

A Running List of Policies Rejected From the Republican Megabill So far, the parliamentarian has determined that dozens of provisions do not pass muster to be included.

And if you start feeling down, go look at what an enormous hole one human being has blown in their plans. (A lot of painful stuff still in there, but look what's been taken out.)

Mark Zuckerberg in a hoodie.

Trayvon Martin in a hoodie.

Just look at how we view hoodies. On Mark Zuckerberg, the hoodie is a symbol of whiz kid meritocracy breaking norms and developing the New Economy. On people like Trayvon Martin, the hoodie is sometimes seen as proof of criminality. Again, it's about the bodies beneath the clothes.

I’d like to speak up

They need him to be a genius because they cannot handle what it means for them to be tricked by a fool.

Kendrick Lamar’s Multilayered Halftime Show Was About Far More Than Just a Rap Beef To dismiss the performance as the squandering of a global platform in service of nursing a petty grievance is to miss the significance of exactly what he is saying.

You know how you fight misinformation? You teach kids how to vet sources. This is vital regardless of what apps come and go.

There will always be snake oil peddlers. There doesn’t always have to be a plethora of willing consumers.

@edusky.bsky.social How do my edusky people feel about mandated curriculum? We have it for the first time in NYC high schools.

This is awesome-- thank you so much!

Would you be able to share an example of a sentence pattern chart?

We tried implementing hochman at our school last year. I think the ideas are good and could be really helpful to students, but it almost feels like an unfinished idea when implementing it in content classes for h.s. students. Have you taught it or observed the strategies taught really well ?

Name a show you're positive no one remembers but you.

I love this idea! I'm going to do this with my classes, too. Thanks for sharing!

I won't live in denial, but this time around, I also won't live in rage and fear. You cannot let the actions of corrupt and powerful men steal your joy and cloud your mind with despair. There have always been and always will be corrupt and powerful men. Secure your air masks. Life your life. Fight.

Sending love to all my teacher friends this Friday after a week of hell from some of the adults in this country.

Just remember kids are always better than us.
