I don’t think it is an exaggeration to say this is the emptiest I have ever seen the Mall for a widely publicized event. The Smithsonian Folk Life Festival is much more packed than this

Learn who Melissa Hortman was, and what was taken from us.

Boris Kodjoe accidentally stepped on my foot in Times Square and we were both surprised. Nicole Arí Parker nicely said “apologize!” and we both awoke from our momentary stupor, he apologized, and I said something like “no worries, Boris Kodjoe”

I deeply hope Sly Stone and Brian Wilson rest well. They gave us whole worlds. 💚

I cannot stop wheezing

must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away

I think most of us value growth mindset and the idea of revision in our classrooms. I also know that making a culture of revision a reality is really hard/overwhelming to do. (But when it works? It can do so much good.) thebrokencopier.substack.com/p/a-culture-...

I took HBO’s “which Deadwood Character Are You?” quiz. Click here to take the quiz.

The rules of strategic ranked-choice voting are these: 1. Rank the people you like in order of how much you like them. 2. Fill out the lower rungs of the ballot with people you're meh about, if necessary. 3. Don't rank the candidates you despise. That's it. That's all the strategy you need.

Everyone’s reminder that it would be a terrible choice to vote for Cuomo for NYC Mayor and this is why! Don’t say I didn’t tell you! youtu.be/LB4gqnUfp-k?...

Tell your friend - don't include Cuomo in your ranked choice vote - it's important!

Most folks don't understand how many things were made possible by federal research funding (e.g., Google). Here are 50 of them, and it barely scratches the surface. (The list is from 2020 and, ironically, includes Tesla.)🧪 stacker.com/stories/busi...

The problem with forcing countries to create a new world without you is that once they've done so, they aren't going back

Check out this video of trump introducing Charles Schwab. If you listen carefully, trump says that he made $2.5B while the guy next to him made $900M. This was posted by Margot Martin, special assistant to trump. The tariff stunt was, at least partially, market manipulation.
