It’s currently 82 degrees in my classroom. Will we break 90 before the day is over? Stay tuned!

This product placement for sweet potatoes on Top Chef is so weird.

“Wait so if AI wastes water, why shouldn’t the people who use it just stop? It’s not that great, it doesn’t do anything special, we don’t need it.”

Great question, kid.

The sun is out, the air is (too) warm, elder millennials you know what to do.

In Arizona only, or anywhere?

I hate warm weather but my dog is delighted that sitting on the deck barking at neighbors season has returned.

Maybe if he actually paid attention in school and acquired knowledge and skills, as is the intended purpose of education, he would have known he couldn’t use Einstein’s name and likeness for his garbage site.

Everyone’s mentioning Inside Out and Up in the “of course Pixar movies are literally therapy” conversation but leaving out Turning Red? Soul?!

Congratulations to me for forgetting to change the clock in my car for so long that it’s about to be right again, and sorry to all my confused passengers for the last six months.

Honestly the answer totally varies. Many people wouldn’t have a problem with it, people who are more observant probably wouldn’t be doing something like that on Shabbat.

It’s bad!

My middle schoolers are all in on this gambling trash. They bet on everything and see it as their way to get rich. The kids who all used to want to be streamers now just want to bet on things. It’s awful.

For years we’ve told kids STEM is the only way, learn to code, etc and we’ve sacrificed the humanities along the way. Now AI took the coding jobs and we’re supposed to tell them to learn AI, but those jobs won’t exist soon either.

I think I’ll just keep teaching them learn to read and think.

That new ceo sure is doing everything but actually answering the questions about dropping their DEI programs and allowing ICE in their stores.

I’m not a business guy but trust me buddy, this approach is not bringing any of your customers back. You know what we want and you’re doing everything but.

I’m really tired of everything I use both for life and work asking me if I want an AI summary. I can read my email. I can read my messages on instagram. I can read news articles. I opened this app/website/whatever because I wanted to read the information. I CAN READ LEAVE ME ALONE.

Pop up from Firefox asking for permission to block all AI enhancements

Bless you, Firefox.

Mamdani having hamantaschen for Iftar makes me have all kinds of emotions and only one of them is jealousy because I did not have any hamantaschen.

The best thing that happened today was when a kid said something snarky to a girl in class and she immediately snapped “you’re going to talk to me like that during women’s history month? Really?”

Everything else was bad. But that was good.

The best thing about this season is how much the other ladies hate Amanda. It’s so fun to watch.

What do you call the Sunday Scaries when they’re combined with the existential dread of having to face children tomorrow and both comfort their fears AND debunk whatever TikTok misinformation they’ve been devouring all weekend?

Every day of BHM I’ve made my drill question someone important that I think my kids should know. It’s been a delight to tell them about Thurgood Marshall, Claudette Colvin, Shirley Chisholm, Muhammad Ali etc and have their full enraptured attention. But now I can’t decide who to pick for tomorrow!

The instagram astrologists said that today is going to be a crazy day so I guess good luck everyone?

Apparently protein Doritos are about to be a thing and seriously. That’s enough protein. There are no more places you can put protein. Please. Let us live.

Balcony? I dunno where the guests sit. But I would assume the president has a certain number of seats.

This is not based on knowledge just assumption- the cabinet and scotus have been invited by the house and have seats reserved and all the other seats are for congress. The president isn’t actually the one inviting people to hear him speak, it’s congress, so all guests have to be in the stands

Today a student asked me “ Do you know that sad old movie on Netflix, I think it’s called My Girl?“ To which I just shouted “his glasses! He can’t see without his glasses!“

True! I always like to pay someone for their art, but if I can’t find anything, I can try my hand at being creative, good idea!

I need someone artistic to make a poster I can hang in my classroom quoting Alysa Liu saying “I love struggling, actually,”
Currently the only ones I can find are “that’s what I’m f***ing talking about” which unfortunately is not school appropriate.

It appears that vh1 has started airing True Life episodes so I’ve set my dvr to record all for eternity but they’re currently in season 19 and it worries me that even they will never air the early seasons due to the music copyrights.

I want to know how much it costs but can’t get that far without giving up information. But someone please tell me how much college kids who are already paying kajillions of dollars for an education they are now going to avoid actually getting, are going to pay for this shit.
