This should be obvious but apparently we have to say it: keep AI out of children's toys. Our kids should not be used as a social experiment. This partnership is reckless and dangerous. Mattel should announce immediately that it will NOT sell toys that use AI.

Everyone: don't rank Cuomo, a serial groping disgraced grandmother killer New York Times: don't rank Mamdani, a visionary young man

If you rank Zohran 1st you’re voting to make every New York Times Opinion writer insane for several years.

One thing that stood out really powerfully in last night's mayoral debate is that Zohran Mamdani and Brad Lander both operate from the premise that New York City is a wonderful and beautiful and precious place. Andrew Cuomo does not.

I'm proud I don't have Andrew Cuomo's record of corruption, scandal and disgrace. And the name is M-A-M-D-A-N-I.

It’s been a long day of bargaining with Vox Media, fighting hard to get a fair contract with better salaries, AI protections, the inclusion of the Dodo in our union, and much more. Come tomorrow, there’s only two days left in our contract — Vox Media, stop dragging your feet.

Ooof I made a TikTok about Rockland County voting and how the votes might actually not be rigged because of the Orthodox Jewish Voting bloc and it immediately did numbers and I ended up having to make another video at 1am so yeah that’s a new one for me.

the fact that people were told “today you are going to an elementary school to lie to teachers and kidnap kids” and didn’t immediately tell their bosses to go fuck themselves is all you need to know about why ICE should be dismantled

Regular liberal people must come to understand that there is no way you can appease Nazis and especially that there is no way that you can shrink yourself so they won't hurt you. Their main goal is to hurt you.

"Yes, Cuomo is awful, but I have some policy differences with the progressives, so this is hard." This is not hard. What you do is, you set aside your precious little checklist, and YOU DON'T VOTE FOR THE AWFUL PERSON.

WOW. The Trump admin said they will review social media and deny immigration benefits to people saying antisemitic claims. They're even trying to deport people with green cards on alleged claims of antisemitism. Anyway, here's a tweet from an Afrikaner they flew here on Monday.

They want more MOMS at home. And not just because they hate women. Their economic model depends on unpaid labor. And the most effective way to coerce unpaid labor is to create a second class of people and teach them that they're only "naturally" suited for labor they're forced to do for free.

"Chicago Pope" is like a 1994 SNL sketch. Airs at 12:20am, the only gag is that Chris Farley has a mustache and is doing a big accent. David Spade and the guest host (Joe Mantegna) keep breaking during it.

I got the best teaching evals of my career for a large course last semester— along with three teaching awards— after rebuilding my intro class around in-class handwritten essays. I simply do not believe that this is unsolvable or that students don't care about actually learning to do their work.

I'm having a bit of trouble with a current social cue, can anyone help? If I respond to your text with a "!!" It's because I found what you said shocking or surprising. Lately, I've been texting, what I think is, benign statements only to be met with "!!" reactions. Is it commiserating or...?
