I hope people share their responses publicly. Maybe a contest for the best ones?

I appreciate brutalist design and I also appreciate complex film. The first half sets up an engaging story of an artist in his time. Then it gets silly and unjustified in its plot choices (and says little about architecture) even if it is brutally obvious. It ends with a sophomoric, blatant thesis.

Why is it a good thing for parents to get panicked messages from their kids that something terrible may or may not be happening that they can't do anything about? This is a great example of Americans not addressing the real problem and focusing on an irrelevancy.

Thanks for your note. I enjoyed your photos! I'm the principal at a small international school in Seoul, Korea and I also teach the creative writing class.

Felt good about persuading some of my students to take a more humane and compassionate approach to some of their peers.

My students wrote some cool poem drafts and gave each other good feedback. Yay!

People way underestimate luck (including being born white and male) way overestimate their own "merit" and way underestimate how many people are pretty much equally qualified for any job besides NBA player.

Remember the core of the problem is that the purpose of the algorithm is advertising. It seems to have a nefarious purpose, and it certainly has nefarious effects, but in the end it's just Madison Ave. I can imagine good and useful algorithms; but selling me stuff wouldn't be the design purpose.

If you want to correlate the outcomes of public education with the political situation we're in right now, it's worth noting that most of the people who voted for Trump graduated 30 to 50 years ago and most of the people who graduated in the last 10 to 20 years voted for Biden.

I think progressives can make a lot of progress with protecting and growing Medicare. Starting with everyone from birth to age 18 is now on Medicare and/or everyone 55 and up is now on Medicare. Everyone agrees that private medical insurance is a rip off even if they have good insurance like I do.
