A rumor on X claimed NYC Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani would require elementary students to “learn Arabic numerals.” That’s false — they already do. (They're just the digits 0-9.)

Mamdani isn't requiring NYC students to 'learn Arabic numerals.' They already do
You can't introduce something that has already been in use for centuries.

Listen to this BS from Duffy. (Whose aviation-world experience = zero.)
I know 1000 times as many controllers as he's ever met. OK, maybe only 100 times as many.
This is offensive beyond belief.

Still thinking about this story. Imagine how cooked your brain has to be on Fox News -- how terrified you have to be, every day in your isolated suburban castle -- to start *shooting* when you see brown people at your door, before the door is even open. We're such a nation of terrified cowards.

The shooting victim died from a gunshot wound to the head, the coroner's office said.

This is the easiest case for understanding gerrymandering. Salt Lake City, in the center of the state, is the only Dem leaning area in Utah. So GOPers divided the state into 4 districts, radiating out from SLC, cutting it into four quadrants, preventing the city from electing a Rep of their choice.

Would be like appointing me to judge the world lumberjack championships. (At which Duffy was the speed-climbing winner, in 1994.)

Two of the media organizations that have really "met the moment" in national coverage are Teen Vogue and WIRED.
Along with student-run college newspapers in general. And scores of local start-ups.

For any unfamiliar with the quality of journalism at Teen Vogue, it's well known for hard-hitting stories on "politically sensitive" topics including climate.
Then there's CBS: the only major network to increase climate coverage in the last few years. They just axed nearly their whole climate team.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.
certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.
