Cancel those plans, order that delivery, chase people off with your builder’s cubit and tell a bride she’s ugly. Light your menorah in descending order to remember that everything dies…do what you need to cope

Yup. To the absolute frustration of people I fly with, I refuse to pay for this privilege.
Sorry not sorry.
Zohran: "I mean, think about when you fly.  We have made it such a difficult experience to go through TSA that there's now a financial incentive to sign up for a separate program that can move you through it quicker. We have monetized the dysfunction."

Update. I spoke with the student.

"No, I didn't use AI. I mean, I didn't understand the article, so yeah, I did look it up. I just used Google. Well, I did use AI a little. It's just, I was confused..."

(Yes, teachable moment, what should you do if you're confused, what tools are available...)
But how can we know it's AI?!?!?

Sure. Sometimes you can't tell.

But I've been reading middle school writing for nearly two decades. I just read 27 "4-5 sentence summaries" of an article.
I absolutely can tell which one is AI.

if you'd asked me, "which of the three will oppose fascism in America, WaPo, the ADL, or the Catholic Church" I would not have gotten the answer right, but here we are.

One weekend that includes Halloween on Friday, World Series Game Seven on Saturday, and NYC Marathon on Sunday? It's just a lot.

Me, wearing a black top, a black and silver scarf, a black and gray skirt

Student: Is today a special day where we have to wear all black? Is it a sad day?

Me: No, I'm just a New Yorker and sometimes I wear a lot of black!

As a middle school teacher, I'm really excited to get further into my curriculum because already twice this year I've accidentally said, "Open your packets to pages six and seven and..."
"Six Seven!!" 😮‍💨

No, for real, though, here’s my proposal:

As soon as you crest into $1 billion, we throw you a party, congratulate you for winning the game, and then we build a bunch of affordable housing and you wake up tomorrow in an apartment with $1000 to your name.

When you win the game, it resets.

I love NYC because when my building's washing machine is down I can go a block away and wash my laundry somewhere else, and then wait at the bar above it with a beer while my laundry dries. But also, why aren't there more laundromat bars?! Come on, NYC!

Great moment this morning. I went to shul this morning for Rosh Chodesh Elul. We're finally at the end (it's going so slow...) and I'm rushing to finish Barchi Nafshi when I'm suddenly interrupted. Shofar!! I'd thought it was after L'David. Honestly it was fantastic.
Anyway, Chodesh Tov! 📯👑🌿

Seizure medication, wheelchairs, Social Security cards, dentures, urns of ashes, work uniforms — just some of what's been thrown away during cruel, degrading, utterly counterproductive homeless sweeps.

A good time to revisit this gutting @propublica.org story:

Oh look, ICE is copying literal Nazi recruiting propaganda again. The poster on the right is for the Volkssturm, the Nazi militia of older men and boys established during the final months of World War II.

An eloquent image:

Setting aside the content under the tarp for a moment, teens were asked to make art expressing what it is like to be a teen, and the end result was a mural wrapped in a tarp by adults.

I bet a lot of teens would find this expressive of their experience.

I went to a different location today. And after donating platelets I asked for one of the dry pack things and I got one! They offered an umbrella, too, but I declined.
