Extreme pedestrian, woke liberal union mob teacher and proud of it, she/her, SF
Many teachers have had repeated experiences with Waymos harassing classes crossing at a crosswalk, so I think maybe it's that Waymos' programming hates children

Scratch a tech fascist, find a dude who is still mad his third grade teacher made him share the class markers and stop throwing pencils at his classmates

I have cooked an entire Thanksgiving for as many as 24 people and it is not fun! It's a ton of work even with help. But none of the traditional dishes are actually that hard to do well. It does help to buy a good turkey though.

Knowing this much about Enron is going to come in real handy soon, I can feel it!

Just want to reiterate: Arnold is a shitty trader! It's dubious that he ever traded successfully: he was down as much as 100m at times. And that's with market manipulation and the ability to see every energy trade as it happened. Dude wasn't even good at the thing that made him money.

UBS closed the book, John took his millions and started a foundation, and I'm here to tell you that he is directly responsible for the CA energy crisis, Enron's collapse, and hundreds of thousands destroyed 401ks. He's a bad person with dumb insights and we should treat him like one.

John and his fellow traders demanded millions of bonus pay after Enron's collapse, as its rank and file got less than nothing. John and his trading book went to UBS, and it ends up he lost even more money without Enron's platform letting him see all trades.

Apparently chain locations have monthly limits on how much they're allowed to get each month because stimulant meds are still controlled like they're fentanyl

In SFUSD right now, if an online assessment decides a K won't be reading fluently by the end of the year, that kid's teacher is directed to put them in front of an online AI tutor until they shape up. This is bad! And bad standards are in part to blame.
November 24, 2025 at 3:54 PM
These kids get more drill and kill, and in my districts teachers are pushed to sit them in front of a screen to interact with an AI reading tutor. It's not what they need, and the driving force is unrealistic academic standards.

The article is incoherent and victim-blaming. Still, I teach K and under current standards, kids who don't read at the end of the year are considered at risk. Some kids aren't reading at the end of K because they're 5 and they're not ready, but our system doesn't account for that.

Yet she's right about reading here. If we want more play and less testing in schools, holding children to standards not in line with child development isn't the way to get there.

What, the sun rising at 9:30 and setting five hours later doesn't appeal? But yeah, summer in Finland was great and don't skip taking the ferry to Tallinn for a couple of days at least

So does Helsinki - zero pedestrian deaths in 2024 and the main transit center looks like this

The street begins in front of the children's museum he funded into existence, truly an amazing dude
