Duolingo’s stock dropped 26%, which means we only have 74% to go. The CEO is an anti-education, ai-loving, profit-maximizing bootlick. Let it rot. That owl is way too cool for the likes of Luis von Ahn.

All I know is something like a bird within her sang. All I know she sang a little while and then flew on.

We'll miss you, Donna Jean. You are now and forever one of the Grateful Dead.
💔 fare thee well, deej. 💔

A carpenter bee died in the night holding a lantana flower in our front yard. There are less lovely ways to go. #flowerreport

Well well well
Zohran Mamdani caught lying that he understood Plato’s allegory of the cave, yet when asked to explain it, he seemed to instead explain Baudrillard’s theory of Simulacra and Simulation where reality has been replaced by symbols and signs, which seems similar to Plato’s theory but is not the same

Honestly, I don't care what people seeking assistance at food banks do for a living, whether they work or not, what they drive, etc.

People are hungry. Give them food to eat. Plain and simple.

Landon’s rooting for the Dodgers because she thinks it’s bullshit that Toronto gets an MLB team but Mexico City doesn’t. I’m rooting for Toronto and pretending it’s Montreal and Pedro Martinez is still pitching (and throwing Don Zimmer on his face).

You're also not a sucker for believing in people. I get the sense that this needs to be stated from time to time.

Our park’s fundraiser is tonight. We have a little budget and a lot of lumber we need to buy to replace rotting boardwalks. So we throw a party. People love us. People support the good work.

Public education brought to you in part by hallucinating chatbots and the sellouts who support them.
