ever since I learned about three-cueing I've developed infinitely more patience for replies on social media. mfers literally do not know how to read. people are walking around conjuring random meanings into words they don't know, and they don't know a lot of words. it's crazy

Police officers who publicly declare that they’ll quit if a mayoral candidate they dislike wins the election are (1) usually bluffing—sure buddy, toss away that paycheck and pension—and (2) exactly the sort of cops cities would be better off without, ones who don’t see themselves as public servants.

Forgive me if some of you have long ago sorted this out for yourselves. But I just realized that the problem with getting roasted by kids isn’t that they are so good at it — which, okay, some of them are — it’s that the adult is totally hamstrung! You cannot curse them out or break their spirit!

We really have destroyed the environment so much that this was of note.
Meet the water sommeliers: they believe H₂O can rival wine – but would you pay £19 a bottle?

A restaurant in the English county of Cheshire has launched a water menu, as have a number of US establishments. Is it really possible, though, to tell one terroir from another?

Ed Tech is a Trojan horse for tech elite capture of public resources. Every time.
Twenty years in education and I have seen so many things that were going to "save teachers time" and then it got weaponized into "if you don't use this, you're ruining your students' future" and usually when that mindless zealousness comes around it's less than a year for that tech to collapse.

It’s rigged. Middle America wants a chance again. Should’ve been the Cavs tho.
Ahem. *taps mic*
He would probably also want me to add something about how the NBA finals are being rigged so white people can root for a midwestern team (??) and that WNBA Caitlin Clark something something. But I haven’t followed that too much.

Lots of nostalgia for the golden age of magazines/expense accounts/travel and decadence. But whenever I take a spin through the Atlantic's archives, I yearn for the days of magazine writing where people were literally like, here is simply a piece of food/geography that exists

Same goes for NEA awardees, we never know when they'll try to pull this over there.
A few tips for NEH grantees:
1) if you've spent money on an awarded grant but have not yet drawn down the funds, make sure to submit the paperwork to drawn down funds ASAP.
2) the NYTimes article suggests that "DOGE" might cancel awards. If you receive an email from DOGE cancelling your NEH award,

Note to editors and producers: If an executive order demands action that is illegal or outside of the president’s authority, then you should not describe it as ordering something. You should say it seeks to achieve some outcome and then note it is illegal or beyond the power of the president.

Not sure how we get through all of this. It will require many of us to move completely differently, relate to people differently, make money differently, share differently.
But we gotta try.
