I can't believe how expensive groceries are rn. $14 for cherries and $4 for two nectarines when they're still in season. $7 for plain hummus.
Then you turn around and there are endless walls of sugary prepackaged food covered in cheese goo for dirt cheap.
I'm so tired of America sucking.

We live in a time where a sitting US President is using every lever of government to extort universities.
Absolutely disgusting.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:
1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long
All lies.

I once asked a scientist whom I respect enormously her advice for a successful career and life in science.
Her advice: Leave every place better than you found it.
It surprises me that many people would try hard to do the compete opposite …
and we would elect them to run the country.

Over the past 20 years, Paris has undergone a major physical transformation, trading automotive arteries for bike lanes, adding green spaces and eliminating 50,000 parking spaces.
Part of the payoff has been invisible — in the air itself.

Paris said au revoir to cars. Air pollution maps reveal a dramatic change.
Air pollution fell substantially as the city restricted car traffic and made way for parks and bike lanes.

If you think it’ll stop at Columbia and Harvard, you’re wrong. If you think it won’t go beyond universities to infiltrate all schools, you’re wrong. If you think it won’t demand compliance at media, medical, and non-profit organizations, you’re wrong. Fascism is here. Fight it.

They are arresting people on the streets, terminating their visas, and disappearing them for writing things they disagree with. This is where we are. Two months in. Right now. If you think they won’t begin coming after citizens soon, you are mistaken.

Recently took a peek at Twitter and the disinformation is getting substantially more dangerous. Someone could get killed.
The tactics of constantly repeating outright lies, targeting specific people, repurposing years-old footage and presenting them as new is getting to another level. It’s scary.

I was talking to colleagues yesterday about the logistics of attending parties in college pre-Uber, and they were shocked. Also taxis that only took cash, not card.
But anyone in Boston in the early 2010s would tell you how navigate based on the Citgo sign.

This is how my IB exams were administered. History was six open ended essays across two days. English was a recorded vocal discussion on a question pulled out of a hat.
In this ChatGPT era, a new challenge is to frame questions that help teachers evaluate what students have learned. We may have to return to open ended essays written in class.
