When I taught (16yrs ago 😭) I used to mention I would’ve been called in the first lottery in 1969.

Historical Brad would’ve likely been dead (or severely injured) by the next Christmas

The idea that we need to give students (HS or even college) access to AI tools to complete work because it will make them "unprepared" feels false in the most obvious way.

Every 30-45 year old *did not* have AI tools in their lives and we all seem to be doing just fine.

Einstein developed the theory of relativity with a pen and paper -- my 2nd grader doesn't need an iPad for math class.

"But Brad," you say "its Wacky because its Tuesday and *not* on Wednesday"

And I would reply fuck you. You're wrong.

My 4yr old's Pre-K is doing Doctor Suess week and he refused to dress up for wacky week -- which I support.

Because today is Tuesday. Wacky day should be on Wednesday, ala the book (one of my favorites).

The simple solution here is just draft a local-specific version with Good Cause as the bones.

Oh, you don't like the increase range, change it.
Oh you don't like the conditions, fix them.

Not protecting tenants is the problem and the Council is willfully hurting its constituency

Snow melt day perfectly summarizes living in CNY:

So happy the snow is finally gone.

Constantly complaining how everything now looks terrible and dirty.

Adnauseam times per week I have to hear people complain about "why do people walk in the streets" without realizing that the streets are clean and plowed and the sidewalks are halfway up peoples shins 50% of the time (at best).

Pro: AI will proof your emails

Con: AI creates an algorithm that dictates a dystopian world in which all pricing is dynamic and responsive to your habits
