I wonder if New Yorkers with cars will buy into this if they think it will make finding parking easier.

With your constraints, *I'd* probably teach a loose version of Statistics. It allows for a lot of flexibility to meet the needs and interests of a wide range of backgrounds.

Next yr I’ll be teaching a HS “math elective” class for kids who need to make up math credits. I can teach anything as long as it’s connected to the CCSS. Has anyone built a course like this? Any ideas of what would be most engaging for kids? Resources to pull from? I will have a wide range of kids…

Corporate Media Buries Story of US and Israel Killing 168 in Girls School Attack No front-page stories in NYT, WSJ, WaPo. No mention on NBC and CBS Sunday Shows. No stand alone segments on Evening News shows. A death count on par with the OKC bombing is relegated to the back page.

I wrote about how the US and Israel carried out an attack on an Iranian girls school on par with the OKC bombing and US media relegated it to a back page story. No stand alone evening news segments, no front page stories, it made A11 in the NYT then everyone moved on.

I'm not sure there's anything more heinous than bombing a school.

GOP: What if I told you we got that target from AI?

I also started high school a little after 7, and that's bananas. Our kids' K-8 school starts at 9:30 and it makes mornings so much more pleasant (and there is before care for parents who need to be at work earlier).

"Although chronic effects of remaining in daylight saving time...have not been well studied, DST is less aligned with human circadian biology"

I get why the switch is terrible, but I really don't understand why ST is better & would love a great science communicator to help me make sense of this. 😁

This is more of a guided discovery, so maybe not what you're looking for, and it requires some background knowledge with complex numbers, but feel free to use this/make it better.

I hadn't either!

I have lots of photo editing experience, but have wanted to get into video editing. I hope my first project brings you joy (it's best with audio).

Three things that aren't really a thing right above "True Crime" 😂

I've spent much of my adult life supporting people in cities subsidizing things like this for people in rural areas. But the broad lack of interest in the opposite (e.g. rural people subsidizing public transit funding, urban education funding, etc) makes this viewpoint harder & harder to maintain.

And 91 ***thousand*** citations in 5-months, mostly coming from only 33 cameras, is pretty convincing evidence that we are in the midst of a public health crisis when it comes to cars speeding.

I have a hard time empathizing too much with complaints about the burden of being given, due to nothing more than circumstance and chance, a seven-figure asset.

I'd be happy to unburden anyone who finds it to be just too much. 😂

While there are huge political and technical challenges, I'm convinced that a Brightline type train from the bay area to Truckee or South Lake Tahoe could be profitable (while also believing that this should exist even if it weren't profitable).

Weird. For some reason I haven't heard anything about a new "recall the DA" campaign from people so worried about crime in SF.

See cops towards the top of that list? Those salaries don't include overtime pay, which is pretty much non-existent for teachers & can be greater than the base salary for officers (recently the highest paid city official was a sheriff deputy who made hundreds of thousands of dollars *in overtime*.

Also, lol

"Generally, teachers work 35 hours a week when school is in session"

Here's the part I'm interested in...

What are the structures that need(ed) to be in place so that this feedback could be shared by an observer, and then heard and acted on by a teacher?

"The superintendent chided union officials for not staying overnight."

The union was at the bargaining table waiting for the district's proposal until 1am. What exactly is Superintendent Su hoping for here? Should teachers be bringing tents and sleeping bags?

And now do city workers vs L3 software engineers.

I always found the question "What do you want to be when you grow up?" a little like asking a kid which classmate they plan to marry (the latter question being very creepy and the former being totally normal).

This makes me so sad (and mad).

Did he give the Grammy to Liam??

God Bless America(s).

I'm really sorry, Sara. This sounds like a lot.

Just received a loooong email from my city supervisor about....

the Super Bowl.

The email included a whole section giving advice to businesses on what to call the Super Bowl without calling it the Super Bowl. 🤷‍♂️

Correction: I just read that the mayor released a video yesterday. “I have been in regular contact with both the school district and the teachers union, and I am urging them to keep talking so kids can keep learning.”

And my mayor is in the midst of doing a victory tour of how much better San Francisco is now than it was when he took office, yet I haven't heard anything about how all this winning will help fully fund our public schools.
