I cannot tell you how grim the AI in higher ed situation is. Many of the students have completely surrendered to letting AI do their homework, badly, I might add. How do you fix this? Truly, what the hell do we do, beyond what grading can address, which isn't a solution?

The Rohingya, Gaza, and Two Genocides the World Refuses to End As I watch Gaza, I can't help but think about what's been inflicted on the Rohingya in Myanmar and the role Israel has played in it, writes Burmese activist Maung Zarni.

Today we learned Andrew Cuomo is directly coordinating with Donald Trump, even as this President sends masked agents to rip our neighbors off the streets and guts the social services so many New Yorkers rely on.

It’s disqualifying and a betrayal of our city.

I don’t want to support the NYT anymore which means no longer playing Wordle & connections - my favs. What quick, fun games do you all like to play?

You can’t call yourself a cycling community without fat Black women And who gets to call themselves a cyclist, anyway?

"The story of cycling must include all of us those who ride fast and those who ride slow, those who ride for joy and those who ride out of necessity. That’s how we build a cycling community that’s not just diverse in theory, but inclusive and transformative in practice."

Huh, so it *wasn't* about antisemitism. I'm shocked. Shocked!

The goal all along has been destroying higher education. They have said so explicitly. And we've had media outlets carry water for lies about "protecting Jewish students."

I'd just like to point out how weird it is that places with hundreds or even thousands of reporters β€” the NYT, WaPo, CBS, NBC, AP, etc. β€” are all getting pummeled on every major story by the dozen computerboys at Wired. To fumble the bag this consistently is, at some point, cowardice and a choice.

Little Haiti is vibrant. And it’s facing the same cost of living crisis as neighborhoods across the city.

That's why Brooklyn Chair Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn and I are bringing the Democratic Party together around a shared vision for an affordable New York. I am grateful for her endorsement!

It was a treat, I bought several history & fiction books for loved ones to bring home to the states. It’s called Topping & Co. Booksellers.

It doesn't matter if they are ever coming for you.

It was always ever already too much that they were coming for anyone.

The data on this is so clear now. The only question is if our government(s) will do what is right and restrict vehicle size. It's not even a question anymore: Car bloat is killing people.

Art imitates life. This episode in #Andor is extremely similar to what’s happening in #LA. I just hope all of the Star Wars fans out there actually care beyond the fictional storyline.

Thinking of Greta Thunberg (and co) and those being attacked by ICE in LA. Lot of horrible stuff going on right now but also A LOT of people standing up for what's right.

Zohran is making young Americans feel hopeful despite these dumpster fire times we are living in. Even if you aren’t a New Yorker - listen to what he has to say:
