One of these is a confirmed medication with significant healing properties and shouldn’t be listed.
One soda gotta go forever… (we’d probably be better off if they all left, but just judge for taste, not health)

I think the shortest version of why LLMs are an anti education technology is that education is fundamentally about making shared context to understand ourselves, each other, and the world
And by design LLMs destroy shared context

Two shows I'm *still* annoyed don't have another season at least are Bria Mack Gets a Life and How to Die Alone. Both excellent shows that got cancelled prematurely. The way the former got cancelled in particular, after winning awards and acclaim, pisses me off to no end.

The 90s were different, right? I remember always being encouraged to read, whether it was for book reports, spelling contests, French lessons, DEAR (Drop Everything and Read) month, book fairs, new encyclopedias, newspapers because I wanted to be a grown up etc. That was the environment.

I was never educated in the USA, but I'm wondering about how I learned to read here and I don't ever recall being taught to guess. But it was also very common to read aloud in class, read with other classmates etc. If we didn't know a word, we could skip it but we almost always came back to it.

WOAH. I just...have so many thoughts! The first one is that this is actually wild. But if I learned anything concrete doing my Master's in Education, it's that cognitive science has been *very slowly* making its way into education fields, if at all. This seems like a perfect reason to speed that up!
how did i go so long not knowing we were literally teaching people to read wrong. i knew something wasn't right but jesus christ www.apmreports.org/episode/2019...
How a flawed idea is teaching millions of kids to be poor readers
For decades, schools have taught children the strategies of struggling readers, using a theory about reading that cognitive scientists have repeatedly debunked. And many teachers and parents don't kno...

Semi-related, this is one of the reasons you will never, ever catch me at the British Museum. Because actions like this are late and overdue but a [wishy-washy] start on the UK side.
South Africa though, I have so many questions...

I'm taller than average height (5"9.5, so 5"10, lol) but I've been the tallest in most rooms I've been in, starting from childhood. But sometimes I forget because of my siblings, I'm actually the shortest. Shout out to my very tall grandfather for the genetics.

Reminds me that I haven't been to Chicago since I was very young (and I don't even remember it) and I'm so overdue for a trip back. And I know in my heart of hearts I'll love it there:
Toronto and Chicago are sister cities 🥰.

Important intergenerational conversations happening here, LOL!
Seriously, this kind of personability is so needed across generations for many reasons, notably for young people to specifically engage and learn and challenge the adults that make decisions about their lives.

He sure did. It was the first thing I saw upon walking into the house, so I had no context for why it happened. My response anyway? "Welp". I just knew it was deserved, lol.

The way this snow from Sunday has not gone away, lol. I thought we were just getting a little preview of winter, not the extended one! I'm not (ever) ready! 😭
(Watch me take out all my winter clothes only for it to be 15 degrees in three days, smh.)

I'm biased towards singers who sing jazz/have jazz training because the kind of ear you have to have? Something else. You also have to be so risky as an artist and that's not a one-off thing. That's every single time you record and perform. It's a feature of performing jazz specifically that I love.
