TAXI260.BMF

A cartoonish illustration of an aggressive taxi driver at the wheel of his cab, chomping on a cigar. The anthropomorphic taxi itself looks fearsome, its yellow face/hood scowling at passersby. The taxi has no fares yet the driver has passed by five separate individuals, each trying to flag him down for a ride. They were black.

What’s with the Sith Lord sitting next to Marlins Man?

The front row of Yankee Stadium. Marlins Man is there in his orange Marlins gear. Next to him is the guy who’s been there the past few nights who wears big pink sunglasses, but tonight ja also has a hooded black robe and is making weird hand gestures.

Reused my Zine Lab presentation from last year, but I made some last minute speech additions on my hand so we’re good to go.

It’s my hand and I hastily wrote on it. It says, Hello! I’m here to talk about one creative outlet at SCHOOL. I’m esp here for poets, artists, daydreamers, and the people who don’t yet know they are poets artists and daydreamers.

In Nebraska it’s “Nor-fork”! There is a byzantine story behind this www.mccookgazette.com/story/130721...

Fork or folk?

Your recent editorial about Norfolk's Johnny Carson was interesting, although not fully informed. According to the writer, we Nebraskans who pronounce the name of Carson's home town exactly the way HE...

We have a department AI acceptable use policy this year but, mercifully, they threw in the word "teacher discretion," which was a fun phrase to explain on day 2 of class. Also the phrase "heavy lifting," as in, "believe me the phrase 'teacher discretion' will be doing a lot of 'heavy lifting' for us

“One of the negative consequences AI is having on students is that it is hurting their ability to develop meaningful relationships with teachers, the report finds. Half of the students agree that using AI in class makes them feel less connected to their teachers.”

Rising Use of AI in Schools Comes With Big Downsides for Students

A report by the Center for Democracy and Technology looks at teachers' and students' experiences with the technology.

Heathcliff lies down on a Tony Montana-sized pile of catnip, broadly grinning. The full moon above him is in the shape of a grinning cat with sunglasses. Two owls watch, and one says "It's a catnip harvest moon."

The other day they showed a Phillies fan praying with a runner on first and one out in the bottom of the 5th, 0-0. Made me wonder: can you really invoke the Lord that early, in that situation?

(Then I thought that maybe a Blue Jays fan has been praying endlessly & God's like, "Can do! 🫡")

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. just took Carlos Rodón deep, and the Blue Jays have a 2-0 lead 14 pitches into Game 3. He's single-handedly beating the Yankees.

Sure enough, I do think there's some weirdness in the social media post + headline — like, I might try to foreground a bit more "This is an easily fixable problem" and not "Use an inhaler? Here's why you're wrong"

Giving the right feedback is IMO maybe the most important thing in teaching, and it's rarely if ever talked about?

Meanwhile I've had enough conversations about cell phones to fill an In Search of Lost Time-level scale of tomes
