Nice lede

$IN AUGUST 2025, Katie Zacharia, who debuted this week as President Trump's new press secretary, appeared on Fox News to lambast the "brazen" and"callous" street takeover drivers of Los Angeles who have "not faced consequences for the last decade under Soros-backed" district attorneys. "They do not care about human life," Zacharia declared What Zacharia didn't say on air was that, the very same day she was denouncing reckless drivers on L.A. streets, she was due to complete traffic school for the latest of multiple distracted-driving infractions that she has racked up across Southern California.$

How do you post a skeet to the feed? Include the term March Xmas, or a link to a story on marchxness.com. There may also be a mysterious third way, but I can't remember! Quite possibly mentioning @marchxness.bsky.social also triggers a feed post, but don't make me swear to it.

I let my mother track my location when I asked to track hers (after a harrowing road trip through the mountains when my stepdad had to be airlifted to hospital) and I thought she forgot, but now I'll get little texts when I'm on vacation and learned she's following me on the map like Indiana Jones.

In observance of last spring's March Sadness tournament (i.e. the saddest 90s songs) & in anticipation of the upcoming March Xmas (i.e. the best winter holiday songs), I wrote a @marchxness.bsky.social essay about "Family Life" by the Blue Nile, which qualifies as both. Hope you like weeping!

The nation doesn’t have a coherent or reasonable AI policy, but everyone expects school districts to. Like so much else in education, they are expected to solve the problems society and government cause and ignore.

More Than Half of NY School Districts Don't Have an AI Policy

A New York Focus analysis of roughly 680 school district websites and school board manuals found that more than half lack formal AI policies.

I think AI fantasies fill the same role that ghosts and angels did in the past (and still today for a lot of people). It's soothing to imagine consciousness could exist without a body, because the alternative is facing the fact that death is final. But it can't. And we're all gonna die.

An interesting thing about the monk parakeets in Barcelona is that the city monitors their movements, but the birds kept removing any rings on put on their legs with their strong beaks, so now lots of them wear these huge tags on collars around their necks like dogs. 🪶

A photo of a monk parakeet (Myiopsitta monachus) perched on an outstretched open palm, eating sunflower seeds. It's a small parrots with a green back and wings, a pale gray face and breast, and a pinkish-orange bill. A relatively large round black tag stamped "W57" hangs from its neck. Empty seed shells and a few whole seeds lie across the hand. The wrist wears a green and cream marbled watch band. Behind them is a sandy park path edged with grass, a dark iron gate on the left, and a black lamp post on the right. It's a bright, sunny day.

Sixty years later, the Beatles’ “Revolver” is still unfolding its secrets. @everythingfab4.bsky.social host Kenneth Womack calls it the band’s “thrilling turning point” — and a launching pad for the more experimental music that followed.
