Ex-NYC Mayor Eric Adams traveled to Wisconsin Rapids to convince residents to allow a real estate developer to build a data center in their town. Boos quickly rained down.

This is your annual reminder that if you inadvertently write on a whiteboard with a Sharpie, you can trace over that with a whiteboard pen and then the whole thing will come off.

The worst part about breakout horror movies are the insufferable articles by tourists proclaiming HORROR IS BACK! like most weekends last year didn't have horror in the top 5, or three different horror movies that cleared $300M+ worldwide, gleaning 1/3 of last year's Oscars. Horror is doing GREAT.

Every so often, when I feel like I'm too forgetful and scatterbrained, I check in on the Google AI overview and then I feel better.

Screenshot from my Google search query "how many Ls in the word torpedo" and the "AI Overview" confidently declares "There is exactly 1 "L" in the word torpedo. T-O-R-P-E-D-O." The number one in that sentence is also in bold type.

Thought for the day: Grade inflation narratives rely on a dangerous kind of nostalgia. That somehow, in the past, standards were higher, teachers were better, exams and assessments perfectly captured learning. I think we have evidence to show that none of those assumptions are true. 1/2
