Let me say a couple words about paywalls. They’re annoying. I feel that (as a news consumer) and know that (as a news publisher). But asking for your email, either to read an article or even to access a gift link (someone said this happened to them a a Times gift link a moment ago) isn’t some …

I don’t want to jinx anything, but I’m pretty giddy about the ten day forecast. Days where we don’t hit 100? Or 90?? Or 80??? RAIN?!?!?

When somebody gives a commencement address, gets booed, and doubles down by telling them essentially that they are peasants and have no choice about anything, you know that the audience for that behavior is not the students. The audience is, for lack of a better term, the discourse.

“'Names matter, and we want your big moment to feel personal and accurate,' the district wrote in an email to parents." Names do matter. So do students. Taking the time to learn how to pronounce their names accurately is personal. There's nothing personal about whatever this is.
