The novelist Lorrie Moore once observed that school integration is used to give whites an experience of race rather than blacks an experience of algebra.

Saturday night on MeTV- it’s an eerie film made before the movie content censorship code- as Bela Lugosi seeks retribution from Boris Karloff for ruining his life- only to have himself and a honeymooning couple facing more treachery and Satanism in “ The Black Cat”! 8 pm eastern/ pacific, 7 central!

Bingo! This is the pattern. The midterms hit and Dems get in. Then the GOP loses and Dems clean up the mess. It’s like we haven’t learned since Reagan that trickle down doesn’t work.
We are in the same cycle with the GOP since 1981. When elected to complete control, the GOP blows up the deficit with tax cuts for the top and big corporations and then blames the Democrats when they are out of power.

New MIT study with young adults (mostly college students) finds a clear "cognitive cost" of using ChatGPT to write essays: less satisfaction, less inclination to think critically, and lower levels of brain connectivity (based on EEG analysis) as compared with those who wrote without AI: is.gd/R9t7XS

Lee: Would say it would be “illegal DEI” for a lesson plan on the Tulsa race massacre?
McMahon: I’d have to get back to you
Lee: Do you know what the Tulsa race massacre is?
McMahon: I’d like to look into it more and get back to you on it.

Yup. I love that it pays homage to the 1965 winner from Luxembourg. It’s one of my favorites.
This Luxembourg song is basically #eurovision in three minutes.

A lot of people will dismiss Serving/Kant as a silly song but I think it's one of the best this year about speaking to the moment

I'm very conflicted about Becky Lynch returning like this.
I am glad she's back in WWE, love Becky Lynch. But it sucks to the extreme that Bayley had to step aside and lose her Wrestlemania spot to make this happen.

Suggestions for supplements to take to fight whatever this is- feels like a cold or sinus infection. Does elderberry help?

Spring break in a few hours. Finally! We usually have it in April since we get a break in Feb. It’s taken forever to get here though. 🤣🤣
