We went to see ballet today and the girl next to us brought a 24-piece ferrero rocher box and unwrapped each piece before the performance started and ate all of them before the first interval. She made absolutely no noise. Pure class. I hope you had a wonderful time, diva.

whenever someone brings up using AI for creative work, I think about this
what we create also creates us

Maybe she shouldn't let the kid toddle around either until it's motor skills are fully developed. Toddlers break things and make messes.
Oh, and when the kid is 16 she shouldn't let them practice driving either until they are naturally perfect drivers. they might crash the car.

Nah I'm happy to see kids analyzing and dissecting lyrics. If Taylor swift is the one to help fix the youth literacy crisis, so be it

I donโt understand so many teachersโ impulse to put into the hands of teenagers only books that explore the thoughts of fictional teenagers who are in circumstances that closely mirror their own.
One of the chief pleasures of literature is being introduced to someone whoโs been dead for two hundred years and has something considerably more interesting to say than you do.
We should not encourage kids to think that their own quotidian and provincial thoughts are the pinnacle of whatโs important in the world. They should read the masters and realize how small they are, and how large they can aspire to be.

~30 years from now, in a soft room at rehab:
"So where do you think this all started"
"Well, when I was little, my dad made a list of all the boring parts of spending time with me, and tried to get computers to do those parts."

My favourite part of the traitors this episode was Ross Kemp who films documentaries in war and crime zones, having a paranoid breakdown because Leigh-Anne from little mix stroked his arm. I've missed this show #CelebrityTraitors

99% of women's fashion is just "invent problem and make them feel bad about it so they'll buy our made up solution."

The reason you end up with education experts saying absurd things like "it's developmentally inappropriate for a child to learn letters at age 3"
is because *some* kids are genuinely not developmentally ready to learn letters at age 3
But there is an implicit and unquestionable assumption in education that all kids are the same
and so if it's developmentally inappropriate for some kids to learn letters at 3, then we must declare that it's developmentally inappropriate for all kids to learn letters at 3.
God forbid we should say something like:
"Some kids might be ready to read at age 3 and enjoying chapter books before they arrive at kindergarten. Other kids might not be ready to learn to read until age 6.
So let's make sure we have a classroom ready to support and challenge those kindergarteners who can already read Harry Potter and make sure they keep progressing
And lets make sure we have a classroom ready to support and challenge those kindergarteners who are just barely ready to begin learning their letters."

Someone whispered to him right before the show started, โremember to look interested when the womanโs talking, Rory.โ
