The DOE has a huge problem here obviously, but this is a lesson for parents who simply aren't paying close attention.
In a devastating 1rst-person piece, NYC education advocate and mom Adriana Aviles tells how her son received the highest grades in math throughout elementary and middle school in Queens’ District 26, the best in the city.
Yet now in high school, she soon discovered, “He couldn’t solve basic algebra. He couldn’t do geometry. He couldn’t compute elementary-school fractions."
“My shock soon gave way to heartbreak, then anger. The NYC education system had betrayed my son to make itself look better."
“I failed too. I didn’t scrutinize his work closely or check his performance on state test scores because I figured if his report cards were good then everything was fine.”
“I looked back and discovered he was deemed ‘not proficient’ in math on a 7th-grade state exam.”

JD Vance: we can fix hospitals by making everyone speak English.
RFK: sick people should go to a sauna instead of the ER.
Trump, onstage, mid-stroke: I’ll swallow it all. Euur ah doctor. Help me I can’t do it -ah. Surgery at the library. Huge hog on this guy, by the way.

even if we all get our dicks ripped off by robots like fuckin honeysuckles, how crazy is it that we get to live through it. there were like 1k year stretches where mfs just started fires and gathered shit and then died. and here we are like the white trash jetsons.
This shtick would work if the guy had any presence, personality, or a shred of comic wit or timing. But it doesn't - he's an empty husk of a man that offers nothing and will never be laughed with, just 'at'.

That moment when you have to tell your kid the Flintstones died before Christ’s sacrifice and cannot enter God’s kingdom
I too am an elder millennial, but I’m pretty sure I recall thinking these movies were butt.
My 2 takeaways from this:
1. The Knicks championship is gonna age the worst out of any title this era just based off the East being trash last year
2. Spurs fans have zero right to even be the ones talking after you blew 25 double digit leads against them and then proceeded to lay an egg vs OKC hours later
But that’s just me
Rightists can turn on Vivek pretty easily because he's a weak politician with bad instincts, but more importantly - he's brown. Trump runs this ad and you will have heard crickets. Or "sometimes he just dabbles in poor taste." None of this is real.
Most of this is wrong. The Twitter medicine we’re seeing over this is a nightmare.
The NFL and the Philadelphia Eagles almost killed Jalen Hurts for a Week 5 international showcase.
The full details of what happened behind closed doors in London just surfaced, and the negligence is staggering.
Before kickoff in London, Hurts was in a hospital bed until 4:00 AM undergoing emergency vascular testing. Medical staff instructed him not to sleep because sleep was considered an active health risk.
Instead of shutting down their $255 million franchise quarterback, the team cleared him to play 60 minutes of brutal, high-impact collision football on zero sleep.
Then, they loaded him onto a pressurized, 8-hour transatlantic flight back to Philadelphia.
Every doctor on the planet knows that long-haul flights and cabin pressure are the exact triggers that cause lower-extremity blood clots to break free. The Eagles spent days assuring the public it was just a "minor, superficial calf clot".
Now the truth comes out: the clot dislodged, shot through his bloodstream, and caused multiple pulmonary emboli in his lungs.
Hurts is officially out for the season, placed on blood thinners where taking a single routine tackle could cause a fatal internal hemorrhage.
He isn't just lucky to play football again, he is lucky to be alive.
When the NFL preaches "player safety," remember this moment. They ran a human being into the ground for television ratings in the UK, almost lost him to a preventable medical catastrophe, and cratered their entire season in the process.
Who inside that building signed off on letting him play and board that flight?
It’s funny seeing Knicks fans slowly realize that nobody cares about their Championship. It changed nothing. Nobody outside NYC has Brunson top 5. Nobody has him in any all-time talks. Nobody has him in “best of his generation” talks with Jokic SGA Giannis or Embiid. And everybody already knows he’s not winning another one so he’ll never make it to those talks.
He doesn’t have the motion/too ugly to be a cover athlete. All the celebrity bandwagons and people who pretended to care have left by now. Everybody moved on to the World Cup.
Brunson will retire and kids on TikTok will call him ball knowledge within 5 years. I almost feel bad. Literally all they got out of this was “No Larry?”
That’s a narrow subset of fans to highlight to make your point. Tracy was banished for too long, and Skat was removed from this game for too long. The two of them should be jointly spearheading their rushing attack.

Sometimes I eat dinner over the sink.
Jaylen Brown says he bought a gold harp, and now has someone come over twice a week to play it as the sun goes down while his chef cooks dinner
“My favorite purchase, I think my best, my most favorite purchase was, I bought a harp. I bought like a gold harp. I got it upstairs too…”
“I got a harpist that come play like twice a week. While the sun is going down, chef is in the kitchen. You know what I mean? Just…”
