If everyone knows someone who knows someone who was a doctor waiting for their green card by marriage to finish being processed when they got pulled out of their car during preschool dropoff after ICE smashed their window—an actual story—how might one expect deportations to poll?.

My entire romantic history is using words to make women attracted to me. I am a 5/10 on a very good day. Not especially successful in my career, pre-marriage. Have always dated “out of my league”. Use your words!.

The bad news: you can’t *directly argue* a woman into being attracted to you. The good news: there are countless other speech acts.

There are no words you can use to make a woman attracted to you. She's already decided before you open your mouth.

Some horrific ICE stories now reaching me just through personal networks. In addition the fact that ICE behavior exhibited is barbaric, and morally and legally wrong, it is also worth noting that it won’t net out as popular.

Step 1: over the top explicitly pornographic explicitly BPD AI grok companion because it’s funny and/or to hijack dark patterns in the human psyche. Step 2: content for babies.

What’s up with torching the requisite credibility to do a thing immediately before doing that exact thing.

Incredibly grateful to be working on this project and could not be more excited about it. We have some spots available for families eager to get in on the ground floor. Reach out if you want to see it for yourself and have your child do a shadow day.

Montessorium is a new curriculum that blends the independence and self-guided exploration of Montessori with personalized, tech-powered learning.

The pilot program is in Austin. It’s embedded in Guidepost Brushy Creek, a great Montessori school, that both of my children have been attending for early childhood for years. Eventually we’ll be expanding. But first we have to actually Make the Thing.

Laura Mazer, who is leading the project, is one of the most interesting educators alive. She’s developed Montessori upper school programs for years, posterior to being an accomplished surgeon specializing in medical education. She has a great s*bst*ck btw:

Anna Morgan Smiley, the guide for the pilot program, is someone I have been trying to hire for years. She’s an amazing educator—my 5yo daughter is in love with her after 3 days—and the perfect person to lead a tech-integrated Montessori elementary room.
