NEW! Reading Coach just got a set of ReadWorks library passages in Spanish 📖
📘Designed especially for multi-lingual, ELL and struggling readers, AI-powered Reading Coach empowers learners to create their own stories, or from a passage library.
If you've ever wished Hemingway could sample your writing and give feedback, I created a "Papa H" fiction writing coach GPT, if anyone is curious to try it. He is not gentle, and he will not rewrite anything for you, but he is impressively insightful: chatgpt.com/g/g-686059d06c…
Experienced our first #Thurby at @ChurchillDowns today and first time getting Super 7 tickets. I gotta say, the team there take extra steps to make you feel welcome & appreciated. None of my horses won, but we had lots of fun, and looking forward to our next race days. 🐎
@Rhialto@SubaruCanada Agree. Love our Solterra. Love our squared steering wheel. Hate the button layout on the steering wheel compared to our WRX and the Forester the Solterra replaced.
@SubaruCanada Damn a Toyota steering wheel again. When will you enforce using your own? It's much better than the one from Toyota and we are all used to it.
Introducing the first-ever Subaru Trailseeker. Powerful. Rugged. And 100% electric. It’s an EV at its core, a Subaru at heart. #SubaruTrailseeker

@FixingEducation State universities need to offer tuition credits to those majoring in education & planning to teach in that state. No student loans or significantly smaller student loans would be a big incentive to enter and stay in the profession.
Want to attract NEW teachers?
Want to retain CURRENT teachers?
•Make smaller class sizes happen
•Improve the response to student behavioral issues
•Increase planning time
•Improve salaries
•Let teachers TEACH!
Bunny update: Day 4. I finally got all 3 to drink some kitten formula from a little bottle yesterday, and they also started eating leaves, so there's some hope now. Everybody seems to say baby rabbits are difficult to save, so fingers crossed. 🤞
My 20 years in public education have basically seen the notion of “picking your battles” turn into the lowering of expectations across the board.
From PE, to behavior, to homework.
We won zero battles in 20 years and are in danger of losing the war.
Any bunny whisperers in Warren County area? Their nest was where heavy machinery was being used. I put them back in nest after but mother never returned. I can't get them to eat from a dropper. 😢 Eyes are open but they're young.
@rosphlps Was there any confirmation of tornado activity or microburst in Alvaton last night? We had three large trees blown over in two different directions.
Kentucky weather: "Ima start the day with temps in the 60s, add some flash flooding, then a possible mini-tornado, then finish it off with a little snow..."
@NWSLouisville I am a trained weather spotter reporting rapidly rising water at Weldon Peete Park from the flooding Barren River. Has increased 1 inch in less than 5 minutes and continues to rise. Parking lot flooded.

@tonyvincent Also note anyone who has a M365 Family plan shared w/ them only gets 15 credits/mo (same as non-subscribers) and has no access to Copilot integration in apps. The only way to get any real acccess now is to add Copilot Pro for $240/yr but it's unclear how many credits that gives.
Microsoft Designer has a new limit of 15 credits (prompts) per month on free accounts. Those with a MS 365 subscription get 60 credits/month to spread between CoPilot and Designer.
There are alternatives you can use for free after you run out of credits.

@MargevonMarge@DragonFemme@MSFT365Designer And as anyone who uses AI for images/designs knows, it often takes 5 to 10 tries to get an acceptable/desired result.
This is like paying for Spotify Premium but being limited to 60 song plays a month.
@DragonFemme@MSFT365Designer Yeah they sneaked in only 15 AI credits/month or pay $10/month just overnight after getting millions of users hooked on using MSDesigner. Bait and switch! So... predictable. Makes the Ideogram bait and switch seem cheap!
@Office@Office365@MicrosoftHelps@Microsoft - The concept of AI credits seems like a horrible idea. A credit for every email summary? I could use that in a few days. @GeminiApp@google do not restrict AI access with tokens and neither should you.
