@MaryBowdenMD @CocaCola has been sitting around for a while. The label is to say certified for Passover - which was at beginning of April.

Bilingual label for orange juice… in a language understood by fewer than 1% of Americans? @CocaCola this is so odd.

@SpencerHakimian Not sure where you are but I live in Texas and it is below $4

🚨BREAKING: Gas hits $5.00/Gallon in Texas.

@sanchezcastejon Safety safety - and Jews haven’t been praying at the western Wall all week either for same reason. Of course there was a reason

Netanyahu ha impedido a los católicos celebrar el Domingo de Ramos en los Lugares Santos de Jerusalén. Sin explicación alguna. Sin razones ni motivos. Desde el Gobierno de España condenamos este ataque injustificado a la libertad religiosa y exigimos a Israel que respete la diversidad de credos y el derecho internacional. Porque sin tolerancia es imposible convivir.

@repdeliaramirez Wow. And you didn’t do your job Now you blame it on others

Let the record show: Trump could've signed the executive order to pay TSA day 1.   TSA and federal workers did not have to miss a single paycheck.

@cherrymilkte4 Didn’t she have something in her contract with them dealing with weather?

if u think ur having a bad day just know my sisters wedding venue just cancelled on her, and she gets married tomorrow 😀😀😀

@SenAdamSchiff Every women has to do this to get a new social security card or drivers license or passport when get married. We are used to the hoops men have made for us. Let’s secure elections now!

A birth certificate AND your marriage license. If you changed your name after you got married, like the First Lady, the 'SAVE America Act' will demand you provide BOTH documents in order to prove your identity and vote in the next election if you don’t have a passport.

@nicolegelinas Do you have TSA precheck or clear?

I have missed many flights due to my own fault but today was not one of them. Got to JFK T5 priority line 74 minutes before 6:59am domestic flight. Probably the earliest I’ve ever got to the airport because people said “there’s a line” and I said “ok I’ll get there early.” Priority line was two hours wait. So now I am … early … for the next flight … at 10.

@alt_w_v_g At a preschool conference teacher tried to make us (and the 4 year old) look bad because he laughed at the teacher when she asked him to count to 10. We said why only 10 - he can count to 100s by 5s, 10s etc.

Had a parent-teacher conference this morning My wife told me not to come I came anyway She said "please just listen and nod" I said "I always listen" She said "you listen like you're sitting in a boardroom looking for something to challenge" That's how listening works Nice classroom Small chairs I am 6'4" and was seated at a desk designed for someone who still believes in Santa Claus My knees touched my chest The teacher introduced herself Shared her identified pronouns I shared my identified adjectives Smart and handsome My wife closed her eyes The teacher had a folder Color-coded tabs I respected the organization She said our son is "a pleasure to have in class" My wife smiled I waited That sentence is never the whole report It's the executive summary before the risk section She said "however" There it is She said he "asks a lot of questions" I said "good" She said "during quiet time" I said "when is quiet time?" She said "it's when students are expected to work independently and in silence" I said "so he's the only one trying to get information and you've structured the environment to prevent it?" My wife put her hand on my arm I continued The teacher said he recently told another student that "sharing pencils doesn't make sense if nobody brings their own" I said "that's an accurate observation" My wife squeezed harder The teacher said she's concerned about his "resistance to group activities" I said "he's not resistant. He just doesn't see the value of doing more work for the same grade." The teacher said he also corrected her math on the whiteboard I said "was he right?" She paused She said "that's not the point" I said "it's a little bit the point" My wife stood up Sat back down Compromise The teacher pulled out an evaluation sheet Categories like "works well with others" and "follows directions" and "respects classroom norms" All subjective Not a number on the page I asked how these are graded She said "based on observation" I said "so one person's opinion with no second review?" She said "it's professional judgment" I said "my auditors say that too. Right before I disagree with them." She looked at my wife My wife said "I'm sorry about him" I said "I'm sitting right here" My wife said "I know" The teacher said overall he's a bright kid and she just wants to make sure he learns to "collaborate" I said "collaboration is important. But so is recognizing when you're the only one doing the work. He'll learn that again in college. And again in the real world. Might as well start now." Nobody spoke The teacher closed her folder She said "I think we've covered everything" I said "one more thing" She braced herself I said "his reading is above grade level. His math is strong. He asks hard questions and corrects mistakes when he sees them. I just want to make sure this school knows what it has." The teacher looked at me differently My wife looked at me differently I said "that's all" We left In the car my wife was quiet Then she said "he's turning into you" I said "is that a good thing?" She didn't answer From the backseat he said "dad, why does the teacher count off for asking questions? Isn't that the whole point of school?" I looked at my wife She looked out the window I said "yes. It is." He said "I don't think she likes when I'm right" I didn't say anything Neither did my wife Small chairs Color-coded tabs No follow-up items But the kid's going to be fine Sent from my iPhone

@MaryWalterRadio @Garnet_2203 You pay for health insurance. It is thru high taxes.

@Garnet_2203 How is that free healthcare funded or do your doctors work for free?

Americans pay $1,327 a month just to have health insurance. In Canada, health care is covered. That money here goes to groceries, rent, car payments, and kids’ sports not insurance companies. This is what universal health care looks like.

@johnarnold Wait to they apply for internship or job and it will take 100-200 applications to get one interview

Have a child going through the selective college admissions process for the first time and the system seems designed specifically to maximize stress for student and parents alike. The process has gotten worse in recent years and will will keep getting worse until it breaks. 1/n

@ashishkjha @michaelmina_lab As parent of 18 yo college student that had a myocarditis after first Covid booster -rushed to university ER - it might be “rare” but it happens and it is scary. He had no incident when he had Covid 6 months later. And hasn’t had the Covid vaccine again (per doctors orders)

An important study elucidating the mechanism by which mRNA vaccines cause myocarditis The risk is rare The risk of myocarditis from covid is about 10 times higher But understanding how a vaccine might have negative side effects is a key part of making vaccines even safer

@parkersity_9 6-7

Without naming your job, tell me something you say 15 times per day at work

@Matt_Pinner Anything by Taylor Sheridan

Name one

@johnkonrad And who is telling her to put in an AI detector. Don’t. Colleges won’t be doing that.

My daughter hand-writes her college application essays, then types them up. She plugs them into an “AI detector” like they tell kids to… and every one comes back 80%+ ‘likely AI.’ She’s been writing these all week. She’s frustrated. She’s furious. I don’t blame her.

@HilzFuld Bet a lot of people will be moving to Houston too.

I heard from a friend that a house is on sale in his Boca neighborhood and the sign in front says “Pre Mamdani prices”. It’s funny but also not. Millions of Jews will 100% leave NY if he wins. Some will come to Israel. Most will probably go to Florida.

@homelessdave89 Just a slight sore arm and headache for a day. No other side effects

Who had the COVID vaccine and had zero side effects except for a sore arm and feeling little rough for a day

@castlehillmom Looks like great class

Starting to label and pack the kids’ school supplies. Here is what my daughter will study in integrated humanities this year (10th grade).

@EYakoby What does it mean?

I went to Jewish school growing up, had a Bar Mitzvah, and have been to Israel over 30 times—and the first time I ever heard the term “Greater Israel” was last year, when antisemites started using it to attack Jews.

@Principal_Jon You might start looking for a new school

What I was asked to read in high school: The Great Gatsby Of Mice and Men Grapes of Wrath What my daughter was asked to read: Diary of a Wimpy Kid

@Maga_Trigger If you can tell me why he is the best candidate

Would you vote for Pete Buttigieg if he ran in 2028 Yes or No?
