My favorite part of Animal Farm was where the Pigs organized a concert.

This is not how you write an equation. @Bounty would fail middle school math.

@_ZachFoster I can't put my finger on it (not a PhD), but I feel like something else was going on in the world in 1941.

Facts are antisemitic

News that matters

No headphones!

I watch Industry on @HBO so I know this is only something Harper would do to prevent further outflows from the fund.

Thanks @RyanGosling for the Project Hail tickets! Was fun to see you play a middle school teacher again!

Christian is lucky he found the idol after putting on his new shorts #Survivor50

@justinperez @film_girl @BattleJoe97 I hope you bought enough for the whole class!

@NY4ChildCare @NYCMayorsOffice @emmy_liss So if you are currently expecting? Should you expect universal 2-care?

Just a year ago our parents + would-be parents launched our 2-Care campaign. Today, @NYCMayorsOffice Head of Child Care @emmy_liss outlined plans for 2-Care rollout! Year 1 - 2,000 seats Year 2 - 10,000 seats By end of mayor's term - ALL NYC 2 yr olds

Excited to announce HBO+

In middle school, field trip by coach bus is the ultimate in Luxury.

@johndavittontv But are more snowstorms coming our way??

Me: peacefully enjoying the evening. Mamdani:

These snow totals are going up like the price of bitcoin!

When I sat down with Tucker Carlson on Wednesday, I was expecting a thoughtful conversation and that he would ask questions and give me the opportunity to actually respond--just like he did with the little Nazi sympathizer Nick Fuentes or the guy who thought Hitler was the good guy and Churchill the bad guy. What I wasn't anticipating was a lengthy series of questions where he seemed to be insinuating that the Jews of today aren't really same people as the Jews of the Bible. I'll first just say something I didn't think to say to Tucker, which is that Ashkenazi Jews, meaning those who families had spent centuries in Europe, are a minority of Israel's Jewish population, only maybe 35-40%. There are far more Sephardic and Mizrahi Jews inside Israel. But there's a good reason, as it turns out, that I had never encountered this theory that Tucker kept pushing on. That’s because it comes from some of the darkest realms of the Internet and social media. I think it's important to take a moment now and educate Tucker and anyone else who might get sucked in by this dangerous conspiracy theory, just as I have been educated this week. I'm sharing this information because it has been weaponized by very bad people to delegitimize Jews and strip them of their history. It's an idea that gained traction in the 80's and 90's with David Duke and other Klansmen and neo-Nazis. It has really caught fire in recent years on the Internet and social media, mostly from some of the most overt anti-Semites and Jew haters you can find. I don’t know why Tucker was so fixated on this, and I'm certainly not saying he knew the origins of this conspiracy theory. I don't know what's in his heart or what he was thinking. But I do know that the discredited idea that most Ashkenazi or European Jews descended from the ancient Turkic kingdom of Khazaria is bunk. It's also been weaponized by people trying to deligitimize Jews, to strip them of their history, and to call them "imposters" or "fake Jews." This odious conspiracy theory is peddled by the likes of Candace Owens and Nick Fuentes and by people who love David Duke, as well as Islamist accounts that make up false smears about Israel non-stop and are run out of countries like Pakistan and Turkey. But we know from genetics and rich volumes of written literature that the Jews of today can trace their lineage back thousands of years to the Israel and the Jewish people of the Bible. They are as connected together as genetics tell us that the ancient Khazar kingdom is to people living today in Turkey. And if Tucker wants to tour more than Ben-Gurion Airport on his next trip to Israel, I'm happy to show him places where Jews have lived going back to the time of Jesus Christ and even earlier. I sincerely hope Tucker will let me know when he actually wants to learn facts about the land and people. Asking me about conspiracy theories should remain on the fringes and not be the heart of the conversation.

The @NYCTSubway runs two daily express F trains in the morning, unless they don’t want to, in which case no announcement is made and the train never arrives.

Okay, I’m thinking of a number between 1 and 10, and it’s the temperature.
