3rd graders are taking NYS tests for the first time online this year.
They shouldn't be testing at all, but having them test for hours ON COMPUTERS is a special sort of torture. As their teacher, I feel strongly that we are going in the wrong direction w/ tech in the classrooms

This is the best news you will see today.
Mayo Clinic@MayoClinic
A Mayo Clinic-developed artificial intelligence (AI) model can help specialists detect pancreatic cancer on routine abdominal CT scans up to three years before clinical diagnosis. It identifies subtle signs of disease before tumors are visible, when curative treatment may still be possible. The findings, published in Gut, mark a milestone in Mayo Clinic's multiyear research effort to enable earlier detection of one of the deadliest cancers. Learn more: mayocl.in/4eippBP

I prayed for something like this as a student

Outage affected schools across NYS including in NYC ."State Ed officials declined to provide specific numbers of affected students but said it was a “limited number.” Really? Test vendor NWEA owned by HMH owned by Veritas Capital apparently wasn't asked. chalkbeat.org/newyork/2026/0…

China’s new official obsession: Getting people to read more books.
In February, China passed a new regulation to build more public reading facilities and spaces.
In April, China had its first-ever national reading week.
State media encourages people to put down their phones and pick up a book.
President Xi wants China to become a “cultural powerhouse” by 2035, and says the revival of reading is one of its pillars.
Xi quotes Mao saying, “One can go a day without eating, a day without sleeping, but not a day without reading.”
In 1949, less than 20% of China's population was literate. Today it's approaching 99%.
When one of the most tech-focused countries in the world says that a population of book readers is vital to their future, we should all take note.

New: You’d be hard pressed to find another millennial who knows more about NYC than @AsadFromNYC, a historian and urbanist who runs a walking storytelling tour group. Now as Brooklyn's official historian, he feels an even greater sense of responsibility.

A rabbi was at my son’s high school today handing out flyers telling kids to ‘Pray for the IDF.’ A rabbi. At a public school. Telling kids to pray for an army that’s committing genocide and ethnic cleansing. And no one batted an eye.

Caputo’s Bakery on Court Street, a.k.a. “the bread store,” has unexpectedly closed after 124 YEARS! They were a fifth-generation, family-run bakery for all that time. We’re all gonna need some time (and a seeded twist) to mourn this one.

Violent arrests made of several community members, including @OsseChi , during attempted eviction of deed theft justice advocate Carmella Charrington. I’m in Albany but have staff onsite at her home and at the precinct. Their reports are truly disturbing.

I am deeply disturbed by the videos of @OsseChi’s arrest while protesting an eviction.
My office is leading the fight to keep New Yorkers in their homes, and we have been in contact with the resident of this home for over a year to offer guidance and advice on her legal battle.
