Idiocracy was truly prophetic.

Books I regularly recommend to parents: πŸ“•Absorbent Mind (Montessori) - she has the deepest reverse for the human condition focused on children. πŸ“— Positive Discipline series - great for instilling emotional intelligence and agency in young children. πŸ“˜ How to Talk so Children Listen and Listen so Children Talk (Faber) - fabulous practical communication tips. πŸ“™ How Children Learn (Holt) - love his observations about helping young children to teach themselves. πŸ“š Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons (Engelmann) - the bible of teaching reading. πŸ“– Magical Child (Pearce) - raising genius kids through play. He gets woo-woo at the end (but given that people love the telepathy tapes, maybe he's onto something).
Someone asked me to recommend a good book on parenting. I would guess that most books about parenting are tedious. So my recommendation is to read autobiographies, the early parts of which are usually implicitly about parenting.

MSG requested a permit for a watch party for 500-999 fans. We approved that permit for 999 fans. Mr. Dolan has now decided to cancel the watch party. I know this is breaking hearts across our city. But if there's one thing Knicks fans don't need permission for, it's showing up for our team wherever we may be β€” no matter the block or the borough. Knicks in five.

You just won a 2-week, all-expenses-paid vacation. But there’s a catch: you have to stay within one region the whole time. What region are you picking?

There's a ton of confusion on the new US immigration policy. Here's an immigration lawyer's analysis, and how it actually affects every current US visa holder.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani mocks Ronald Reagan’s infamous quote. β€œI can think of nine words more terrifying than β€˜I’m from the government and I’m here to help…’” β€œI worked all day and can’t feed my family.”

OpenEvidence is a $12B company used by 65% of US doctors. I built the version anyone can use for free. Ask Peer a health or medical research question: frompeer.com I thought it was weird that OpenEvidence's model is pharma ads partnerships with prestige journals; feels dangerous to miss the broader gold standard research. Peer strives for the most honest, transparent, and rigorous answers in health research: - Gold standard sources (PubMed, ClinicalTrials . gov, FDA, NHS, more) - Source quality weighting - Claim verification (cannot hallucinate citations) - Transparent methodology

Hey. White liberals, progressives and leftists. Instead demanding Black athletes boycott the SEC. YOU need to boycott them as well. No merch. No tickets. Don’t send YOUR kids there. Don’t lay this all on us.

I’m against this for both privacy and self-incriminating reasons
A newly proposed Massachusetts bill would let cities and towns use automated speed cameras and red-light cameras to ticket drivers statewide. The proposal would allow enforcement for speeding, running red lights, illegal right turns on red, and blocking intersections.

I do the same thing - but unconditionally: any book you want, any time. But try getting it from the library first if it’s not a keeper.
Papa has two cheat codes: 1. Unlimited LEGOs as long as you finish the last set 2. Unlimited books as long as you finish the last book And sometimes we get to visit the LEGO store and bookstore in the same day (DiDi doing her LEGO @Cristiano impression here)

Friendly reminder that New England is the only region with an actual name. Every other region is named based on their relative position to New England. New England is the center of the US.
This is how the Census Bureau defines the regions of the US. Thoughts?
