☆ Opinion | The Tiniest Words Generate the Biggest Uproar

My own opinion on the matter makes no sense whatsoever — at least not the opinion that A.I. I checked the other day after seeing a social media post that described me as not approving of trans people. McWhorter also suggested other gender-neutral pronouns, including ‘que, ‘s/he, and ‘one.’”Hmm, not a word of that is true. I wouldn’t be caught dead endorsing the ungainly, unpronounceable “s/he” or the hopelessly wooden “one,” and God knows what “que” is. Plus, “they” had already been used in a singular, gender-neutral way (“Each student has an hour to complete their test”) for several centuries.

It's hard to tell, for a simple reason: The data on the safety of robot cars sucks. Until robot cars have traveled for hundreds of millions of miles, there's no way to get a statistically significant, unequivocal conclusion. If the data on robot cars is equivocal or incomplete, then those rules should keep them off the road. In a sense, she's Elon Musk's worst nightmare.

I know you don’t agree with our friend Ramaswamy, who called the climate change agenda “a hoax.” But do you feel yourself moving toward our oh-lord-this-is-a-world-crisis side? Conservatives could have something meaningful to contribute if they acknowledged that climate change was real and that big-government solutions aren’t the way to go.

kevin rooseAnd you’re listening to “Hard Fork.”casey newtonThis week on the show, Sam Bankman-Fried goes to jail. If you give me, like, 1 percent of the internet, that’s going to give me an aneurysm. And those three are actually going to get to live that out. So I actually think the classroom of the future looks remarkably like the classroom today, but you reverse what you’re doing in it. And I think that’s another piece, is we have to not be delusional about what has actually happened in education.

The power of the video, far beyond the tabloid tease, is the conventional frankness with which it depicts same-sex attraction. Coming from an artist signed to a Nashville major label, it is deeply striking. And having been on the receiving end of scrutiny for the last several weeks, Wade has finally emerged on the other side, emboldened. “I don’t know why we’re in this day and time where we have to speculate about people’s sexuality,” she said, emphatically. “Taking elements of who I used to be and those core fundamental things and finding out like, Hmm.

☆ A student-loan company's call center briefly shut down due to 'technical issues' after it started notifying borrowers of their monthly payment amount in October

Student-loan company Nelnet started notifying borrowers of their monthly payments in October. Shortly after, borrowers took to X to complain about inability to reach the company's customer service. Nelnet responded on X that its call center briefly shut down, and it's receiving an influx of calls and emails. The Education Department and student-loan servicers have never transitioned millions of borrowers back into repayment at this scale. Do you have concerns with the return to student-loan repayment?

March 11, 1961: When Ken met BarbieThis original Ken doll from 1961 was supposed to be so handsome and magnetic that Barbie fell instantly in love. 1970s -1990s: Ken tries to be trendyEven with an ever-fashionable companion like Barbie, Ken could never quite crack it when it came to personal style, though he certainly tried. Mod Hair Ken: A quintessentially ‘70s doll with a massive mop of hair, extra-long sideburns and bonus facial hair made for mixing and matching. Totally Hair Ken: It looks how it sounds — this ’90s Ken came with a long, unkempt mane, real hair gel and a small comb his owners could use to style him however they wanted. Mattel introduced a “new and improved” Ken doll almost two years to the day after his break-up with Barbie.

Javice is accused of grossly exaggerating the numbers of customers she had before her sale to JP Morgan. After hat after the initial deception to JP Morgan Chase, Javice and Amar pivoted to another, Fergenson said. Javice and Amar presented it all in a spreadsheet to JP Morgan Chase, representing all of the names to be Frank users, Fergenson said. Javice's attorney, Alex Spiro, who has alleged that JP Morgan Chase is retaliating against his client for her exposure of their violating of privacy laws, objected. "The government is just regurgitating to the court JP Morgan Chase's civil lawsuit," he said.

The Britney Spears jukebox musical “Once Upon a One More Time” is not a bio-show recounting the singer’s life. Rather, it retrofits two dozen of her songs — including “Oops! But this big, splashy show, which is quite entertaining at times, is hampered by a shambolic jumble of sisterhood 101 messaging and defanged fantasy revisionism. Although Cinderella is supposed to be content in the happy-ever-after, her loneliness just might be killing her. But shush, pretty lady, push these thoughts out of your lovely head: As her prince (Justin Guarini) soothingly informs her, “You’re paid to be pretty, and I’m paid to be charming.”

And in Herrera’s recipe, it will occupy most of your time, but the return on investment couldn’t be higher. The resulting mixture gives a warmth and complexity — a “Hmm, what is that?” — to an otherwise breezy al pastor. When he first opened Ensenada, Herrera used pale out-of-season tomatoes that diluted the bright coastal flavors he wanted to showcase in these fish tacos. But it’s not just the pineapple that makes this fish al pastor — it’s the char. Al pastor, “in the style of a shepherd,” is a method of barbecuing meat on a rotating vertical spit that Lebanese immigrants brought to Mexico in the late 19th century.
