When he asked one student how they had gotten every question right the night before but failed the next day, he said the teenager responded, “ChatGPT.”

Westchester County Executive Ken Jenkins said, “Every child deserves access to a strong educational foundation, and every parent deserves the peace of mind that comes with knowing their child is in a high-quality learning environment. By expanding these opportunities, we are helping our youngest learners build the skills they need to succeed, while providing working families with meaningful support to balance the demands of raising a family and working towards a solid future. This investment in universal Pre-K is a major step forward for children and families across Westchester, and I thank Governor Hochul for her leadership on this.”

Village of Tuckahoe Mayor Cara Kronen said, "Governor Hochul’s investment in universal pre-K will make a meaningful difference for families in the Village of Tuckahoe and across New York State. Expanding pre-K will help ensure that all of our youngest learners, regardless of their families’ income or circumstances, have access to high-quality, nurturing early childhood education while providing essential support to working families"

With all the crazy shit going on nowadays, I love that we still have the wisdom to spend money on children and families.

Many people feel isolated, overwhelmed, or terrorized by the current political and corporate climate in the US and around the world as we face fascism and wealth inequality as a constant and ever growing threat to our freedom.

I made a website to act as a directory to all of the services I host and have available for our local community. I believe we need to connect, get to know our neighbors and share our skills to improve our self-reliance and break away from dependency on fragile, corrupt or co opted systems.

MakeArmy is all about building and maintaining free, open and safe spaces where people can ask questions, share notes, publish guides, and coordinate projects. I'm genuinely hoping to connect with you all and start a conversation.

I've built this operating on the following principles:

• Local: Start where you live; and build something your community can use.
• Open: We exist to share our knowledge and skills with others to better all lives.
• Private: We ONLY employ tools and services that are open source and privacy respecting.
• Decentralized: We ONLY deploy on platforms that are decentralized to fight censorship.

You can read more on my website at https://makearmy.io/ and I invite you to join me on the Matrix server to discuss how we can best use these tools to better our community and improve outreach to connect with like-minded individuals as we head into the future together.

Was thinking libraries? But wanted to get some suggestions.

I need a change. I think moving to a blue state might be healthy for me. I was looking at Oregon where a few of my friends live but coming from Ohio that would be a pretty difficult move. You guys are basically right next door.

How are things in Rochester? What's the LGBT+ community like there? How's the jobs market? What's housing like? I would need to find something cheap with off street parking so I could charge my EV. I see you guys have really good internet avaliable in many places too, especially compared to the crappy spectrum connection I'm stuck with here. Prices are higher than there, but not by that much.

Anyone still here? How do we get more people to come from the Rochester subreddit to this one or help people find this community? I no longer have a Reddit account and have no desire to create a new one.

So, if you have an opinion of the best taprooms, please let me know.

I definitely only visit actual breweries, not: bars, tap houses, can/bottle shops.

Thanks!
