13 Women, 30 Activities and One Goal: Make Friends
Imagine walking into a party where you know almost no one (pathetic) — a party at which I, a stranger to you (probably), have arrived well before you (sorry). Should this occur in real life, it is inevitable that shortly after your entrance, as you are tentatively probing the scene in search of safe ingress into social traffic, I will yank you, abruptly, into the middle of a conversation. I will turn to you and start talking as if you’d been involved in the discussion for an hour. I will lob questions at you that are tailored so that any answer you give can be right. Soon, you will forget I dragged you into this interaction; your easy popularity will seem, in retrospect, inevitable. You will most likely feel at least vaguely friendly toward me, because I so clearly want to be your friend. And the whole time I am doing this — because, despite your rewritten recollections, I am the one doing all of this — I will be thinking: Oh, my God, I’m doing it again. I hate this. I hate this. Why … [Read more...] about 13 Women, 30 Activities and One Goal: Make Friends
What happens when it rains at Disneyland and why some rides shut down
Ask a longtime Disneyland fan, and they’ll likely tell you that Disneyland can still be enjoyable on rainy days. So many people decide to stay home and wait for better weather, the general thinking goes, that ride queues clear out. For those who brave the elements, it can be a better, if not wetter, park experience. But does that thinking hold up now that so many things have changed at Disneyland ? Here’s everything you need to know about going to Disneyland in the rain. Does Disneyland close in the rain? Only in cases of extreme weather or public safety events. Walt Disney World closed twice in 2022 because of hurricanes, but Disneyland has shut down only six times in its history, including the day after John F. Kennedy was assassinated, on 9/11 and during the pandemic. Essentially, there’s almost no chance Disneyland will close because of a rain storm. Can I cancel/change my reservation if it looks too rainy? You can cancel a reservation up until 11:59 p.m. the night … [Read more...] about What happens when it rains at Disneyland and why some rides shut down
Birthright Trips, a Rite of Passage for Many Jews, Are Now a Target of Protests
Halfway through a 10-day tour in Israel, Risa Nagel had a decision to make. The 25-year-old grant writer from Seattle had hiked the hills of Galilee and wandered the ancient market in Jerusalem. But then some of the friends she had just met told her they were planning to walk off the tour to visit a Palestinian family, an act of protest that was bound to cause pain and controversy. “We will be able to see for ourselves what’s going on,” one of them told her. “Do you want to come?” Ms. Nagel agonized. The next day, after the group held a moment of silence at the Western Wall, her friends announced that they were walking off. She followed them. Over nearly two decades, a nonprofit organization called Birthright Israel has given nearly 700,000 young Jews an all-expense-paid trip to Israel, an effort to bolster a distinct Jewish identity and forge an emotional connection to Israel. The trips, which are partly funded by the Israeli government, have become a rite of passage for … [Read more...] about Birthright Trips, a Rite of Passage for Many Jews, Are Now a Target of Protests

California ethnic studies classes are sparking controversy as mandate looms
The angry emails poured into central office inboxes at San Mateo Union High School District. More than 800 missives from inside and outside the community complained about the district’s ethnic studies courses , saying the curriculum promoted left-wing dogma aimed at turning teens into angry activists. Superintendent Randall Booker didn’t believe that was true, but told The Chronicle the complaints stemmed from fear and misunderstanding about a course that older generations had never heard of and included topics that were taboo in public schools for decades. “We are fighting hate in real time,” he told the school board. To help quell the outrage, the district scheduled a school board study session earlier this month to delve into what is taught in ethnic studies classrooms and how to improve lesson plans. Meanwhile, officials plan to continue to roll out the course across the district. The controversy in San Mateo over the purpose of ethnic studies and how to teach it is … [Read more...] about California ethnic studies classes are sparking controversy as mandate looms
Trial of 2016 Twitter Troll to Test Limits of Online Speech
The images appeared on Twitter in late 2016 just as the presidential campaign was entering its final stretch. Some featured the message “vote for Hillary” and the phrases “avoid the line” and “vote from home.” Aimed at Democratic voters, and sometimes singling out Black people, the messages were actually intended to help Donald J. Trump, not Hillary Clinton. The goal, federal prosecutors said, was to suppress votes for Ms. Clinton by persuading her supporters to falsely believe they could cast presidential ballots by text message. The misinformation campaign was carried out by a group of conspirators, prosecutors said, including a man in his 20s who called himself Ricky Vaughn. On Monday he will go on trial in Federal District Court in Brooklyn under his real name, Douglass Mackey, after being charged with conspiring to spread misinformation designed to deprive others of their right to vote. “The defendant exploited a social media platform to infringe one of the most basic and … [Read more...] about Trial of 2016 Twitter Troll to Test Limits of Online Speech
