If we take "the proposal" to mean "closing some schools to meet minimum enrollment standards in the remaining ones," I think you sort of have to agree. Also true most people don't seem to & that's wild. But a narrower, "they insufficiently explained the rational for the specifics" I could cosign.
I understand why people are upset but I think the PPS proposal is reasonable given the circumstances.

PPS is proposing to close 6 Title 1 schools while leaving disproportionately white/wealthy focus options mostly untouched. Calling this equity is shameful and insulting
it's already true that anyone not listing Franklin as one of the three who discovered the structure of DNA is a hack or a rube, but this is a cool addition to the understanding of this time

there is some very useful early discussion and framing in the stochastic parrots paper. But the parrot itself is pining for the Norwegian fjords.
or if it is parroting, it's stretching the bounds of your conventional understanding of that term so far as to render it misleading. parrots cannot solve complex problems, self-interrogate and self-correct, search the web and extract relevant information, etc. etc.

“Appeared in the print edition as 'Portland Rents Finally Are Affordable.’” It’s fine for journalists to dwell on the bad news, but I hope Portlanders & their leaders understand there’s an alternative PDX where this doughnut shop worker & her kids *didn’t* find a $1600 market-rate 3-bedroom.

what a disturbing story. every time you think you've plumbed the depths of what young men get up to, you discover a new, deeper hole.
There is a corner of the internet I had never heard of before I started reporting this story. It’s called the “burnerverse”: a network of anon burner accounts ostensibly discussing college sports. But they have another goal: destroying young girls’ lives.🧵: www.wired.com/story/burner...
