@tech Meanwhile, Google's #Gemini #AI can't be trusted or used for adding a hundred or so holidays per year to #Google Calendar internally at Google. <sarcasm>
Google Calendar users are angrily calling the company out after noticing that certain events like #Pridemonth are no longer highlighted by default in Google calendar. #BlackHistoryMonth, #IndigenousPeopleMonth, #JewishHeritage, #HolocaustRemembranceDay, and #HispanicHeritage have also been removed
Google, "Some years ago, the Calendar team started manually adding a broader set of cultural moments in a wide number of countries around the world. We got feedback that some other events and countries were missing — and maintaining hundreds of moments manually and consistently globally wasn’t scalable or sustainable..."

The Verge · Google Calendar removed events like Pride and BHM because its holiday list wasn’t ‘sustainable’
Ignorance and obscurantism have never produced anything other than flocks of slaves for tyranny.

The sages were not ashamed / to find themselves convinced; / for they knew, being wise, / that their knowledge was not infinite.

Your engineers are your great artists and these highways are the most beautiful things I have seen in your beautiful country…Out of them and the machine will issue the style of tomorrow.

Well, this was a fun “speaking engagement.” I visited a local school to introduce a pre-K class to Latin culture. In addition to playing some music, I acquainted them with the “other” banana – the plaintain, a staple in Latin food as well as in cuisines of various African and Asian regions. Then we all snacked on Chifles (plaintain chips).

Nations disappear and lineage sinks into oblivion once the national language is forgotten; that is why the Aztecs do not exist anymore as a nation. Rome had so much influence in all the nations that it had conquered because of its language, and if the Jews are not a nation today it is because each one of them speaks the language of the land they inhabit.

it stands to reason-it stands to common sense-that we must be a free nation in order to survive as a people.

If you want to sell your vote, go ahead; it's a free country. But be sure you get something for it... You can't get both justice and the two dollars.
Luis Muñoz Marín
Workers! Slash the fear./Yours is the naked earth./Leap hunger and death/over the deep lagoon,/and join the peasants/and those knotted to the cane./Break a million fists/against so unjust a morality!/Raise, raise your arms!
Julia de Burgos
The love of one's country is a splendid thing. But why should love stop at the border? There is a brotherhood among all men. This must be recognized if life is to remain. We must learn the love of man.

Full day #k12 #ProfessionalDevelopment today about #HispanicHeritage and #FamilyEngagement, mostly as they relate to supporting #EnglishLearner / #EMEB / #EL students and their families.
Was excellent, but tiring. Going to sleep well tonight.
Who, pray, are benefiting by all this waste and confusion? The dew, a mere small percentage of the population of the world. All the remainder submit, because they think it always has been so, and it must always be so.

We actually need to create an independent immigration court system, that’s independent from the Department of Justice, with enough judges and support staff to hear these asylum claims and get people an answer in a timely manner.

What of it if the darker races are getting consciousness, isn't the world large enough for the people of all bloods to dwell therein?

There’s another issue in the school system, which is standardized tests. Teachers focus so much time and energy in teaching students how to pass tests that they’re not able to educate them. So our students are over-tested and under-educated.
