Internal White House meetings going on, like, "Hopefully the racism will distract from the pedophilia which will distract from the killings which will distract from the pedophilia again which will distract from the economy which will distract from the pedophilia a third time"

This is a person who has no business teaching 18-year-olds of any gender. "This is how men behave"? Only if you teach them that this behavior is OK and expected.
This is the Yale professor's explanation for why he described the physical attractiveness of a student in an email to Epstein. He explicitly says he regrets nothing about their association.

My kids’ art teacher did this on the school field! Brought his hockey skates and stick and waved to all the kids while skating around during dropoff. And yes, this stuff is that hard and frozen.
* Snowcrete ice skating -- you can do it! *

Where undisturbed and flat, the top layer of the Snowcrete is so slick, hard and uniform, you can ice skate on it. Here's a video from Meghan Meros in Hyattsville.

Have you tried skating on Snowcrete?

Here’s Duke behavioral economist Dan Ariely asking Jeffrey Epstein for “the name and email of the redhead that was here with you.” This is four years after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring a child for prostitution.
Doo do doo
Catherine O'Hara is as much of a "good in absolutely everything, no matter how good the thing itself was" actor as Philip Seymour Hoffman.
The arrests of Don Lemon, Georgia Fort, and Jamael Lundy are unacceptable and a clear violation of the Constitution.

His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

We used our soil turner to break up the top layer. The Claw was the MVP of this storm 😂
