MAGAts are blocked for the same reason a toilet gets flushed.
DMs treated with extreme suspicion.
I stop and watch pet photos/videos a bit too much.

Party time is over. We got some big wins, but just getting one good punch in doesn't mean you won the boxing match.
GOP is already screaming about 'affordability' and trying to adopt our strategies to appeal to their base. Don't let them take that talking point. It's ours!
Fuck them.

Sitting on the train next to a little old lady. I'm doing a lesson on Duolingo and she keeps peeping at my phone. Then she pulls out her phone and starts a Duolingo lesson. Haha

Linux Post(s):
So, I redesigned all of my syllabi using LibreOffice Draw, a program that works in both Windows and Linux. When I was using my laptop yesterday, (Win11) I made a small fix on a mistake in one of the files and printed to file (PDF) to update it on Google Classroom.

Really want to buy a SteamDeck, but I know I won't have time to play it and my boys will constantly be begging me to use it... and then fight each other for time on it.

THEY'RE STILL TALKING ABOUT EPSTEIN'S LIST! MORE DISTRACTIONS! CHANGE THE NARRATIVE!!!!
Look at this official White House web page: it's like an ad for a reality TV show.
Ostensibly, it's about COVID, but of course Trump is right at the center, striding forth as if HE is the lab leak.
Pure conspiracy propaganda. It's what Stalin would've produced if he'd been alive for the pandemic.

We're not callous and unfeeling. We've told them time and time again what will happen if they vote for him. They ignored us. Now they reap what they sew.

Putting together a small group project for students:
Imagine you're going to go to New York City for a week. You want to rent a 50cc moped/scooter (げんつき）for the week. Go online, research what you need to do to rent a moped. Find out what license you need and how much it costs.

In my writing classes, there are three short essays that are due throughout the semester. Nothing big, just little essays where the form and writing process is focused on.
One student comes up to me after class asking for permission to write about a specific topic: Comparing McDonald's in Japan 1/
