Finding out from my children which Olympic big air snowboarders have “aura”…and by extension, sadly, which don’t

I follow a subreddit for haters of this one true crime podcast and someone posted “is anyone else tired of them saying Fuck ICE at the start of *every episode* now?” and got so many replies saying “What the hell? No, fuck ICE” that they deleted it. Must be lonely, being wrong

What I’ve discovered is that a lot of parents are uncomfortable with the very concept of education, and many things are downstream of this
We are a society of constant violence at schools—everything from ICE kidnappings to shootings—and these filthy maggots who send their kids to private schools not covered by the bill want to pretend they care about education while doing nothing except preventing my kids from being able to contact me.
School cellphone ban passes Pennsylvania Senate: "We want our students focused on learning"
The bipartisan "Bell-to-Bell" bill bars students from using their phones any time they're in school, not just during instructional periods.

Accidentally getting drunk off one large Thursday night old fashioned and googling “why do restaurants have special menus for Valentine’s Day”

One of the high schools I teach at has these benches the students are allowed to spray paint. This is not a “the kids are alright” post, I have a lot of anecdotal evidence to the contrary, I just enjoy when other people hate the goons like I hate the goons.

And if you give up Starbies for a month you are in the one hundredth+ percentile of incomes. It's actually not even on the chart
If your household, not you, all of the income earners in your household, make over $130,500/yr, you are better off than 60% of American households.

If this were true he would have shuttered it ten years ago. He’s doing this now because he has billionaire brain damage and it makes sense to him in a way we can’t access because we don’t get kicked in the head by a horse every day
Bezos isn't destroying the Washington Post because it isn't profitable. He's destroying the Washington Post because he's calculated that a robust free press threatens the ability of his class to warp society around their interests

Students throwing up their hands and mouthing What?? to each other when I announce that absences for school activities and college-visiting trips are not "excused absences:" We're going to have a big semester, together. A big adventure

According to the finances-managing half of my marriage, the amount of money we’re saving by not eating out is “shocking” at the “Oh my God” level. I don’t need exact numbers really, this will do for me

Why do I chafe when encouraged to buy books as an act of political resistance…you know what, we don’t need to examine it

Someone needed to goose meme this writer re: her concept for this book. “I’m going to reimagine Patrick Bateman as a 19th-Century English governess.” “Ah. To what end? [honking, biting] To what end???”

Son just finished The Long Walk and wants more. What do you suppose a 13-year-old boy’s next Stephen King should be?

Generously estimating that ~15% of this website’s users care if a video labeled “from this morning” is actually from today (this one isn’t.) The rest are divided into 2 camps: clout sharks and people who have never heard the term clout shark.
Video from this morning shows ICE agents deploying tear gas outside a Minneapolis preschool as parents shout, “This is a preschool! There’s kids here!”
