We don't deserve The Good Place. Multiple meanings with this.

...I posted this a couple of weeks before COVID began and made it my pinned tweet almost 5 years ago. So here it is again.
I totally geeked out over the episode, "spirit week" in season 2 of Man on the Inside having Shklar, Montesquieu, and Can't on the white board.

All the love for The Good Place, always.

We got swatted today. I just want kids to be kids. I am so effing exhausted from this. 14 years of teaching, 14 years of school shootings, beginning with Sandy Hook.

That's the age of a HS 9th grader.

Let’s help keep two rural public radio stations on the air despite budget cuts due to federal defunding. Next viewers have raised $50,000 for KRZA in the San Luis Valley and @ksutpublicradio.bsky.social in the Four Corners. I’ll match the next fifty $5 donations: cfssc.fcsuite.com/erp/donate/c...

Grandpa might need to lie down
Trump: "They brought him one and I won't tell you who it was, but it was a big name but the chest wasn't exactly what you need. One shot and your heart would pop out. That wasn't too good. Then he did another one and he was fat, sloppy, but had a good face."
