I had a philosophy class that very much changed the way I thought about constructing a persuasive argument and properly attaching evidence and support. So many other writing, language arts, and communications classes/units didn't do it.

This is an important point. Ask a "go to trade school" person if that's their hope/plan for *their* kids?
The trades people I knew growing up told me to go to college to get a job where I could make more$, sit comfortably, work in the air conditioning, enjoy year-round employment...

And as a "public figure," former council person, and lawyer, she's got just over 100 more followers than people she follows. 🙄

The thing is, I can see that it feeds into the "see, both sides do it..."

I mean, isn't that Trump's entire premise? That America sucks and that he's the only one who can make it better. He's been talking about how much he hates America for 10 years and his crowds cheer and cheer...

Good news! McCarthy had some great reads here! 😆 He correctly read the play and saw the window & the separation... then oof.
Whereas Maye last week made so many of his perfect throws look effortless. Like backyard football with some friends, just a light toss on the hands of a WR in an open window.

I think it was @adamfrank4.bsky.social that (if I'm remembering & describing correctly) compared studies to spit-balls trying to change the course of a ship. 1 outlier is just that, maybe an interesting theory. It can be ignored & dismissed but when there is enough of them, it makes a difference.

It's giving, "Anybody could run behind that OL" followed by the Cowboys going 0-2 during Emmitt Smith's holdout.
Or Marty Schottenheimer's "can I finish .500 or above even if we start 0-5?"

The idealist in me supported the anti-gerrymandering, independent commission deal in Virginia. I was so naive and uninformed.
I still like the idea, but if nothing is done at a national level to limit gerrymandering, then limiting yourself is foolish.

This quote from @kibblesmith.com seems to ring true:
"They’re Nazis who are following you *out of the Nazi bar* because being just sitting there being a Nazi isn’t fun, the whole point is tormenting people, how dare you ignore them, how dare your life not revolve around entertaining them for free."
