Teacher here. We had the opportunity to radically re-form schools during and after the pandemic. School systems instead chose to double-down on shit that hadn’t worked well before the pandemic.

You clearly haven’t dunked your nuggets in the Big Mac sauce.😋 /s

And the other 33% are either nativists or bootlickers

There’s also the film Soylent Green (1973), though that isn’t lab-grown human tissue

I’m a teacher. I bought this book for my own children. It’s a book about being true to yourself, even when you don’t feel like you fit in. You don’t have to be “blue” or “pink” if you feel like you fit into both categories.

Yes, it’s a book about being trans, but there are other ways to read the book, especially if your audience is young. Accepting and loving yourself. Inclusion. Tolerance. It’s a sweet book, and so of course people are going to get mad… it teaches kids acceptance, not hate!

But… Han shot first?

That’s great if you qualify, but you have to be below a certain income threshold. Not everyone does.

npcnews.

Someone go tell Asst. Mayor Bellweather that she was right! The otters have gone savage!

Thank you for summarizing this nonsense for those of us who haven’t been following!

Affecting 3rd of US Residents

Not 1/3 or 1/3rd or even a 3rd? I miss the days when news companies hired proofreaders.

I’m not going to say this is nothing–because as the ban on tobacco and liquor advertising showed us, it’s not nothing --but is the best we can do banning firearm ads???

I hear “proton p–” and immediately start looking around for the Ghostbusters. Anyway, carry on.

When I was at summer camp as a kid, we always referred to the water as either “milk water” or “carbonated water” because of that effect.

British vs. American spelling, that’s all.

You know that’s not a law, right? The ratings system is something movie theaters and movie production companies have all agreed to. Unless there is a specific law in your local jurisdiction, in the US at least, there’s no national (or even state, I believe) law that says kids can’t see rated R movies

If it is that I’m planting an idea in people’s heads, then it’s that I’m their king. World peace is only minutes away! Climate change addressed immediately! Corporations stripped of their power in the face of new labor laws!

If I’m just communicating, then it would have to be something absurd, like “bite my shiny, metal ass.”

Wells Fargo makes BILLIONS of dollars per year. $125m is pocket change to them. Lock up some of the top executives–and not in one of those nice minimum security prisons, either–and see how quickly they change their tone.
