It’s only a matter of time before a case that could overturn Roe comes up. Looking at SCOTUS blog, which has a section on cases that could come up in the next term for the court, which is next summer, there’s nothing that really works for that purpose.

I’ve had issues with my weight and body image since I was a teenager. I’ve tried dieting and exercise, which have had mixed results. I don’t like how exercise seems like a chore and not something I enjoy. It’s not my idea of pleasure to spend time on a treadmill or spend time bundling up to walk outside during most…

It happens everywhere. The local newspaper that really isn’t interested in doing too much investigative journalism anymore did a long piece on chronic sexual harassment by several tenured professors in one academic department at the school I work at. The state settled with the victims at the cost of over $50k spent on…

It was even better that each of Nicholson’s parents donated the legal maximum to Baldwin for both last year, when he started running ads before Thanksgiving and this year.  

Last year the Sperry Chalet hotel building burned down in Glacier. That’s in the process of being rebuilt, with lots of private donations.

Most churches and other venues that host those types of events have semi-private rooms with doors for that reason. The other reason is for a space for parents to take unruly and tired kids in to calm them down.

If it’s close to the Lysa Arryn commitment to extending breast feeding as long as possible, then it’s not appropriate.

One of my dad’s favorite “salads” is your classic fruit salad with apples, bananas, grapes, marshmallows, and most importantly real whipped cream. He knows when you’ve cheated and used cool whip because it tastes too thin for him. After my mom passed away almost 2 years ago, he asked me to make a fruit salad for…

A scene that King seems to regret including in retrospect and if it were up to him today, would not be included in reprints of IT. He seems to have had regrets about it in the late 80s when the original miniseries came out, because said scene was omitted from that and the recent movie.

This isn’t the first time that they’ve let a bad principal resign and get a soft landing. Another one was caught embezzling money, put on medical leave, and resigned at the end of the academic year recently.

There was a minor controversy recently where I live over the public schools. A teacher of 20+ years posted a lengthy blog post about her decision to resign in May. She said she made the decision because she couldn’t work another year under the principal, who had been there 3 years. The teacher said that as of middle…

He was still involved with the show as an executive producer, more so in S7 after the cancellation of Firefly.

Judicial races can be bought, same as any other electoral race. The amount of money that has been spent on Wisconsin Supreme Court elections in the past 5 years alone is astonishing. The court is as partisan as it’s ever been and its ruling reflect that divide. Some recent ones have been just awful, specifically…

Hiring more isn’t always the solution, especially in the public sector. Perhaps a better solution is the expectation that people hired as full time workers work full time. It’s also a management failing when their behavior is allowed to slide, but those without kids are held to higher standards. I would just like the…

I would be beg to differ about the dependability of parents compared to non-parents. In my office, it’s evenly split between the two. Myself and the boss are the ones without kids and we’re the only ones who can be depended upon to arrive on time, be flexible when it comes to staffing emergencies, and have less…

Whites from rural areas. Most of your large Midwestern land grant and public universities could fill 90% of their incoming class with kids from the urban centers and associated suburbs. They can’t because that means that kids from the majority of the state that is more rural wouldn’t have a fair chance. Their parents…

If his kid ends up going to the school where she teaches, I hope that she doesn’t have to have the kid in her class. She has every right to not have his kid in her class because of this incident.

Vukmir got the WI GOP endorsement in May, and the primary’s in August.

Another Wisconsin resident here. This ad is such an incredibly stark contrast to the ads that have gone viral nationally for some Wisconsin Democrats, especially Randy Bryce for Paul Ryan’s seat in Congress and Kelda Roys for governor. Tammy Baldwin’s ads are also in the same vein - the hopeful and positive, here’s…

I’ll second the avoiding a DUI reason. I don’t drink when I go out to eat if I have to drive home for that reason. Yeah, I live in Wisconsin where it makes both the TV news and newspaper if someone has gotten their 5th or more DUI and still has their driver’s license. I usually end up as the designated driver.
