This was my experience also in the private school where I sent my son last year. I’m still traumatized from the experience.

Seconded.

Yes traditionally, it’s the person who *wrote* the song’s song, with a larger MADE FAMOUS BY for the star it’s often associated.

Same thing where I live. Plus the private school teachers don't need masters degrees.

I’d be interested to know how much the teachers actually make. I’ve known some teachers at some high end private schools (not anywhere near this high end) who made significantly less than what the local public school teachers were making.

THIS. Certainly Whitney Houston’s cover in the 90s (from The Bodyguard soundtrack, lest we forget) was beautiful and she made it her own, but yeah, credit where credit is due, especially since Dolly Parton actually wrote the song.

I prefer to think of it more as Beyoncé covering Dolly Parton, who wrote it in 1973 and recorded it first.

You’re probably right, but let’s hope they checked the right procedural boxes so that, if this guy is a rapist, he doesn’t end up being reinstated or getting a financial windfall.

There is nothing passive aggressive about it. She called him a twat. That’s (jokingly) aggressive-aggressive. And the fact that the person is telling it as why she is his favorite is a clue that it wasn’t serious.

Yes. Because it was a joke and she had mentioned his name as a thank you in the Emmy (which is sweet). And people with an actual sense of humor like jokes. The person telling the story is telling it endearingly and said she was his favorite.

Also, another reason to love Bea Arthur:

This thissity this. Bea was was the original Bey.

While Golden Girls may have been the height of Bea’s popularity, I always liked her in Maude better. The show also starred Esther Rolle as Florida Evans (Good Times) and Rue McClanahan as the next door neighbor.

*sits back and waits for mitten to explain what Trump’s policies actually are?*

*sits back and waits for mittens to explain which policies are so different*

Does she know, I wonder, that she is preaching to the choir (full of people swaying, not because they got the spirit, but because they're sick)?

Hot take: missionary is great. People say “Awww, so vanilla, maaaaaan!” Seriously? Have you ever had really good vanilla ice cream? With, like real vanilla bean? It’s goddamn delicious. Much like missionary.

Get those dismiss buttons ready, everyone. Remember: replying to a troll helps ungray them!

The problem is that when teachers go on strike, parents don’t experience some come-to-Jesus moment when they start appreciating teachers for putting up with their shitty kids. Parents resent and blame the teachers for making the parents deal with their own shitty kids for the duration of the strike.
