New Englanders should check out the Boston Pride (https://pride.premierhockeyfederation.com/) and the Boston Renegades (https://www.bostonrenegadesfootball.org/). The Pride just won the Isobel Cup, and the Renegades start defending their championship on April 16th (first home game is April 30th). The games are fun and…

It was in Canada, which is where my girlfriend lives. My really hot Canadian girlfriend.

‘Well hey, we’re going to have kind of a sexual get together at one of our homes, you should come.’

She has one kid but strong opinions why other people should have more.

I think it’s some sort of bizarre performative protectiveness. He wants to convince his weird supporters that he’s a good father, but just has no idea how to do it.

Someone call QAnon, the elitist pedophiles have been in the GOP all along.

That’s definitely a fair point, but SEL also has basically nothing to do with history. These weird conservative obsessions just spiral around and around like some demented ouroboros.

Basically, although most schools work on SEL way past kindergarten. It’s a super broad topic, and really has nothing to do with CRT. The weird AIM video tried to link them, but it didn’t really make any sense. Which I guess was expected.

Social-emotional learning, or SEL, is not related to critical race theory. I watched the video (ugh), and although there were a lot of claims about SEL being the same thing as CRT, there’s really no evidence presented for that. Given that schools really aren’t teaching CRT in the first place, I don’t understand what…

That killing the dragon rider with a sling is just crappy DMing. It’s someone going “look how I reward unorthodox tactics!”, but it’s actually just a poorly balanced adventure.

Right? Although they were a diverse group, and I’ll bet some of them had very different positions.

Many of the Founders were quite explicit that religious freedom/tolerance extended to non-Christian faiths, including Judaism, Islam, and Hinduism (https://www.hinduismtoday.com/magazine/jul-aug-sept-2021/john-adams-view-of-hinduism/, https://www.loc.gov/loc/lcib/0205/tolerance.html). They could also be quite explicit…

He is the gross gift that keeps on giving.

Yeah, QAnoners are generally all gold medalists in mental gymnastics.

Yes, also that. Although she may be too old for his tastes at this point.

Donald Trump has actually sexually assaulted people, was a friend of Epstein, has made inappropriately sexual comments about girls, supported Roy Moore, and almost certainly exposed children to trafficking given his horrible immigration policies but he’s somehow the god-emperor of people who pretend to care about…

Yeah, it sort of was. And I knew it, but was still surprised. It’s especially frustrating since I only get one NPR station where I live, and I didn’t have a lot of options.

I listened to some of the hearings yesterday. I was very impressed with the nominee, although I also don’t know nearly enough to have an informed opinion. I did find the grandstanding, from both the Republicans and the Democrats, the be tedious. The senators should have spent more time listening and less time…

No one does elite entitlement quite like a GOP populist.

I don’t have a name for it, but there are quite a few drivers in Maine who think that the lines on the roads are just gentle suggestions. Lots of people drifting across the center line because it’s too much both not to.
