This is some cultural appropriation shit

Oh yeah, the Seattle favorite. It’s where they invented it.

I tried to make this argument to friends: all schools should have the same administration, same curriculum, and teach the same things at the same times.

And! In case you think that that’s insufferably prescriptive, while the schools all get the same equipment, principals and teachers have way more freedom than a lot of places to adapt the curriculum to suit their area or the children they’re teaching. Near the coast? Nature classes can be about fish and language…

Several years ago, I read an article about the Finnish government’s complete overhaul of their services for children a few decades ago. The first step was the famous Finnish baby box - a cardboard box that doubles as a cradle - filled with essentials for a newborn child. Because it is Finland, it includes essentials…

Sorry I am a little slow. What is the purpose of this? Souvenirs?

In other words, busywork. If you’re being  taught a skill that’s already been automated, you’re wasting your time.

I mean, feel free to explain to little Janie all about your Randian jerkoff fantasy and how her mother is a leech on the system but Janie is eight and she’s hungry and she doesn’t understand why adults who have food won’t give her food when she’s hungry.

It was 50 years ago, she was a kid being manipulated. Let her out. She’s a drain on the system and its bs that she’s rotting away while people get away with much more.

I’d add a posthumous Mike Wallace assisted by “only his network is dead” Chris Wallace.

I’m sure she’ll be rejected again.

Nah, we won’t be doing that.

I saw him with his wife and kids out for lunch in Santa Monica about a month ago. He looked normal, healthy and still fine after all these years.  In the pic above, he’s maybe put on 15 lbs. (and let the workouts go) and had some grooming done.

The article says Charlie Rose.

In other words, do your best to recommend every grayed reply to your posts, even if you disagree with them (the exception being for obvious trolling).

Those 60 Minutes make-up people are going to have their hands full. They might want to contact some of the past winners of Face Off.

The AV Club started following me. How does that happen? Does this mean my comments will no longer get stuck in “pending”? Does this mean I’m special? What’s happening?
