My prior building principal was terrible. After a series of homophobic actions from several different students targeting a student of mine, I emailed her about my concerns for my student’s safety. I suggested that we all need to be better if students don’t feel as safe as they deserve to feel. Because she was…

For those so inclined to read more, The Ringer has a pretty good piece on Shock G:

Just want to say that I love Jessica Jones and I'm bummed as hell that she's not getting another netflix run

Thsty line was both convincing and totally badass

I'm so sorry about your dog. We had to put our old girl down at the end of November. She was 13 and she was crashing. The silver lining: my school was on remote classes since the beginning of the year, so I was able to spend a lot of time with our Bailey in her final months

Yeah, he is.

You keep posting these stories and cops are looking pretty bad. You know what you have to do to make cops look bad? Nothing. They seem to be doing a pretty serviceable job of that all by themselves

Facts

And she's always represented Philly, too. She's incredible, and it's just not possible to say enough about her.

In his defense, though, they watched his program, they bought his toys, they went to his movies, so fucking A right he owed them.

And here I thought the dumbest thing PP ever did was proclaim the Bucks were in real trouble against the Celtics after losing game one at home. The Bucks, of course, won the next four straight.

SC native living in Wisconsin now, but my rooting interests are always with the Palmetto state, and I'll say this: I LOVE Dawn Staley. When she's done, they're going to have a bronze statue of her outside Colonial Life Arena. Never mind her team success. Her social advocacy is incredible, and her shadow looms large.…

I look at the stats obsessively. You are correct. To wit: people are relaxed because we’re not hitting the highwater mark from Jan/Feb when we were losing 20000 people per week in the US. In August, we were losing around 4000 per week. Currently, we’re still around 8000 deaths per week. This is absolutely not the time…

Your comment about the winds of fate rings especially true. If I had a dollar for every time I’ve heard someone talk about people with risk factors and/or “we all gotta die of something,” I have a lot of cash. That mentality is so foolish, IMO. My dad, for instance, is 82. He has a pacemaker and defibrilator. Since…

The disconnect is real. Our friend’s father died from Covid about two months ago. Long story short: as cruel as I sound, I don’t know how else to say it —- they killed their own dad/ granddad.

Good point.

Then the answer is "Both." His team has to know how utterly stupid he is. It's their responsibility to protect him from himself, however difficult that task may be. All told, it's a master class in bumbling incompetence.

And, by the looks of things, he either has the worst handlers in human history, or he is so fucking stupid that he can't get out of his own way. His actions seem like they're ripped straight from the pages of the "How Not to Handle a Shitstorm" playbook.

I grew up in the south and spent a lot of time around water as a kid. Moccasins were the only thing that really scared us. Their aggression is nothing to be trifled with. A friend survived being bitten while he was fishing in a pond. He was lucky as hell.

Cosigned. There's some kind of magnetic pull for the word. No idea why, honestly, but it's definitely there for some people.
