School districts typically partner with outside groups that offer that assistance, rather than providing it all themselves.

The kids all know — or think they know — about this already, thanks to social media apps their parents may not even know anything about and definitely don’t have full access to.

The student newspaper can actually take this from whispering in the social media virtual hallway and talk about what’s actually happening and…

She theoretically has access to a lot of the other services that other people who are housing insecure have. But those services are also notoriously underfunded.

Lodi Unified teaches kids about slavery, Holocaust and more. (And that’s just in history class!) No reasonable person thinks they’re encouraging that behavior by educating their students. The student newspaper doing an inarguably newsworthy story isn’t encouraging anything either.

If officials were worried that the…

You should avoid fannish sites until you’ve seen GoT/Endgame because the entire internet is going to be spoiling it hard and discussing the shit out of it.

It’s not right, but io9 is hardly unique here and, again, nearly everyone else has managed to avoid these spoilers. You can take a few days off from fannish sites.…

I’m sorry, am I both the parent and the adviser to the student newspaper in this case?

Because my comment was about the school district bragging about non-porn student businesses, which school districts do constantly.

Since the newspaper wasn’t ever going to print any porn in the paper, the district is just trying to…

Then avoid fannish sites until you’ve seen it?

Only the folks who saw the movie at its midnight release haven’t had to run this gauntlet to some degree. It’s a completely doable thing to avoid spoilers, which the rest of us did.

The Red Room uses cloning. Natasha’s coming back, although she won’t be the person we remember, at least initially.

And Captain Marvel has the Superman problem: She’s so much more powerful than everyone else on the team, you have to either sideline her in some fashion or you raise the question as to why this is a team…

Melisandre died as she lived: confused and ineffectual.

Why would anyone believe that this prophecy is any different than anything else she’s prophesized?

This is indefensible behavior by the school district. There’s zero chance a teacher is going to be printing porn on the student newspaper. If this article was about Duffel starting any other legal business making comparable money, the district would be calling all the newspapers, bragging about what kinds of students…

Auto-playing music is probably the only evil thing Facebook hasn’t done at this point.

So, you know, 2020.

Look, we can’t have civil and reasonable discussions on the Internet. I’m pretty sure that’s a rule, anyway.

Yes, it sucks that a beloved franchise is getting what looks like a gorgeous RPG created by a well-respected RPG publisher.

All involved should be ashamed of themselves.

“You see us as you want to see us—in the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions. But what we found out is that each one of us is a space trucker ...and a marine...and a corporate agent...an android...and a colonist. Does that answer your question?”

Waiters make more money. Most journalists make salaries that compare to the starting salaries for teachers in their markets.

I don’t know any print journalists who are in it for the fame, although some clearly enjoy it when it happens to them.

Broadcast folks, on the other hand ...

Pieology, also all over SoCal, is also better than Mod, largely because of the crust.

I’ve spent some time with people in the funeral industry, and it really is a cool and interesting world and the personalities and motivations of the people working there aren’t what I assumed. But that first moment has to be a real make or break moment.

The Avengers still holds up. Firefly still mostly holds up. Large portions of Buffy hold up.

Before deciding that this will be all of Whedon at his worst, when it’s created by a Whedon who’s gone through all the stuff you’re reacting to publicly, and this show is being created in 2019, maybe let’s at least wait for a…

There’s obviously an audience for that, although I’m not sure I’d be comfortable going to sleep around a lot of them.
