“Kenya, you cannot come in here with those dreadlocks and that mask. This is a place of learning!”

I think part of it is the schools having to close so early—laws mandate children in grades 1-12 have to attend a certain mandatory number of days per year. That’s why if you have lots of snow days in winter summer vacation might not start until late June.

They can also suspend a black kid for having dreads, then UNANIMOUSLY uphold that rule in July, 2020.

“Jenny, you are showing too much skin and it is making the boys and Mr. Boner-in-class too agitated during lessons. We are going to need to single you out, attempt to shame you, stuff you in a ugly and poorly cleaned sweatshirt and, if you resist any of this, call your parents to stop what they are doing and…

Despite recommendations from CDC health officials, the district has called mask-wearing a “personal choice” and said that social distancing “will not be possible to enforce” in “most cases.” While the school provided teachers with face shields and masks and encouraged staff and students to wear them, they are not…

Are you from the northeast? The South and west historically started sooner and ended sooner, because of heat in un-air conditioned schools. I grew up in PA and it was sometime during my education (I wanna say late 90s) that school went from after Labor Day to the week before. My sons school starts 8/25.

Unrelated question from a Gen Xer.

Biden could kill and eat a kitten on live television AND pick Ivanka as his running mate, and I’d still probably vote for him over Trump in November.

He was clearly giving back a “do you beat your wife” absurdity, to make a point. A quick and sharp point, by the way.

Yeah the first part isn’t great but it’s certainly better than the second half

“No, I haven’t taken a test. Why the hell would I take a test? Come on, man,”

Right. Like reports had leaked from the family that the script was terrible. I couldn't understand why she was holding on to a script that wasn't going to get her what she wanted. Then when you watch it it's clear that the movie is trying to be my week with Marylin but make it Nina Simone. And it's crazy. And on some…

Last choice? C’mon now, I know it has been a few months since it all ended but did you forget that Michael Bloomberg was also sort of in the primary? And Klobuchar? And Mayo Pete? Biden wasn’t in my top ten but there were a lot worse on the ballot.

The COVID pandemic is the best thing that could have happened to Biden politically. It highlighted Trump’s lack of crisis management skills, derailed the economic expansion and, most importantly, allowed Biden to avoid extensively and exhaustively traveling the country making unscripted appearances. There’s talk of…

This.

You’re voting for his VP at this point.  There’s no way this guy makes it more than a year.

I legit laughed when I read this headline because why is this real life.

Thank you. Zoe Saldana wanted her coin and an Oscar but the script was trash, the prosthetic nose and shoe polish makeup was next level trash, and her inability to say less during promotion made it career ending trash.

She’s a clown. Everyone and their mother begged her not to take this role. Even in this mea culpa she doesn’t talk about the DRIVING reason why she should have never entertained the idea of the part, which is Colorism. Honestly she could have saved this. We knew what is was then and we know what it is now. She was a…

Good for her for admitting it was a bad decision but it wasn’t just her looks that didn’t fit the part. It was also her voice. She brought nothing to that role.
