Charter schools - the wrong answer to the wrong problem. Predicated on the belief that the one group of people who should have no say in how to run schools is teachers.

How else can they have complete control over every minute of employee’s time? Because we all know micro-management is the road to productivity!
Some people (on the bird app) got mad at me when I said she belonged to a weird Christian sex cult. But she belongs to a weird Christian sex cult. Which is fine, but it’s not fine that she is in a weird Christian sex cult and also sits on SCOTUS. Or maybe that’s just me with more crazy talk.
The New Madrid Fault is going to go boom someday, but it’s almost certainly a bigger threat to Memphis and St. Louis than Nashville or East Tennessee, where you’re more likely to find Dolly. Still, being prepared is good!
I was three in 1969. Sesame Street is and always will be central to my heart.
Oh please fuck off. Blaming “Gen X” is like blaming “Boomers.” The evil is white supremacists, bigots of all stripes, and the plutocrats. Age has nothing to do with it.
I’d wondered why I hadn’t seen that in a while.
It’s his own fault. This was 100% inevitable. Only surprising part is that it took this long. I want him to live long enough to get trounced on Nov 3. After that, he’s on his own.
Indeed. Apparently, there are medieval European manuscripts that have people using zero in their calculations, then converting it to Roman for the public. Weird to us, but if you think of zero as “unnatural,” it makes sense.
According to Charles Seife in “Zero” The Biography of a Danger Idea,” ancient Greeks (and thus presumably Romans) knew about the concept of zero, they just really, really hated it, mainly because using it led to encountering infinity, which they hated even more.
He’s a grown up College Republican Weenie. And they are the worst.
Maybe I didn’t explain it well.
I usually ask these people to explain forest fires - if forest fires happen naturally, does that mean arson is fake news?
I live in such an embarrassing state. Look, there’s a lot great here, a lot of great people, but we also have a disproportionate number of assholes who vote. I’m sorry, America.
I bought my house specifically because it had the largest kitchen I could afford, for just this reason.
I respond to all of that gasbag’s tweets (the ones I see anyway, I sure as heck don’t follow him) by calling him America’s Dumbest Pundit(TM). I know there are other candidates, but I’m sticking with him.
I’m Genx, old GenX (routinely mistaken for a Boomer), and I approve this message.
I’m surprised there’s not much mention of her gun activism. She was pretty active re: Parkland.
I’ve had this argument with gun nuts. They seriously point to Vietnam and Afghanistan as evidence that anyone with an assault rifle and a dream can beat the US military. That North Vietnam was backed by China and the USSR and the Taliban is backed by Pakistan seems to have escaped their attention.
As one should.
