She’s engaging in “unschooling” which is the latest in the realm of homeschooling, where everything is child directed. You only have to learn what ‘fascinates you’! If you don’t feel like learning how to do long division,don’t! Just go to the nature center for the afternoon.

What REALLY pisses me off (not that the nonsense rationale of this administration doesn’t get me livid) is that the Florida program that looks to arm teachers is named after Aaron Feis, the coach that tragically died heroically shiding students from the shooter last month.

Not only are you correct in this instance, but I can’t help but feel like this has been a consistent through-line for our politics since the Reagan Administration: well, we could do the the smart, sensible thing. But that might interfere with our ability to pretend, in a crisis, that we would personally transform into…

The White House’s official proposal would fund firearms training programs for school staff and strengthen criminal background and mental health checks.

Just saw the sketch this is from for the first time - just gold.

I’ve never understood the Republican line that we should take money away from schools that aren’t doing well enough as opposed to investing more resources in them to help them to do better.

Running this through my Trump Brand Empty-Words-To-Bullshit-Translate-O-Matic:

I would have put my money on a gigantic gold “Live Laugh Love” on her office wall, like the millions of other dipshits out there.

Given his history, do you really think he or his lawyers would include an infidelity clause?

Strongly disagree. Frida really was a classically beautiful woman in most ways, and with minimal effort should could have easily been known as a “great beauty” but I think she maybe was even a little contemptuous of the very concept of a “classical female beauty”— Frida was strong in her own sense of beauty, and many…

Some of it may have to do with Frida Kahlo’s political leanings — she joined the Mexican Communist Party in 1927, and now her image is being monetised for a large corporation’s profit. I’m not horrified or astonished by this but the irony is somewhat wry and unpleasant. What’s next? An Emma Goldman Barbie?

Because many Mexican-American girls would enjoy playing “brilliant Mexican Woman Artist” the same way generations of WASPy girls had tea parties and ‘overnights’ with lilly white Barbie?

I had enough problems with Hayek playing Kahlo because Salma is so much prettier to begin with, but she got a pass from me for it because she had such a passion for the project and wanted to get the story right. At least she has a passing resemblance to Frida, and can’t really help the fact that she’s Hollywood pretty…

This is Frida Kahlo as she saw herself. Note the lack of eyebrow shaving. Note the lack of upper lip waxing or bleaching. Note the look of “I don’t give a fuck about your beauty standards”. This “Barbie doll” version of her is an abomination.

Yes. It’s her defining feature, and she emphasized it in all of her self portraits.

It’s a really insidious part of American culture how many families claim to have Native American heritage. It’s like it’s supposed to absolve these people of the tacit guilt we all share for the genocide of the Native American people.

I thought she had already admitted that the family story might be wrong.

I honestly...I get what she was trying to do? But don’t turn my work day into an Easter egg hunt. If I found money all over a room I don’t know what I’d think, but I wouldn’t assume it was my tip. In fact, my first thought might be that this was a trick to see if I’d turn it in and if I didn’t I’d be fired.

I am so sick of media outlets (even the famously “liberal” “MSM”) giving attention to Trump supporters who now realize they made a mistake. Congratulations, Jenner/Omorosa/Gary Cohn/ whatever other dipshit, you are just now figuring out what the majority of the country knew in 2015. You don’t get a fucking parade.

One might say the same thing about Jenner herself.
