  1. For those 2, their political party is tied to their identity. That's the issue more than anything else. Political parties can change their ideologies. When a person's identity (and their friends' identifies, and their families' identities) is tied only to political party nothing matters except staying with the party. Ideology, what's right, what's wrong... they don't matter. Funny thing, you'll hear people say they're liberal, or progressive, or even leftists. You don't really hear many people say they're a Democrat, much less a proud Democrat. I hear people declare how proud they are to be Republican all the time.

    Walk into the men's room with your head held high. ETA: I do realize the very real physical danger that puts you in, so maybe don't. My sentiment spoke faster than my sense.
  3. What a fucking dork.
  4. Am I the only one whose word association with Candace Owens is what Dave Chapelle said? I mean, back when Dave Chapelle wasn't punching down: “I don’t know if it stinks, but I imagine it does. If I ever find out, I’ll let you know, for sure."
  5. NPS rangers (possibly?) sounding the alarm.
  6. Or, based on Elon's competence so far, you could get paychecks for the next 80 years. Sincerely, good luck to you.
  7. "You only see DEI hires reading it."
  8. I seem to remember a conservative poster having a very high opinion of The Financial Times.
  9. You ever seen how middle schoolers treat Chromebooks?
  10. White flight. It's a helluva thing.
  11. Well, thanks to Tim Tebow, homeschooled children will still be able to participate in extracurricular activities at public schools.
  12. Sadly, teachers are just as susceptible to GOP grievance porn as other Americans. They're also just as prone to keep letting the leopards eat their faces.
  13. If a state has 5 school districts with budget deficits, week that means those 5 school districts aren't run very well. If a state has 250 (80%) districts with budget deficits, that means the state isn't run well.
  14. Private school with a $22K/ year tuition. Guess who sits on the Board of Directors... https://www.blazeschool.org/board-of-directors?fbclid=IwY2xjawIgTA1leHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHbptg_UYmpYRkmX9h9PvkxP9-TxZIobgNAgnGSspAD5F_YUUFJHI-uPv5g_aem_vxQPXdB2AwS_MinpElOy3w
  15. Man, I don't know. I just finished Messiah myself, and I don't see the action of the first novel/movie. I can see that turning some folks off. It feels very much like Prophecy. Fortunately, I really liked Prophecy.
  16. Yeah, I always thought he was the "both sides suck" contrarian guy. I guess it was just a cover. Oh well, fool me once.
  17. It's not like teachers don't already have to deal with being labeled stupid, and then these idiots come around spouting the stupid. I know these people exist in all professions, but it just stings a little more seeing it from teachers. The only group that should probably be more anti-Trump is the clergy. But we all know those fuckers that voted for Trump are just straight evil.
  18. Funny how Elon Gault's libertarian mission to end all fraud never extends to the millions (billions?) he has gotten from the government.
  19. "We"? Aren't you a little old to be part of Elon's crew?
  20. 8 of my 9 ESL students were absent on Monday. I have no idea about their immigration status, but I hate that my mind went to worrying that their parents kept them home. Thankfully, they had all returned by the end of the week. But seriously, fuck this timeline.
  21. Wrong. They're just going to expect the schools and teachers to make the accommodations despite not having the staff or resources. Then they'll raise holy Hell and threaten lawsuits (which in Texas they'd win because of reasons) until they get what they want. Special privileges for me... bootstraps for thee. It'll fall on the the people actually doing the work. Same as it ever was.
  22. Orange Appeasement.
