Texas teacher pay raise.
Another band aid on the lack of school finance reform. So glad we spent all that legislative energy on concealed carry and bathrooms.

I hope my fireman friend (who voted for Trump) can see this as an affront to the first responders who died on 9/11.

How about keeping the electoral college, but consolidating less-populous states?

Need a new non stick frying pan
I mainly cook with the carbon steel, but the non-stick sure comes handy for crepes, pasta w/cheese, and those one-dish recipes we cook during the work week.

86th Texas Legislative Session 01/08/19 - 05/27/19 thread of fail
I am not arguing that Finland is not doing exceptional things, but... This is misleading and the truth is often glossed over in discussions about the education system in Finland. The "one exam" is actually a series of high-stakes tests that determine which universities you can enter and which fields you can study, narrowing down your choices of profession. Are you smart and want to be a lawyer? If all the Finnish mothers took genius pills the year you were born, you may be out of luck (each year, Finnish Universities only accept a set number of students in each discipline), or you might have to study abroad and pay for your higher education. Finnish students know this and are preparing for these exams from the time they enter their first grade in school. They know they have to master the material no matter how good the teacher.

The movie you just watched
Wife got to choose yesterday and today because she is working this week and I am not; Pirates of the Caribbean 1 and 2 on New Year's Eve and 3 this afternoon. I watched King Arthur: The Tale of the Sword on Monday before the wife came home from work. It lives down to the reviews.

I don't see them being convicted of drug offenses. And I don't see the bill gaining Trump votes or money in his pocket.
