My wife teaches (not AISD) and her district has more jack off days than I thought possible.

How many school-age kids have died from Covid-19?

Q meets aggy.

I think a guy crazy enough to try and pull off such a moronic stunt is the type of guy stupid enough to go to trial. If I recall, the Chicago DA tried to sweep it under the rug, but the state stepped in and appointed a special prosecutor. Juicy was too stupid to take a plea and get off the stage.

No words for this other than psychotic insanity. Clearly our police departments are doing a terrible job with cops mental health. No normal, sane person does this. Juxtapose with the discussion of California smash and grabs where many retailers are not stopping shoplifters at all, and this nut job says: "shoplifting? yeah, worthy of a death sentence." Unless the guy had a gun how could a dude in a Little Rascal be a real danger to anyone. WTF?

Surprisingly, Snopes actually updated it to True. I figured it would at least get a "lacks context" with a 1,000-word bloviation about the role of the media in ensuring democracy and fair trials or somesuch.

The hysterics seem to not fully line up with the data we have to date around the mortality rate of this strain. It's odd that so few "experts" seem to realize than most viruses as they mutate tend to increase in transmission and decrease in virility. We are used to dealing with ancient coronaviruses every year ...

https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/criminal-justice/ct-jussie-smollett-trial-day-three-20211201-pyfsnefqsjal5mgbypnbnvoh6i-story.html Abimbola Osundairo, who told police Jussie Smollett recruited him to stage a phony hate crime attack, has taken the stand at Smollett’s trial. Abimbola and his brother Olabinjo are expected to be crucial witnesses against Smollett. The brothers’ cooperation with police turned the “Empire” actor from the victim of a racist and homophobic attack into a suspected hoaxer. Smollett now faces felony charges of lying to police about the attack. Smollett’s defense, meanwhile, has painted the Osundairo brothers as criminals and opportunistic liars, perhaps motivated by homophobia. Abimbola Osundairo walked into court before 2:30 p.m. wearing a black turtleneck with a thin gold chain around his neck. He had a matching black and gold mask. A number of his supporters crowded the courtroom as his questioning began. Under questioning from prosecutor Dan Webb, Osundairo, who goes by the nickname “Bola,” said he became very close friends with Smollett, who pulled some strings to help him get a stand-in position on the “Empire” set. “I would call him my brother,” he said. Prosecutors have said it was Abimbola whom Smollett first contacted in January 2019 asking for help “on the low” in planning the hoax assault

No kidding. I primarily mask doing yard work. And you guys are right ... maybe I'm a little more judgey than I want to believe ... but I don't care who you are, a person alone in a car with a mask is just funny.

Everyone I know that has seen it echoed Smith's best performance.

I admit occasionally I'll try and snap a pic and send to my buddies, but I laugh at 99% of the mask theatrics. But I don't judge them. We live in a world of disinformation, and I understand not every person has the time, desire, or ability to read past the tweets, talking heads, and headlines and absorb the details themselves.

Do whatever works for your family. We've basically lived a normal life since May 2020. Traveled domestically and internationally. Been to myriad movies, concerts, sporting events and parties and eat out 2-3 times / week and hit the bars. Hangout with friends all the time. I don't judge anyone for making their personal choices.

Baylor - win vs. (5), 12, 14 - loss to 5 ... and Fatterson.

I had the same reaction when I read @Don Johnson post yesterday ... it says a lot about our world that some are afraid to say "this is a problem, and something should be done about it." The tribalism is exhausting.

No way this doesn't suck. Agree that Smith and Hart totally miscast for all the reasons above. If you have to do a black remake, Anthony Anderson would be perfect for the Steve Martin character ... agree too that not sure John Candy can be replaced. Maybe do a re-imagine vs. a re-make (agree the Jumanji movies were fantastic).
