I bet he totally got special access to go up to the crown or torch whenever he wanted.

Checkmate!

I firmly believe that everyone enjoys reading* most just haven’t found their books. That’s why there are spikes in reading around popular erotica like 50 shades, or smutty fantasy, or book release parties for the Harry Potter books etc…

*- for definitions of reading that aren’t strictly processing printed words on a physical page.

I could be wrong, but this seems problematic…

This is why I’ve started reading one book, listening to a different audio book in my right earbud and streaming someone doing a YouTube read a loud in the other Earbud. Burning through that TBR…

This was in Minneapolis earlier this year and the demand was through the roof.

They also don’t produce it either apparently.

In the states I’ve lived in, Junior High and Middle school are both synonymous with grades 6-8

That was what I was referring to. I was being a bit hyperbolic, but a year in national service (beyond just the military) to do community service and gain skills in general not a new proposal. Pete Buttigieg suggested it after HS as part of his candidacy during the 2020 democratic primary.

That’s fair. In my district your insurance is covered if you qualify for assistance, but intentional damage isn’t included in insurance.

In my school we will still replace the Chromebook though (barring admin or district saying otherwise), and the financial impact will be fought by others at the district level. It’s above my pay grade.

Yes they are. These 9th graders are feral though. That realization would require forethought.

Some of these kids should have been sent out to cut trail for a year between HS and Middle School.

Hoffstetter has been on fire lately. He’s a fun follow.

Yore thinking of a feeling of sadness, I think the word you’re thinking of is Melania.

Robert Barron, bishop of the Diocese of Winona–Rochester in Minnesota, was appointed less than a week ago by President Trump to the new White House Commission on Religious Liberty. This week, however, he was at the Vatican with hundreds of other prelates as the cardinal electors gather for the conclave to choose a new pontiff.

…

“Cardinal George of Chicago, of happy memory, was one of my great mentors, and he said: 'Look, until America goes into political decline, there won’t be an American pope.’ And his point was, if America is kind of running the world politically, culturally, economically, they don’t want America running the world religiously. So, I think there’s some truth to that, that we’re such a superpower and so dominant, they don’t wanna give us, also, control over the church.”

Chicago Pope proclaims he’s “on a mission from God”, looking to “get the band back together.”

The late 90’s to early 2000s were a terrible time on the internet in many ways and yet in may others it was the best of times.

Can we just pick up and move King’s Island and Cedar Point somewhere better?

Sadly I fully expect to hear that parroted from family soon.
