What’s lost beneath the incredible first paragraph of this article is that when the White House was asked for comment they replied, “I FEEL THE NEED FOR SPEED” What the actual fuck is wrong with people. I refuse to ever acknowledge this is normal.

The fact that our president is a literal shit poster is terrifying. Why did no one just set him up with a twitch stream or something so he could just be that terrible click bait racist dude everyone laughs at instead of telling him to be president. Also funny that this is now public record

😳 maybe crime is up in NYC because I just witnessed a murder

He wanted this

New episode out of my podcast with my students analyzing real world issues relating to teenagers. Really proud of this one about the youth mental health crisis as my students got real and discussed their own personal struggles. open.spotify.com/episode/7pDV...

Started a podcast with my AP students to investigate issues that matter to them and learn their views on the world. Maybe we can learn something from the next generation? My pitch for this format: a Socratic Seminar in podcast form. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w...

Been stuck in Florida and missing climbing mountains in Colorado.

Sox, kid

This generic acetaminophen had an Amtrak ACS-64, four Amfleet 1 cars, a Conrail EMD GP15-1, and some Conrail rolling stock in it. The problem is more serious than I thought.

Rarely do I click a video to listen to this guy but I thought “no way this guy pronounces it correctly” lol

The Kimmel suspension is a much bigger deal than you know. It's really about a growing alliance between Trump and the companies that own America's local TV stations - like Nexstar - to turn local TV into Trump propaganda. 1/ Let me tell you the short story. It's chilling.

Hi people! I’m a math/science teacher at a STEM school in Florida. Our school fundraiser is going on & I get 10% of any money donated through this link. Anything would be appreciated to help my school out! We are a place of critical thinking, if you know what I mean givebutter.com/c/BSTWB/memb...

This is an actual exchange from a VP who took an oath to defend the constitution and, as a citizen, is expected to abide by the law. May we one day have accountability for the grotesque lawlessness of this regime.

The president of the United States just declared war, actual military war, not a metaphorical one, on a major American city, and one governed by his political opponents. In any other period, this would be impeachment-worthy.

Rand Paul: "The reason we have trials & we don't automatically assume guilt is what if we make a mistake and they happen to be people fleeing the Venezuelan dictator? ... off our coast it isn't our policy just to blow people up ... even the worst people in our country, they still get a trial."

FYI in 2025 about half of that ($101 million) was allocated for all public school teacher salaries for the entire state. Florida still ranks 50th in teacher pay.

It has been wild to see what were always the two most paranoid pro-Second Amendment scenarios—the government snatching people away and sending occupying armies into communities—literally happen this year, to the delight of conservatives

The Red Sox are fun to watch

As a teacher, can confirm. My admin has suggested its use for lesson planning. I know of plenty of teachers using it rn. I’ve always said, if ai can do your job, why would someone pay you to do it. I think it’s only going to get worse and less smart teachers will be teaching your kids.

Climbed my first 13er, square top mountain. 13,790ft.

Bah habbah

Meanwhile we have one running the country

People who wanted to murder lawmakers? Pardoned. People after the FBI (being used as Trumps personal secret police)? Life in prison.

Maybe because our country is actually falling apart into an authoritative dictatorship with another Middle East war looming and we are all concerned and distracted and don’t need another tense thing to watch. Or, it could be that no one likes the panthers.

Trump on Jan. 6 riots: "A day of love." Trump on L.A. protests: “IF THEY SPIT, WE WILL HIT, and I promise you they will be hit harder than they have ever been hit before.”

In case you're wondering, authoritarians use this strategy of escalation to manufacture crisis, provoke outrage, then use the reaction to justify repression. It’s not about restoring order, it's about creating a spectacle of chaos they can claim only they can control.

One of my favorite pictures I got while in Colorado last week. Taken at Golden Gate Canyon State Park. Ilford Delta 100 Nikon F2 #believeinfilm

Saw the new mission impossible movie in theaters (Tom thanks us again for going to the theater btw) what really enhanced my experience was a grandma behind me shouting “that’s not possible!” Or “oh come on!” When there was a stunt or perfect timing movie magic. Ma’am, it’s called mission IMPOSSIBLE

Saving this for when we have lockdown 2.0

Don’t tell me you are committed to the bit unless you secretly get your pilots license and type certification in a 737, lease a full 737, to fly paid actors as an actor yourself just to have an awkward conversation with another pilot and land at the same airport you took off from and make HBO pay

Imagine getting on your plane and this is your captain

Oh my god Nathan fielder

What the FUCK are we doing here. I thought MAGA wanted legal immigration? Or only when it’s the rich white South Africans they invite? America is a threat to anyone and everyone who doesn’t pay up and kiss the ring.

Recent shenanigans at school post-AP exams #ilfordhp5 #believeinfilm

Reason 1,583,289 there’s a teach shortage: after teaching for 4 years I have to get my prof. license and take classes on ed. (Despite being rated highly effective for 4 yrs) I thought this was pointless for me until I saw someone in my ed psych class (required for license) has a BS and MS in psych

I fear we lost the plot in AP Seminar after the AP exam. The girls demanded to do his make up.

AP chemistry exam day and one of my star students got in a fender bender on the way to school and don’t know if he will make it to the exam 🙃 (he’s okay tho)

I got to 14 minutes into the new “Rehearsal” and didn’t stop laughing for the rest of the episode. What the actual FUCK is this. Nathan Fielder is in a class of himself.

I don’t know man, what could it possibly be?

I’ll never understand how people in this country thought electing this man would be good for America. The only conclusion is they thought it would be good for themselves, not the country.

If they get rid of the middle class by pushing them closer to poverty with low skill jobs it only makes the bosses richer. As a country we evolved out of it for a reason.

The Rehearsal is the best thing I’ve ever watched on TV. Season two is so insane in every way. Nathan Fielder is a genius.

I missed Nathan Fielder

What the actual fuck

I have absolutely no respect for anyone who supports Trump and his goons. The government is getting to be a dangerous weapon against its own citizens.

It always boggles my mind that I, a journalist, am expressly forbidden from trading stocks, but members of Congress, with vastly greater knowledge of market-moving news, are allowed to profit by front-running markets, and so may profit by in essence stealing from the public they represent.

So he is just doing market manipulation then. Wonder how many of his buddies profited off of the crash and surge the past week.

The Florida legislature is currently discussing cutting funding for AP classes, which I almost exclusively teach. All this state is concerned about is making a dumber electorate that can’t critically think. I’m going to do whatever I can to rally against this. www.wesh.com/article/flor...
