I’m a middle school teacher. Planning does matter. You can make incremental changes that affect the odds in your favor. But if a shooter enters my building, I am going to die and there’s nothing I can do about it. All I’m doing is influencing how many people are dying with me. I hate thinking this.

There isn't a single problem "solved" by edtech that couldn't be fixed with smaller classes led by well-paid teachers given real academic freedom

I’m 54 years old and my post-work nap is my favorite thing. I don’t even want to hike any more. I just want my nap.

Today my sister uncovered a story of my great-grandfather’s brother working on a railroad and getting blown 25 feet through the air by dynamite. He died from the wounds, but my dad never told this and countless other stories. His family’s past died with him.

It's that giving time of year again, so this is a reminder that no matter how they try to dress it up, the Salvation Army is not a charity.

#Billionaires plotted to overthrow FDR in 1933 and we were intentionally never taught about it. Have you heard of this before? The "Business Plot". The media of the time called it a hoax. Gov buried the report. I was able to find documentation. #History we ignore gets repeated. Ever heard of this? 👇

CNN Finds Israel Killed Palestinian Aid Seekers and Bulldozed Bodies into Shallow, Unmarked Graves

This is a legitimate scientific revolution in meteorology. Also, to be clear, these models are not the AI LLMs that most people are familiar with. They are machine learning algorithms trained on observations (actually reanalysis).

Post your favorite "Lord of the Rings" character. Wrong answers only.

The guy shot two random people with a gun, I don't think you can say he wasn't assimilating into our culture

I love this table, and I think we should go a step further and talk about a player’s annual luxury tax hit as a % of team revenue. Always gram everything in terms of how much these teams are making. Imperfect, but easy to grasp, and moves the conversation in the right direction.

Pediatricians say vaccines do not cause autism. A bear-eating heroin addict who fantasizes about sucking his own semen out of his lovers' orifices says they do. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

If they had killed a donkey we’d all be eating ass!

I am home with a cold and won’t be going anywhere for Thanksgiving. There is a very large part of me that is happy about that and would like to begin a full-on hermit phase. Normally that’s the depression talking, but everybody needs to dodge in the in-laws from time to time

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who’s coming to save you?

The best part about Baldur’s Gate 3 is after a fight the grease puddle from the Grease spell is still there, so you can walk your party through it and they do this hilarious animation and slip and fall again and again and again. It’s never not funny

Ours is not to wonder what Ours is but to chicken butt

Sometimes when I fart my butt sounds likeTreebeard talking

Kyle Schwarber’s nickname should be Marge because he likes to bang Homers

Some grim shit just happened in BG3. I laid waste to all the goblins, but at one point goblin kids attacked me. I used nonlethal to knock one out and the others ran away. Came back and this little dude is now all alone in the world…

this year we saw a guy with 55 home runs strike out a guy with 56 home runs

I just listened to TMBG’s album “Join Us” beginning to end and that album is filled with weird delights and bangers. It’s even better heard one after the other as the John’s intended.

If you're working on something boring for your job really late... for example after 10pm on a Wednesday... I recommend listening to the new Los Striatjackets album while you do it. I also recommend listening to the new Los Striatjackets album at almost any other time because Los Straitjackets rules.

Every single kid who was raped on Epstein’s island should get to vote on whether anyone who visited has the right to continue breathing

Am I reading this USA Today article wrong? Did the author write it with an LLM? Am I losing my mind?

In the body wash section if the grocery store I learned that women want to smell like France and men want to smell like trees

I've been getting back into the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series after many years, and the most relatable part is how everyday objects like doors and elevators have been imbued with artificial intelligence and it just makes them obnoxious and frustrating to use and everyone hates it.

Amazed that after Wrobleski hits Jimenez, Springer retaliated by hitting Wrobleski with a batted ball

Interviewing the manager during the game is like expecting to be able to walk up to the director of a play and have a conversation with them whenever you feel like it

I think it would be great if they never ever interview players or managers while the baseball game is being played

This year Max Muncy both made the playoffs and didn't make the playoffs.

You shouldn’t have to work if there’s a bird outside you want to watch

Are the Bulls good? They’ve never given us this flavor of false hope before and I don’t know if I should enjoy it or despair

How the fuck do you read LOTR and come out with “This is a cautionary tale about the dangers of illegal immigrants”

If I never see a slo-mo shot of an athlete shouting it will be too soon

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP. Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP. The people who need help are not the problem. It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.
