I gave up Disney and Hulu before it was cool. Now I am an NPR+ and PBS Passport member!

I started teaching during the 1998-1999 school year. April of 1999 was the Columbine massacre. I have spent more hours in professional development on the topic of school safety than on any other topic in my entire career. Nothing is working. In 27 years, there is only one strategy we haven’t tried…

I’m not going to be in church on Sunday. During the school shooting in Minneapolis, my colleagues and I were in a scheduled school safety meeting where we learned how we can initiate a school safety alert through an app on our phone. I am tired of hearing empty thoughts and prayers.

I am spiritually and emotionally exhausted. I can’t comprehend the silence of so many who are betraying principle for power in a way that will destroy their legacy. It makes me examine my own heart. How can we stand against hatred without allowing our integrity to become a casualty?

The Washington Post is no longer posting Chess ratings or Pokémon Battle standings on their sports page, a decision welcomed by the NFL trying to limit the loss of fans to intellectual, brain-based competitive games.

Not everyone from Wisconsin is like this. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

The same Supreme Court and Republican legislators who are supporting Trump’s executive orders that benefit the rich, also blocked Joe Biden’s executive order to forgive student loans.

Ryan Walters is a creep.

With the Hulkster gone, I think it is safe to say we can release the Epstein files without implicating any living person influential in the MAGA culture.

I’ve been on the phone with MOHELA so long that my kids grew up and Hulk Hogan died. They are going to lift the forbearance that I didn’t ask for in 60 days. They acknowledge that it will extent my PSLF plan, but it is really the government’s fault. They told me to tell you “hi.”

I pay $16.99 for Hulu, Disney+, and Max with ads. I don’t watch that much. That money should probably go to NPR. If you see me rocking a tote bag…

One day. That’s the slap in the face the DOJ is calling “accountability” in Breonna Taylor’s case. Now they want to act like civil rights charges were too much? Please be for real. If you’re wondering how little they value Black lives—look no further.

Not so hot take: Google bought #fitbit to take out a competitor in the smart device market. They are pushing their Pixel products and ending the Versa and smart watch designs.

I’m driving to visit my mom in KC. Heading south through Iowa on I-35, we were cut off by a large white construction pick up with MO plates & the name “Herzog” on it. When we passed, the driver gave an arrogant smile. It was odd until I googled Herzog & their impact on MO, then it made sense. Wild…

Yes. We need super men and women. In congress, in the judiciary, in the press, in schools… kind, humble heroes. Hope pushing against fear.

Great news! The Wisconsin Supreme Court finally struck down an 1849 law that stripped women's rights through a near-total abortion ban. This move protects women's access to medical care and their right to control what happens to their own bodies.

Maybe if you think Hiroshima and Nagasaki are our finest moments, you shouldn’t be in charge of the deadliest arsenal in the world.

I just watched Surviving Ohio State. As a former coach and current teacher, I find it disgusting. Ohio State needs to be fined and sanctioned. Russ Hellickson and Jim Jordan are cowards.

‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire ... For I was hungry and you cut SNAP benefits, I was a stranger and you deported me, I was sick and you defunded Medicaid.’ -Jesus

Saw this walking around Chicago. Had to check out this book by @mrdavehill.bsky.social since my mom keeps talking about how I should support his art.

This year, for Teacher Appreciation Week, the best way to show your gratitude to educators is by showing up and speaking out. Learn how you can turn your appreciation into action for educators this week and every week at NEA.org/TAW. #ThankATeacher

If you need permission to feel, try this on.

Cool to see my senator @baldwin.senate.gov as a New York Times crossword puzzle clue today!

Life imitates art? #maythefourthbewithyou #starwars

Saturday night can be anxious. If Sundays are hard for you, you are not alone. If you expected love or justice or acceptance, and got something different, I am sorry. That is not hope. Hope is still out there. Until you find it, be kind to yourself.

Sovereignty beats Journalism… sounds like ominous foreshadowing. #KentuckyDerby

Oh wow. Note: This response (below, which is real) to Trump’s tweet depicting himself as pope is from the New York State Catholic Bishops, who represent the collective bishops of the state. Among them is Cardinal Dolan of NYC, who Trump appointed to his new religious liberty commission this week.

Everyone should be watching #Andor right now. #TheEmpireCannotWin

The essence of U.S. Christianity is that there is a direct proportion between how much someone loudly proclaims that they are a Christian and how much they despise the actual stuff that Jesus enjoined people to do.

I stand with Hannah Dugan.

MAGA Christians are why people are leaving Christianity in droves. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/the-exodus...

People still choose Barabbas.

It is the 100th anniversary of The Great Gatsby. We are currently living in the timeline where Tom Buchanan has become president. May Doctor T. J. Eckleburg have mercy on our souls. #Gatsby

Members of Congress should never be allowed to trade stocks. Period.

The idea that this was ever considered a diss track is wild.

Am I the only one who thought this whole thing was a publicity stunt to promote another Jurassic Park movie?

Hear me out: Coal Powered Cybertrucks. The slogan? Beautiful, clean, and almost indescribable. The car of the future becomes the car of the past…

Is this one of those You Version graphics?

I used to watch PBS late at night hoping to catch episodes of Monty Python’s Flying Circus. Often I would end up seeing Rick Steves travel shows. My 15 year old self thought he was kinda geeky, yet I’d end up watching 30-40 minutes… If you aren’t following @ricksteves.bsky.social today, do it!! #pbs

It’s the end of the world as we know it - I do not feel fine.

We are on the boat. The boat represents our country. The water is our current political/economic situation. So… who’s a good dog? I mean, metaphorically…
