He Was Fascinated by the School Nazi. He Ended Up Dead.

Years later, I’m still gutted by the murder of my former student Blaze Bernstein β€” so I feel ambivalent about Lichtblau’s book. But JFC this headline. Victim blaming & borderline libelous.

Student: I can’t believe you’ve been teaching that long. You seem so youthful!
Me: (Laughing) How old do you think I am?
Student: I was gonna guess in your 40s?

A+ trolling by the New Republic, who continue to use this photo of Yam Tits for all Yam Tits-related news. New Republic, I salute you.

That’s done solid advice there! My father had breast cancer - and a radical mastectomy- back in the early 80s. Unfortunately, the cancer had spread and eventually killed him. So don’t dismiss this, my dudes.

I am so sorry! I also have RA - and I dread what would happen if we were to lose our insurance.
