I did 7 pds in 5 days and I am now completely and utterly wiped. They all went really well but I simply cannot with people for a couple of days. Overstimulation central here right now!

Lettuce give thanks for his acquittal, For justice has been served (on a bun, not brittle).
The jury sandwiched truth between reason and jest,
And said, ‘No harm, no mayo-hem — he did his best.’

In the court of public opinion he’s guilty of wasting a perfectly good sandwich but I would absolutely love to know how much money was spent trying to prosecute him in the first place.

I need the croissant bread recipe, please! I’m tired of throwing away half of my starter each week with discard but I can’t always keep up with good recipes!

Say what you want about Biden’s mental state… they didn’t have to label rooms to make sure he knew where he was.

We have complicated EdTech to the point where I, an incredibly tech savvy human, can’t even connect to a projector anymore when I’m in a school district without calling half the IT department down to the room in presenting in.

Quiet? Seemed really fucking loud to me… 🤔

Five takeaways as Democrats sweep elections in New Jersey and Virginia — The Washington Post The party won the governor’s race in both states and a state attorney general’s contest that was up in the air, as voters delivered a rebuke of President Donald Trump.

And this, my friends, is a little thing I like to call “a mandate” apple.news/AZlmiDwnyTLi...

Quick! It’s time to buy stock in a ketchup company. The walls at Mara Lago must look like they’re auditioning for a Carrie Remake.

2025 elections are a bloodbath for Trumpism so far. I needed this reminder that sanity still exists.

Sour McLachlan batch 022. Really finding my own with this new starter. I still miss the Yeastie Boys but I had to retire back in 2020 when pandemic flour supplies ran out. This was fed a mix of whole wheat and bread flours so I’m expecting some extra sharpness from this when I cut into it.

Dear Zoom. I’m a power user who has been in your camp nearly a decade but I’ve run 12 zooms in the last 10 weeks and the interface has changed at least 8 times since August. Maybe tone it down a bit? Kthnxbyee

George Clooney says replacing Joe Biden with Kamala Harris ‘was a mistake’ — Guardian US Actor says Harris ‘was given a very tough task’ because ‘she had to run against her own record’, and extends an olive branch to Hunter Biden

On the list of people I look to for advice, George Clooney is just above the gum underneath the seats in my old classroom, and hepatitis B. apple.news/Al39bFBpbR8a...

Elon Musk Wants to Block Out the Sun The CEO of the largest satellite company in the world just proposed a bold—and totally misguided—solution to the climate crisis.

Another way to solve the climate crisis might be to actually do the reasonable things we’ve wanted to implement for decades but sure. This? 🤦🏻‍♂️ gizmodo.com/elon-musk-wa...

Happy Halloween

40 million people losing SNAP benefits tomorrow but it’s fine because dear leader can shit in marble decadence now.

If I hear one more politician talking about how great and successful this program is…I swear to the heavens, it is not. Hoping some of our state board of ed folks or legislators will solicit some feedback from further out in the field than the Lansing area because I have notes. So. Many. Notes.

I haven’t lost one yet but last year alone I channeled 22 entire days - ENTIRE DAYS - to one teacher who, by the end of said year, could finally control her classroom a little. This year we are finally moving to the “year 1 mentoring map” as part of my 4 year coaching cycle for new teachers.

Of the TOT teachers I’ve been paired with only one seemed emotionally and mentally prepared for the task of teaching kids. All have proved coachable but what about the ISD’s that don’t have a Dave Johnson to undo what these programs are sending teaching candidates out to do?

I want everyone to know as the guy who has to show these people what to actually do when they get a classroom, that this program is taking a lot of taxpayer money and putting warm, unprepared bodies in classrooms and everyone keeps talking about how great it is. www.teachersoftomorrow.org/michigan/

A real shame twin the youngest didn’t keep at the piano or I might have finally lived the dream of singing Fever and killing my children from the embarrassment of me on my back atop the piano.

In another life I am Brian VanderArk from the Verve Pipe. Unfortunately this is not another life and I am not Brian VanderArk but damn does he write songs.

I’ve loved this song for nearly 25 years so having twin the eldest ask if we could do it in the talent show together with her playing and me singing was like legit treat of the century. Colorful - Dave and Twin the Eldest
