PL94-142 passed shortly after my brother finally got to go to school. I wonder how many hundreds of kids in that bass-ackwards district got at least a chance at something like formal education in the decades since.

My mother fought like a tiger to get my brother enrolled in school in 1973. Hearing what's happening to SPED now makes furious. I can't imagine the sorrow and rage of someone who devoted a life to kids like my brother. Wish I could shake 'em by the collar for you. All I have to offer is "Thank you."

That depends on how you define "last." If you're doing an athletic event like a race or tennis or such, then there's a definitive, numerical "last." Defining your boundaries isn't "last," anyone who doesn't get that doesn't get or care about you, and that old trope about "nice guys" can go hang.

It fits a weird pattern. Hoover had the Teapot Dome scandal and the King of Crackpot Dome IS a scandal. It wouldn't suprise me in the slightest that we hit a few kill switches before the stock market sinks like the Titanic, another bloated, unsinkable and too big to fail epic failure.

Serious question-what's "the tell"? He sounds like he's speaking from inside a costume, not sure if AI can fake that, so if you'd let me know about "the tell" so I know what to look fore that'd be great.

Just read that MIT told the Admin that they can shove their funds and won't be pushing their propoganda.

Those that should have didn't, those that should now won't and those who might in future may have to resort to some damn drastic actions. I'm not alone in not wanting the sins of this guilty land not be purged with blood, to paraphrase John Brown.

Will you ask the Illinois DOJ to fire kidnapping and terrorism charges? The literal definition of terrorism is to "intimidate and coerce a civilian population." (18 USC 113B 2331) and if IL doesn't have a law againsn't kidnapping or call this bullshit kidnapping, you really are FIBs.
