Love to see FBI agents with accounting degrees walking the streets of DC bullying homeless people instead of doing their jobs because a DOGE cybercriminal named "Big Balls" got beat up by a 15 year old.

This was a great episode. Can we all agree that the person who invented the little space of silence between the songs on vinyl records was the MVP of the Peter Criss album?

The book for sure would break the switchboard but I bet your analysis and the texts you discuss (which are likely to be off the beaten HD path) could really add new dimensions to a β€œworld lit” course or a senior class. IMHO one Theban Play is sufficient when there’s so much more out there.

Trying not to sound like a tool, he wrote, β€œPlease don’t delete β€” we all like and admire you and while I’m no doctor I am also a teacher and please remember that students are inspired as much by your humanity as they are your knowledge.” And the book looks great - could even help guide a HS class.

Long have you timidly waded holding a plank by the shore,
Now I will you to be a bold swimmer,
To jump off in the midst of the sea, rise again, nod to me, shout, and laughingly dash with your hair.

Kelly Gallagher’s β€œReadicide” talks about this from an English teacher’s perspective. A must read, IMHO.

Interesting, but I’m going to wait until Tommy Shaw and Rickey Medlocke weigh in before I draw a conclusion.
