TY for the thread and giving Jack the credit he deserves.

Me reading commented: umm this person must be a trumper.

This was confirmed when they slammed President Biden's tarriffs.

Me: do they not watch/listen to the news? Do they not have friends/family?

I'm a little worried because a toy robot that 5-7 year olds can program is so much smarter than so many adults. A comment on a suburban Chicagoan next door-by someone who was a trumplican asked if anyone else had noticed grocery prices had skyrocketed the last few weeks.

Why are you apologizing? There's no need to apologize.

Heather, will you or someone else please talk about the advantages of staying in the association vs. withdrawing? Thanks.

Asha, if you haven't done so, you should have Dr. Ken Butigan come speak to your classes. Jen, Norm and Marc Elias would find him interesting to talk to. Ken's been arrested for stirring up good trouble.

There are a heck of a lot of high school and college students who need to take a role-playing class that teaches how 1 country gains its freedom, and watch that movie. Many adults need to watch the movie as well. It was 1 of the most powerful courses I had to take.

Thanks to both of you.

#KidLit Many of you are losing out on money by not having your books in Spanish. The Pete the Cat series would be perfect in Spanish.

Loren Long, your books are needed in Spanish.

Thanks to both of you.

Christian group ‘deceived’ supreme court about LGBTQ+ research, cited scholars say Exclusive: Experts say Alliance Defending Freedom, arguing to revive conversion therapy, ‘profoundly misrepresented’ their work in case threatening trans and queer youth

@turban.bsky.social, you need to write a new piece for the Guardian/BBC/Rolling Stone/Teen Vogue. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Happy birthday!!

Thanks for adding who the judge was appointed by.

Thanks. I wish the judge would send the thiel/miller/musk/orange/vance/johnson to gitmo, but what do I know?

I hope the AG sues.

Allison, who was the judge appointed by? Thanks.

IF you are protesting on the 18th, please collect and donate items for the food pantry or new/gently used clothes, toys, and books. Thanks.

Single person. I'd like to make a small fraction of $230,000 each year. We have a wealthcare system, not a healthcare system.

Block the POS who doesn't understand how hard it is to learn any foreign language, let alone English. English is 1 of the hardest languages ever. Italian was a heck of a lot easier to learn. So was Spanish. Latin? Not so much.

I feel safer with Shawn than I do plastic barbie.

Agreed. Yet it's been like that for over a decade...even in parts of the Chicago area or DC or NYC.

Agree. At the same time, all that you said is true of so many other entertainers who are put on pedestals and told they can do no wrong. Yes, I love certain musicians. Do I idolize them and think they can do no wrong? No.

#EduSky #clearthelists Please help. Thanks. It's been a shitty few months. www.amazon.com/wedding/regi...
