I graduated high school in 1990 and they were very much a high school band for me

One of the few things I have in common with my grandpas -- the inappropriate hat wearing bothers me a lot

Note to self: Never encourage or respond to small talk in a situation where I can't leave immediately

I ended up getting half my lunch to go and eating it on the walk home

Counterpoint

Guy at lunch place cornered me for my entire meal with small talk. Used my T-shirt as an excuse to talk about the Oregon Fair and polite uninterested responses didn't discourage

He kept talking even after I started to read my book!

I really just wanted to read my book

Honestly, no, I haven't seen it

Progressive voters in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania or Wisconsin saying they sat out the election *and* are proud of it?

That seems like an imaginary strawman to me, but we all have different feeds I guess

This one is just boggling, because I was a SAH parent and spent infinite hours at these places

My only $0.02 -> take those Growtika numbers with a grain of salt

No one knows the actual traffic to those sites except the sites themselves

This is where my tactic of sleeping in on weekends and letting the cats scratch and meow as much as they want on my door comes to full fruition. Suck it, kitties!

Regardless of your beliefs, imagine this reaction to starting a war where many people will be killed or maimed for life

And the focus should be on Jackson (in my opinion), not the 2024 election

UN calls for investigation into deadly airstrike on girls' school in Iran
YouTube video by CTV News UN calls for investigation into deadly airstrike on girls' school in Iran

"They hit the school in the morning when the school was in session. They killed 165 girls.

"Indiscriminate bombing is a war crime. Targeting a school is a war crime"

I can't stop thinking about that school. I hope justice comes one day

I've been boggled by the news media for decades now, but I don't understand why there isn't wall-to-wall coverage of the school bombing

It seems Abu Ghraib-level to me

I guess Canada news is on it

Are these attacks on schools and water plants considered "war crimes"? If not, what is?
