Gonna whack them on the nose with a rolled up newspaper.

The local coffee shop has an "autumn sunrise" special today. It is August 4th.

Well you probably want to communicate where *your* people are even in a "bomb everything" plan so you're not bombing your own troops.

The field manuals are generally about 5th grade level but the regulations are written much more confusingly, in my experience.

It's an actual problem. If nothing else, you need to be able to transmit intelligence, surveillance, mission reports, etc. Hard to do that accurately when people can't read or write. Your military becomes much less lethal if they can't tell each other where the damn enemy is.

Tuition assistance is available to all soldiers but it's generally up to the individual to take the initiative to take college courses. A lot of the NCOPDS courses had been revamped to focus more on writing but with the announced cuts to NCOPDS programs I think that's going to go away.

I think to be an effective NCO you should probably at least be able to attain an associates degree. The degree itself isn't really going to make you a more capable leader, but having the skills to achieve one are skills that will serve you.

They don't need scholars or anything. But they do need people who can string a few coherent paragraphs together and people who can accurately parse the language in Army regulations.

I feel like sometimes people don't believe me when I tell them that a genuine problem the US Army faces is that they need noncommissioned officers who can read and write fairly well and are having trouble finding them amongst an enlisted population with mostly no education beyond high school.

[Acedera] Marcus Jordan reveals what happened after Michael Jordan and his 14-year-old daughter fell off a jet ski in the middle of the ocean: "Who do you think my dad went for first? My dad literally went for the 40 grand first. My dad said, 'She got on a life vest, but I gotta go grab this cash."
Michael Jordan is the highest-paid athlete of all time, earning a staggering $3.3 billion throughout his career, adjusted for inflation and mostly from off-court sources. But despite having a massive bank account, MJ once tried to save $40,000 cash instead of his daughter after their jet ski overturned in deep waters.

Well, at least that's according to his son Marcus, who detailed the entire incident during the Spilling Family Secrets episode of the Separation Anxiety podcast, which the younger Jordan co-hosts with girlfriend Larsa Pippen.

MJ first went for the cash

This two year old recap of a podcast episode is wild for so many reasons but also this is how I learn that Michael Jordan's second oldest child was dating Scottie Pippen's ex-wife for a while?

They're either inviting you over for a night of desserts, glasses of milk, and board games or they're founding a post-apocalyptic murder cult. The cult may also have dessert and board game nights between the murders.

Mormons are either the most vanilla people you can possibly imagine or the craziest motherfuckers on the planet, there is zero in-between.

I have..... thoughts..... on Lambert's fourth wall break that I dont feel fully prepared to articulate here. Mostly I feel like he doesnt trust the show to communicate the themes on its own, and I dont like that. But like I said, I dont feel fully prepared to go into it in depth right now.

I think Cabaret fans are too overly attached to the Alan Cumming portrayal. It was definitely a revolutionary take at the time but it's far from being the only way to interpret the role.

It's definitely a different take on the MC character but not a wholly bad one.

My Billy Porter in Cabaret hot take (grasped only from illicit bootleg clips) is that I don't like the fourth wall break in "If You Could See Her Through My Eyes" but overall I think the drag race energy for songs like Wilkommen actually works pretty well.

I am very much not in the industry but my cousin is in the nuclear industry and he was horrified that Indian Point was up and running as long as it was, he said modern safety standards would never allow a nuclear plant to be built there.

Basically what I'm saying is that energy policy sounds hard.

I both want my faves to have happy, strife-free existences and understand that this would make for a very boring story with no conflict or growth.

There's something so grim about the idea of inserting a prompt and having AI generate the exact film or story you want to watch or read.

The most profound, meaningful experiences I've had with art are when the story went in a way I wouldn't have wanted it to go. Real art challenges you.

Tbh we were overdue for an Andrew Lloyd Webber revival of popularity because if there's one artist who was going to appeal to "the curtains were just blue" generation it's the "Hal, it's about cats" guy.

If you didnt want us to think Hanukkah was important you should have told Adam Sandler not to write that song for SNL.

I remain absolutely serious about this. To a ten year old, The Cheesecake Factory is the pinnacle of the fine dining experience. And shout out to the waiter we had who decorated my twins' cheesecake slices when he found out the trip was part of a birthday gift for them.

I'm a huge Taylor Swift fan but "Some Nights" is still my favorite thing that Jack Antonoff has ever been involved in.
