Do you think that’s the norm, or the exception?

Most homeschoolers I know can barely read, can’t do simple algebra, and practice voodoo homeschool medicine. Historically, homeschooling has been done, at least in my area, by fundamentalist weirdos. That may change, as schools veer from science to MaHa Christian nonsense.

Seriously. 99% garbage. Waiting with bated breath for masterpiece’s Count of Monte Cristo.

Precisely why we do not need those institutions any longer. Who reads WaPo anymore anyway? The days of them being the “4th estate” is over. Cancel, leave, delete.

What about those of us who reverently admire crack sucking leggings? What about our feelings? Repressed, fearful, human sacrifice cult members ruin everything.

Why do 4 years olds get to have all of the fun?

100% indicators of someone who does not read.

Two telltale signs to identify a person who reads - correct use of idioms, and the occasional mispronunciation of a word not commonly heard, but often seen in print.

“Man of faith” = soulless liar, almost every time.

A tale as old as time…

Yup. I’m not here for it

Brilliant

This is JD Vance we’re talking about. We knew this was going to be a shitshow the second he was announced.

Nailed it

Or anyone who has read a history book, for that matter.

Sandy eggo.

Look who we could have had for VP. I weep for the US.

They work fast too, one fail semester.

Sea Tac!

That’s… pretty much what they do. People just (although extremely rarely) come up with new ways to do it.

Just had breakfast at Dennys. I swear to God America if you fuck this up I’ll never forgive you. Keep Dennys Alive!

Even the Atlantic huh? God.

It’s just that by its very nature, learning is “woke” (god I hate that word), and conservatism is the opposite of woke “look away children before you learn something”…

A guy who flies airplanes and had read Shōgun. Nice!

That’s exactly what thru do

As a career pilot myself, you needn’t worry too much. Every move is choreographed in the cockpit, the rules of speaking up are clear. I would actually be more concerned if the pilots were yammering away in public instead of doing what he is probably doing, checking weather, and taking a break.

I would want to watch the Jeffersons. But being as how I’m 7 years old in 76, were probably watching monte hall, unless I’m at grandmas in which case its Lawrence Welk.

The Information Age became the disinformation age, women’s rights and racial relations are being set back decades. It’s a goddamn tragedy.

I am of a generation that witnessed the end of polio, the end of smallpox, of measles and chickenpox not being a part of every childhood (my sister nearly died from chickenpox complications, and has had lifelong challenges because of it). It’s all going away, all that progress. We had it so good
