Just forwarded this to my brother. Was telling him how much I respected Philip's work at The Post, and autocorrect changed "columnist" to "communist." 😎 Anyway, you should sign up!

The Nobel *Peace* Prize winner is cool with murdering civilians on boats

Look, I loved Obama, but when they gave him the prize basically for making a good speech, I realized it was a bullshit prize.

Holy shit. She should NOT get the prize. Anyone who sucks up to him is condoning fascism.

On the #goodnews front: in a couple recent interviews, Amanda Shires said The Highwomen are going to start writing new songs this winter!

Bullshit.

This is fascism. This is a police state. Masked men with guns in unmarked cars are driving through residential neighborhoods during the daytime looking to kidnap women and children.

Resist this. Never normalize this or else these fascists thugs will some day be used against you and your family.

My boss: so how's our fourth quarter looking?

Me, the sales manager at the company that makes inflatable frog suits: well, you're never going to believe this, but

Printing presses kept their letters in cases.

Capital letters went in the upper case.

Oops! I just remembered there's one Baskin-Robbins in my city, right by the University, across from the hospital... and I drive past it every Monday. 🥴🤦🏼‍♀️

Baskin-Robbins is still in business? I haven't seen one for years!

So the National Guard is in Memphis to...shop?

Billionaires are broken.
Having that much money fucks with your whole concept of reality. I suggest what I'm going to call the Jane Goodall plan* from now on: send them into space in a Musk rocket.

Portland shows us the way. Thanks, Portland.

Just watched the trailer for the new season of The Diplomat. Allison Janney as president, and Bradley Whitford as, in his words, "first lady." Man oh man, am I looking forward to this! I hope the world holds together long enough for me to get my ounce of joy from smart and darkly funny TV.

Graduated in 1979. One. (To Kill a Mockingbird)

As a high school teacher, I retired in 2017. At that point, I'd estimate our high school students read about 10 (if they read what was assigned 😎). Not sure about k-8.
