The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

Not sure why The Fall Guy wasn’t a hit. It’s a big slice of cake. Maybe they should’ve called it something else.

I resent having to have so much anger in my heart all the time. Because it’s not my default. I’m a happy person by default.

Anyone who lives in any of the country's tornado alleys (Texas, Midwest, Southeast) know exactly how invaluable NOAA weather radio is during tornado season. Life saving.
Please talk about what the NWS does in your day to day conversations. The folks you speak with may have no clue how essential NOAA is to the success of huge swaths of both the private and the public sectors. And you won't know what they don't know until you bring it up.

And she won't use a dime of that $250 to pay herself back for everything she's already used her own money to pay for--things that should be paid for by the school. She'll use it for the classroom.
Every time I read the local news and see a teacher who was awarded a $250 grant for her classroom, I understand that she spent hours of her own time applying for it. Writing it. Going through a submission process.
For $250. For her classroom…
