You’ll be hearing from my lawyer. Not to threaten litigation or anything. Just, you know, to commiserate with you about my behavior.

My personal BlueSky etiquette:
1. If I make up a fake social media post, it will be in dark mode.
2. If I make up a fake pleading, it won't be in dark mode because that would look silly. Look for context clues.
3. I will quote skeet Mitch, he's a big boy. He can handle it.

Some BlueSky etiquette that I do my best to follow:
1. When possible, I link to articles and primary sources;
2. When possible, I link to materials that do not have a paywall;
3. When possible, I react to insulting inflammatory responses by blocking; and
4. I reply rather than quote posting.

Lots of new followers coming in so I am going to re-up this.
I am not a reliable source of information. I will link to the pleading if it is real.
I am barely a reliable source of entertainment.

I like to think of George Washington like with giant eagle's wings, and singin' lead vocals for Lynyrd Skynyrd with a Continental Regulars band and I'm in the front row and I'm hammered drunk!
I love that they've got him wearing a t-shirt like he's a tech-bro founder, when one of the single best established things about George Washington was that he was fussy about propriety and proper appearances. He'd have worn a suit.

I like to picture George Washington in a tuxedo T-shirt. 'Cause it says like, “I wanna be formal but I'm here to party too.” I like to party, so I like my George Washington to party.

I don’t know anything about Sabrina Carpenter other than a friend of a friend went to one of her concerts wearing a towel cinched around his chest and apparently did not give any consideration to the fact that security might have a problem with this costume.
Does the White House think this is going to win them support with Gen Z?

Ok, so who wants a deep dive on curricular speech and the First Amendment?
This is a topic where it is difficult to speak in generalities. Logically, it is impossible for a teacher not to evaluate the content of a student's assignment as part of grading /1

Welp, I started the first Thanksgiving table fight.
I sang 867-5309, but I said “6-7” the way kids say “6-7”, so my wife threw a roll at me.
