I vaguely recall a time when I could read the news about weather and some guy driving too fast on the highway, then call a friend and bitch about the house band taking too long of a break, then have lunch at a Sonoran Dog cart and talk to the guy about his favorite Idol. Good times.

What if we gave teachers $50k signing bonuses, $100k salaries, and $60k in student loan forgiveness.

Yikes. "Data from the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse recently revealed that, between 1950 and 2010, 60% of all abuse allegedly took place at faith-based institutions. Evidence showed that, in Catholic institutions, 95% of alleged offenders were men." (2017)

Wow — Harvard Crimson student newspaper busts Hegseth for having written a long policy brief touting diversity before he joined Trump’s war on DEI.

With receipts. Bravo, Crimson.
