Middle school gym teachers will literally berate 12-year-old children for not having fast enough mile times instead of going to therapy

(Fwiw the most popular unit in my gym class among the students was when we did a kickboxing video with a smiling instructor)

Really interesting idea - I’m going to try it! Was also considering trying the Brick but this seems easier

^It has to be something about this and also it closing to an “nt” - I remember in church as a kid the word “anoint” in the readings would make my skin crawl (still does!)

This could be set to “Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire”

Thanks for this! Sharing with my fellow furloughed people

It is truly wild what people put out there

Excited to listen. Years ago I had an abstract idea of making an account called “What do U mean by ‘we?’“ that just screenshotted every sloppy / ambiguous use of ‘we’ by major columnists like Brooks etc

Actually think a lot of “debates” should force the speaker to always define this

Did I get very bored during the pandemic and make a fake horror movie poster based on this premise? Yes I did

@petridishes.bsky.social plz consider it for your next list www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Spiced salt around the glass as a finish

Have worked a lot with parsing urls for webscraping etc but somehow had not explicitly used this trick before when sending someone a link!

This would be great to include as it’s such a real issue rn - I was studying shingles epi as part of my dissertation while simultaneously *several* of my 30-something grad school peers got it! (it can be stress-induced…sigh)
