My daughter's 1st grade class just had to cancel a Friday field trip to go watch URI women's bball bc the Brown shooter is still at large. We luckily have not had to have direct conversations w/her about school shootings yet, despite the safety drills that they do. I think that's about to change

This is the crux and why I'm mostly allergic to the useful idiocy of much of the abundance crew.
The big problem with NEPA reform -- which I'd like to see NEPA reformers grapple with a bit more -- is that if you open the thing up, most of the legislators doing the "reforming" are hostile to it & just want to get rid of env. review entirely. It's not a good-faith process.

Celebrity chefs told Californians that PFAS-coated pans were “safe,” and successfully lobbied Gavin Newsom to veto a bill phasing them out
They didn’t mention they all sell PFAS-coated pans.

Why are famous chefs fighting PFAS bans?
The answer, in retrospect, is obvious—and it’s part of a larger campaign to stop bans on Teflon cookware nationwide.

Genuinely he was the goat for this combo. No offense to the many other good soccer writers, but this cup more than any needed his voice as an American doing exactly this.
We lost so much when we lost Grant. Not only was he the greatest American soccer writer but he had the guts and integrity to call out corruption, sexism, and bigotry regardless of what it cost him personally.
Very few people in sports media (or any media) are like this!

And for #ArtAdventCalendar day 2, some fishing lures 😅 Variations on this design have trended on social media for a while. I used creme polishes for the bases, some with gradients, and topped them all with a sheer holographic magnetic polish. Then I added details using more creme polishes.

Rutgers stocking cap that belonged to my grandfather who I think got it when he worked in personnel there after he left the army. So 60+ years?
What’s the oldest article of clothing you still wear? I just pulled out a 29-year-old puffy coat that is still plenty puffy.

This is a great episode. Hilariously, I was triggered from the start because they play the call of the nemesis bird that @pablo.show was given. Every damn migration I hear that call in my yard but still haven't actually laid eyes on the bastard!
So...
I pledged to report an Epstein episode if we can hit 40,000 YouTube views on one of my favorite PTFO episodes ever — which is about competitive bird-watching — by this Tuesday (Dec. 2).
We're currently up to 37,455 😬 youtu.be/ZxoZKGHcjqA?...

An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.
