Have you noticed how they always repeat the same sentence many times? It’s their form of prayer.

Have you people ever played Nintendo Switch Sports? It’s so cool. I probably won’t be able to lift my already compromised arm tomorrow but it’s the best fun ever. Except for tennis. What a useless game.

I’m urgently rethinking my class plans until the end of the week to exclude me having to write on the board.

A black guy pulled a knife on Gary.

Gary stomped him out in return.

Be like Gary.

Gary is great but Gary needs to find himself a new girlfriend. Or stop going out with his senile mommy, if that’s who she is.

This is the model of femininity that I find it impossible to comprehend.

I’m sitting in a meeting where we’ve done a variation of the following dialogue for a little over an hour.

“Content reviews are necessary because they are required by the CBA.”

“How necessary are content reviews, though?”

“They are necessary because they are required by the CBA.”

A long explanation of what exactly the CBA requires.

“If nobody has any more questions…”

“I’m sorry, I just need a clarification on content reviews. Are they completely necessary?”

“Yes, they are necessary because they are required by the CBA.”

An even longer explanation of what exactly the CBA requires.

“If nobody has any more questions…”

“I’m sorry, just a little clarification on content reviews…”

We were supposed to be done with the discussion on content reviews 45 minutes ago.

Every person present in the room has sat through at least half a dozen of identical conversations on content reviews.

Yes, Board of Peace is extremely cringe. So is the whiny letter about the Nobel. Mega cringe and stupid.

But it’s still between this and men in women’s jails, fake daycares, infinity migrants, and decriminalization of “victimless rape.”

It’s great that very young women work in the service industry. I’ve had several opportunities to observe how very young store assistants, receptionists and body artists can make a small kid medium-sized child feel comfortable and accepted into the community of grown women. We’ve been trying to buy Klara a pair of sneakers, and it was torture until we came across a store assistant in her late teens who was so sweet, respectful and kind that we finally left with a purchase. It was the same when Kara wanted to get her ears pierced.

There are 40 years separating me from my kid, and it really helps to have a young woman who is closer to remembering what it was like to be a pre-teen than I possibly could.

I’m sure it’s the same for medium-sized boys who’ll respond to a teenage dude like they’ll never respond to an adult.

“I’m not a little kid, Mommy,” says Kiara severely. “I’m almost ten. Don’t call me a little kid.”

“OK, not a little kid,” I say. “A big kid. You are a big kid.”

“I’m not a big kid!” she says. “I’m only almost ten.”

“What are you, then?” I ask.

“I’m a medium-sized child,” explains Klara.

🌍Russia proposes a concrete approach to reparations for #Africa.

Russian experts suggest calculating reparations mathematically, enabling African countries to seek compensation from former colonial powers through legal mechanisms.https://t.co/5URVHSecNJ pic.twitter.com/PznVFOIkN0

The Soviet placard in the background is a visual reminder that if anybody won the Cold War, it wasn’t the people who speak English.

Democrats in Virginia were in power in VA for a little over a day when they introduced a bill barring white men from being considered for discretionary government contracts under $100K unless there’s no competition.

Another bill they introduced bars… counting electoral votes by hand.

There’s a lot more in the same vein.

This was lightning fast:

Democrats in Virginia have introduced a bill to eliminate mandatory minimum sentencing for rape, manslaughter, assaulting a law enforcement officer, possession and distribution of child pornography, and all repeat violent felonies. pic.twitter.com/aJ4rgefbAs

I hate the philosophy behind the measure, of course, but I can’t fail to admire the deadly (in a very literal sense) effectiveness. As we keep fumbling, they are getting ready to unleash every pedo rapist and violent felon on us.
