This is wrong and the product of deliberate choices to further disenfranchise low income families. 85 closures between March and August means more parents making impossible decisions. www.postandcourier.com/education-la...

She is a good, kind, and normal woman who loves her team and is sad. Get off her case, ESPN.

A national reporter (other than them.us) should dig into what's happening with the arts commissioners here in SC banning arts projects that "promote ideology" in order to ban LGBTQ orgs and works. Based on the EO that is already working its way through the courts. (Yes, the ACLU here is on it).

Kalshi running margin trading on prediction markets means that’ll run on Robinhood and Coinbase and whatever else. RH and CB want to be full service shops, holding your Roths and whatever else—allowing margin on predictions will destroy people quicker and with zero off-ramps. Absolutely criminal.

Hurts seems like a good man. Isn’t it sad, though, that the schools have to rely on private individuals instead of, you know, a properly funding school system? What Hurts is doing is good, but it’s bullshit he should have to. Also: #gopackgo

Breaking: The Max Rebo Band will no longer be opening for Ed Sheeran
A painting of the Max Rebo Band from Star Wars. Max, a blue elephant guy is at a piano thing, and a manatee guy is playing some space clarinet, and the singer is an anthropomorphic bug (maybe?). Salacious Crum is there too, but he’s not in the band so much as a clinger on. Lando is there too, off to the side.

Gentle reminder that you can be angry about the lack of transparency offered by Mitch McConnell without resorting to ableist slurs. You can question his competency to serve in government without mocking his appearance. Disabled people are fighting to survive and ableist language hurts all of us.

When I eat a bit of graham cracker I always wonder why I don’t eat more of them. I feel like I could eat graham crackers with every meal. Maybe every meal is nothing but graham crackers. Then they just call me GCG for Graham cracker guy and I go on the radio to talk about it.
