A Girl Nearly Died After Drinking Raw Milk. The State Did Little to Punish the Unlicensed Farmer Who Sold It.

California is teeming with black-market dairies, propped up by consumer demand fueled by misinformation. With evidence against one raw goat milk farm, regulators could have sought punitive action. But...

So many, my husband is a British boarding school 'old boy', and the slang has taken over our family. Also very funny that my husband picked up from my late father, okey-dokey. So strange in the English accent. My SIL came and stayed with our almost 3YO while we went on a work trip.

The Whitaker Middle School site in NE has been vacant for 20 years. Could have put a lot of housing at that location. Just dead grass ATM.

IDK, but moving k-8 back to middle schools will involve more staff. There is a huge disparity between what is offered at the 6-8th grade students, depending on if your kid is already in a middle school and k-8 schools. Shameful.

It's eight years ago now so it can be hard to remember, but the sordid role Susan Collins played during the Kavanaugh nomination -- functioning as a sort of PR ambassador for the GOP and a stealth character assassin of Dr. Ford -- was despicable and disqualifying all by itself. #MEpolitics

You'd think it would be straightforward, but PSU is forecasting, and they have a terrible record dating back to at least the late 90s. The local schools are not closing around us, but the feeder schools are.

I have NO faith in data from PSU which the school district has relied on for past huge disruptions. It led to extreme overcrowding in my kids schools, complete with portable classrooms. The value of my house and in my neighborhood will continue to soar, and

one of the ways the media shows which side they prefer, is which politicians they quote uncharitably out-of-context and which they clean up for even when what they actually say and do is offensive (the Biden story ran on the front page less than a week before the 24 election)

What booming economy? Is everyone at FT on hallucinogens? The best time to delete this was before it went up, and the second-best time is right now. Like right this very second. This is *humiliating* for FT—to confuse the AI stock bubble with a whole fucking economy. A whole-of-institution fail.

Again, <only Republicans> ever get to talk like this. If a single municipal level Democrat ever did, it would be a national outrage &spark a wave of “civility” discourse, & op-eds about how Dems must Respect Real Folkz & talk across difference. Democracy is incompatible with this double standard.

Someone like @mattseybold.bsky.social probably knows the answer to this--were there personnel changes that fostered this shift (because it definitely wasn't always this bad) or were the built-in incentives of the publication itself always going to move things in this direction as the vibes shifted?

He is missing the most important, aggravating scene: They never look at the camera! "The beauty of bulbs in the garden", all the while never looking at the camera. I'm sure they don't have a three camera set up, so they just have the person say the same thing three times from different angles. UGH!
