I say this as someone with a masters in education who has taught in college, and had a father who was a college professor: most people who teach at colleges have zero expertise in education. It’s the opposite elementary and secondary, where people are experts in education & not their subject matter.

The CDC just re-opened a previously shelved study that would withhold the hepatitis B vaccine from children in Guinea-Bissau, despite decades of evidence showing it is safe and effective. This is a violation of human rights, using “science” to harm some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

People forget that J6 was successful. Everyone who participated was let out of jail and the guy who perpetrated it is President again. There were no consequences. They have plenty of incentive to do a much bigger and worse version.

Whether they like it or not, this is what ESPN has become. Stephen A. Smith gets a $40 million salary and the biggest platform possible to shout this crap on a daily basis across multiple shows.

Again, much of Pete Hegseth’s deal is the only skill his job demanded for a long time was keeping a trim figure to be conventionally pretty for stay-at-home moms watching daytime tv. His job was “be pretty,” but he knows that’s a girl job, so he’s deeply insecure and is trying to make it a boy job.

The GOP is an opposition party even when it's in power, the idea that they are the perpetual underdog is central to their internal mythology and can't be disturbed by facts or the results of elections. It's also why they're bad at, you know, governing.

The alt-right industrial outrage complex is absolutely livid over that Sarah Huckabee Sanders ad that shows a white gamer guy on welfare. They are in the comments demanding Republicans run ads about "black welfare queens" named "Shaniqua" who are driving BMWs and taking cruises.

Since 1972, Wade Boggs had 8 seasons of more than 40 doubles. Craig Biggio, Robinson Cano and Albert Pujols each had 7. Miggy and Bobby Abreu each had 6. David Ortiz and Freddie Freeman each had 5. Robin Yount, Luis Gonzalez Jeff Kent, and Raffy each had 4.

Pennsylvania has more than 500 school districts. I believe that’s a drop from more than 2,000 in the 1940s. Just wild numbers.

An edcuation policy soloution that would get you killed by angry parents but also fix like 60% of problems after a couple of generations is children being randomly assigned a public school within ten miles of their house. That is the school you attend and you cannot transfer.

Two of the three candidates he criticizes have won election in purple states. This guy - despite not understanding anything that has happened in politics in the last 37 years - will be on MSNBC, in the Atlantic, and on HBO for the next 30 years.

Actually, the Democratic mayor of NYC meeting with the Republican President of the United States is *not* remotely comparable to the Democratic House Minority Leader meeting with the unelected, unappointed, unofficial grifting son-in-law of the president.

Jonathan Bowlan has warmed up every fucking night (just like Mayza and McFarlane), and has been gassed for weeks now. He was a walking injury waiting to happen due to fatigue, and it is the risk when your manager dry humps his pen every game.

I teach middle school, high school and college. Most of these kids are better and more considerate than kids were in the 80s and 90s. The others stand out. It’s a legitimate concern. Entitlement, lack of empathy and no inquisitiveness combined with laziness and grievance.

I say this as an adjunct son of an assoc. professor. (And I have a full time teaching gig.): By far, most El/Mid/HS teachers are experts in teaching, not in their subject matter. Many college profs have been experts in subject matter & teaching. But too many today don’t understand how to teach.
