Here's such an attack on education:

Alright I'll buy that!

It's not like Ms. Johnson is... oh I don't know, under 18?!?

Reducing idiocy is the trick. You can merely look at the last N years of history (multiple values of N work) to see the attacks on education (at all levels) that have fertilized the soil of ignorance.

That the plastic surgeon makes almost an order of magnitude more than the cardiac surgeon...

And in 2000 (side-eyes Ralph Nader...)

IMHO yes, otherwise it weakens bosses' arguments about "costs us productivity."

Also, one downside is that bosses may force "work one hour later" even if the answer is "payroll doesn't count it."

The switch-cost of spring-forward is more *visible* under this plan, and visibility scares cheaters.

We’re in full blown family annihilator territory now, huh?

I still think there's an opportunity to Just Do It Better here. From a HS friend who told me about it 40-ish years ago:

People of color can be dolts as well.

This post is one of the many reasons I haven't written part 2 of my piece on Graham Platner. People are more interested in clinging to their beliefs than listening to someone who isn't a traditional journalist who isn't white but lives in Maine. I'm so tired of people outside of Maine.

KC Airport evacuated potential threat. FBI on scene.

You will not convince me that this is not a plan to terrorize Americans.

The regime wants terrorism on US soil to cancel the election.

Dammmnnnnn. Both the framing of “therapy” and the unease around children being exposed to gay characters is messed up.

LGBTQ peeps are just peeps. We’re all just excluded from cultural discourse and painted as a “sex thing”. The lesson kids should be learning is how wrong it is to be bigoted.

Eisenhower-era tax brackets would be a good start.

A HS friend has said that since, well, HS.

Just putting this one up for someone who has the wherewithal to make this happen.

Markwayne Mullin is awful and corrupt for many reasons.

Not having a college degree is not one of them.

I know plenty of people W/O degrees who have more moral backbone, smarts, common sense, and compassion than at least half of Congress. Mullin isn't one, but not bc he did not graduate college.

I hope more are yelling WITH you than AT you. We have a decades-long cleanup if we make it to that point.

We lost ABSOLUTELY NOTHING by getting rid of Franken. We actually GAINED from it.

Lil' Donny wants his one-and-done reality TV episode. He won't be able to do that this time. Let's hope she can redeem herself and stop some modicum of madness. Otherwise (read both posts in thread)...

I'm half crazy, all for the love of you... Digital Circus Episode 8 drops March 20th

Sarah Kendzior Sounds Alarm on Trump’s Calculated Iran Move YouTube video by The Mark Thompson Show

"Trump has no ideological commitment. He likes his foreign policy 'one and done': kidnap Venezuela's prez, drop a MOAB on Afghanistan. He sees it like reality TV: these are plot twists in his season finales. I’m worried the war on Iran is a series finale — for Earth."

That is seriously an FT article, isn't it? Do you have a link to it? Even if it's paywalled someone who has a subscription can maybe gift it or provide more context (date, etc.).

I'm Shipping Up To Boston - Dropkick Murphys YouTube video by Mark Higgins

You've probably heard this:

www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-64...

Perry: This St. Patrick’s Day, don’t forget Irish music’s anti-fascist roots Dropkick Murphys, the iconic Irish American punk band, are headlining a free block party March 6 near where Alex Pretti was killed by immigration agents, contributing columnist David M. Perry writes.

NEW “We’re celebrating a tradition that is at its core about resisting occupation and maintaining community in the face of horrors. You can’t keep politics out of Irish music. No one should try, for two reasons. First, it’s ahistorical. Second, Minnesotans are ready for a big anti-fascist party.”

Alright, well given that I'm going to take a big swing, stretch the idea of "code" a bit and go with We Computers

This is a photo of Graham Platner with a man wearing an 88 shirt, who also seems to think that Graham Platner will "Stand against The Jews."

Both US and Canadian sides?

And is probably more 90s (complimentary) than any of the aforementioned.
