All Glen's fault

Realizing we're heading into the 119th Congress. Popcorn is in the popper

This was a problem in the late 60's as well, even in high school. There were (probably extremely few) teachers who espoused teaching critical thinking and encouraging students to come to their own conclusions. The ones that did and made a difference in many of their student's life's probably had short careers.

Carter's activism and community work post presidency cemented his legacy. I fear we will not see anyone in public office again who exemplifies what it truly means to have Christian values.

The Republican members, the majority party in the US House of Representatives, cannot get their act together and its Biden’s fault. Reason #5790 why I will never not Republican while this fool is in charge https://bsky.app/profile/ronfilipkowski.bsky.social/post/3lei56ugwc22t

Am I correct in assuming this is the post that has MAGA up in arms today?

So happy to know I take up so much space in your thoughts.

Why do you think I should give you a straight answer when you don't have the decency to do the same. I don't pretend to know the minds of other me, so pretending to know Biden's reasoning. It is a morally reprehensible answer to a morally repressible question.

Campbell press conference Pure off the wall thinking here. Bring him in on the roster, negotiate in the off-season for a possible opening on the coaching staff.

You should know, you play it well

Since Trump has already sold the country to Musk for a handful of magic beans....

You must be new here. All our political threads tend to wander like cow paths in an orchard

No argument here. Since 2021 or so we've attempted to start new traditions. With families that have different beliefs or religions, I've long believed you don't need a building, congregation, or specific set of rules to celebrate a time of the year where the celebration of the Solstice goes back more than 2000 plus years. The past few years it's become about family and getting to know the younger generations better. We've gone from Dirty Christmas to "Pasta Rustic-a" a Saturday evening gathering just to visit with siblings, nieces, nephews, spouses and now a newer generation of kids. No politics, just regular conversation. We've also extended invitations for family members to visit while Colonial Williamsburg is at its season's finest, fireworks and crowds options. Decorating is minimal. I did enjoy the Too Hot to Handel concert on PBS the other night.

This truly would be a Christmas miracle https://bsky.app/profile/joncooper-us.bsky.social/post/3le5myzebvc2v love how Denmark isn’t taking any **** from Donald Trump. 🇩🇰 🤣

Pondering this a bit more. I'm still opposed to public funds going to private schools. What also needs to be done is getting more groups involved with early childhood education, preschool so to speak. There are too many children entering kindergarten and first grade who are not prepared, especially in the inner city. One of the problems is their parents have no clue on how to prepare their offspring. There are some groups attempting to work with individual communities, but it's just a drop in the bucket. It's also a challenge to encourage parents to attend the sessions. IMO, it's little things like reading to your kids, encouraging them to explore. Simple things like reading the cereal box for example. Those of us dreaded Boomers had things like Ding Dong School, Romper Room, Captain Kangaroo. We were already equipped with ABC's, and counting by the time we entered school. Our kids had things like Sesame Street, Electric Company, etc. but we're middle class. I have a feeling in the "projects" not so much.
