You would be wrong, but that is not a surprise. Many us voted for her, just like we did for Biden, because he was the Democratic candidate and we knew that was better than Trump. But that doesn't mean she or Biden was who we wanted.

Kamala can't tell us I told you so because she told us she would win by siding with the Cheneys, running to the right of Trump on immigration, continuing Biden's genocide and ignoring economic and healthcare struggles. And she lost. She was wrong and we are suffering for it.

Every day that passes I am more convinced of two things:

1) This regime’s attempt to consolidate and hold power is going to collapse in truly spectacular fashion

2) That collapse is going to be astoundingly dangerous and destructive

Because it's not just one man. Trump is a tool who will stay in place as long as he continues to serve his masters. It is very clear that he can not comprehend what is going on, if he is even aware of much of it.

The US ruling class has effectively given up on competing with China and is just trying to loot as much as they from everyone else while the ship sinks.

He may have started out as one, but he clearly is no longer one.

I was, which is why I got out. I had the very unpopular idea that learning should be active and fun. Schools have been trying to control teachers for a long time. That is why there are so many ex-teachers.

Why is Rampell being picked up by MSNBC and the Bulwark? She is no progressive.

Tell us something we don't already know. We waited all these months to hear from Kamala and this what we get?

It is like there were two different conversations happening. Now with more using ChatGPT to produce the notes, it is getting worse, if that is even possible.

Compression socks are like PT in that they always tell you to use them. But many find they make things worse. That they are so hard to put on and take off s a big fucking clue. One alternative are tubular bandages that come in various thicknesses and can be cut to size.

Is there a difference?

The game of symptom or side effect.

Why, oh why?
What a terrible time
To be alive if you're prone
To overthinking it

One day I was subbing for a kinder class and was requested to "teach" this. So I made it into a game and the kids loved it. The school was also impressed. But really it was the only way I could bear to do it.

There is always a catch. Nothing prepares you for the many ways your body can betray you.

If you stopped smoking and drinking so much you could add ten years to your life.
Yeah but which part of my life?
Uh, the part at the end where you're drooling and shitting yourself.
That's what I thought.

As the federal judge who blocked Trump’s deployment of the National Guard troops in Oregon, ruled that Trump’s claims of daily unrest in Portland were “untethered to facts”.

Most states have cut their Education budgets already. Now w/o the federal dollars, it is going to be a disaster. One that is still not yet clear to the many who will be directly affected.

Do you really think this is groundbreaking? Everyone knows exercise is part of a healthy life. The real question is why is having a healthy life so difficult for most of us.
