Our general view here is that we do our viewers the best service by presenting them with the full context they need to assess the story of why Bari Weiss sucks so bad.
Let's iterate them! There are Rosie and Evangeline and, um who is the one who talks about clean coal? And that Italian person who murders people a lot. Then the Juden who does stuff and the other one. And Fleming who does Canadian. It's all jolly.
Becca and the one who talks about windmills windmills windmills and his EV are the ones who swing the banhammer, except on Night Shift, because they don’t even yell “don’t make me come in there“ anymore.
Evan cusses even more than Becca, and has cute dogs, sequentially.
Robyn will be all serious and righteous, but then if she sees a new facial or hair product scuttling across her path, she gets all, “ooh did you see that?” and starts running after them.
Andrew has stopped saying that he’s our aspiring Canadian boyfriend, maybe because he knows he doesn’t have to aspire anymore, maybe because he stopped aspiring because he thinks we should be the ones doing the aspiring at this point, and I can’t say he’s not right.
Marcie knows fucking everything, scary smart. Or maybe scary, smart.
Killer Martinis… [newbies look around, wonder why everybody is standing up and taking their hats off— pants are, of course, already off— but they stand up and take their hats off and whisper to each other]
It's so sad about CBS, which was once considered a superb network. Since I haven't watched CBS, NBC, and ABC in a very long time, I'm not personally affected, but it's still a shame.
I just can't keep up. Not enough room in my brain for this stuff and the Trumpian horror we are trying to live through. My dog is better informed than I am, because when I leave the house I leave MS NOW on for her.
"TJ Sabula, a 40-year-old United Auto Workers Local 600 line worker at the factory, told The Post that he was the one shouting at Trump. He said he has been suspended from work pending an investigation." I hope he's suspended with pay, enjoys a few days off on Ford's time, and returns to work triumphant.
Haha, "voiced concerns to the President". Sure, I guess you can say that yelling out that he's a pedophile enabler is a way of voicing concerns. Certainly having a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist and a possible pedophile in the highest office in the land is of concern to me.

At the same time, support for cellphone bans is rising among U.S. adults.
I work with kids that age. A quarter to a half of what they're doing on their cell phones, in class, is texting their parents.
And I don't think a ban is the right solution in high school. It might be appropriate for younger kids, but the point of high school is to prepare students for life after school. Colleges and employers aren't going to keep bugging them about their phones, they're just going to fail or fire them if they can't figure out how to set it aside and get shit done. They need to learn how to start balancing this thing that will always be in their pockets and the rest of their lives. And I don't think a complete ban on phones helps them get there.
Again, a ban in elementary schools might make more sense, and might get students better prepared to figuring out that balance in their teens. But I'll listen to elementary school teachers on that question.
I mean I fully understand placing them aside during a test, but I honestly prefer to be able to contact my son when he's at school, or on his way home. And no, I don't trust him to remember to get his phone from the office every day.
I am just curious, because I am VERY OPPOSED to parents contacting their children during the school day, what do you have to contact them about that cannot wait until lunch or after school? I get very, «In my day, we didn't have cellphones!" but I am will to hear parents out.
Mainly it's contacting him on the way home ... unless he's forgotten his lunch or needs to contact us for something. Especially now that he's taking the city bus too and from school.
Wouldn't that be the people who created Gork? I mean if someone got an artist to draw a third party nude, the artist would bear some of the liability right?
This will be interesting to watch. It will affect how these tools are categorized. I suspect the FCC will say (under section 230) that the poster bears all the blame, not the company who created the AI.
Well, good! I slept MOST of last night through after waking up for a few minutes at about midnight when I ended up finishing an episode of The Alfred Hitchcock Hour. I managed not to nap yesterday thereby creating the sleep deficiet I need to get through the night. There will be no nap today as I have lunch with friends at 11:30 in OKC and after that, I head down to Austin for a couple of days in the office. There will be no napping those days either. Hopefully by the time I get back Saturday I'll be back to sleeping nights through and done with my siesta phase (it was fun).
I enjoyed Mathra v. Godzilla very much last night. Great fight scenes. I happen to enjoy the guy-walking-around-in-a-big-suit era of these particular films. These's something about how the monsters' limited mobility that I love. It keeps them from being OVERLY powerful, one of my big complaints about the bad guys in superhero movies (not really a fan, personally). Tonight is another kaiju flix by Ishiro Honda, but not Godzilla.
Not looking forward to taking my tax money down to Vichy Texas. Oklahoma is ruby red, but it's not like THAT crazy place, especially Norman isn't. Austin likes to brag that it's a blue oasis, but "blue" is a relative term. Most dems in TX would be moderate MAGA GQP pieces of trash anywhere else, though I do think that social pressure is good for my boss as even she seems baffled by all that is happening.
Saturday night is the event celebrating drivers for the needle exchange. Looking forward to it. I hope lots of participants show up! I would really like to get to know some of them!
I'm not going to share that. Let's say there are people here who bet they couldn't be found but I ended up with their credit reports and satellite photos of their houses.

Sorry, I have no idea what you're talking bout.
Every single author here has been vetted by Rebecca (Rosie in my daft quote).
Evan is hilarious. We all know this. Every single person is hilarious.
Dok wilds in quotes that most don't get.
Marcie wordsmiths like Evan.
Robyn is righteous.
Rebecca knows what she's doing.
Oh.
I love the comments too. People here write things that are new and creative and different.
Must agree.
I forgot Marcie.
Tony should have kept his old job as stay at home house husband.

It's so sad about CBS, which was once considered a superb network. Since I haven't watched CBS, NBC, and ABC in a very long time, I'm not personally affected, but it's still a shame.
My very liberal mother always directed me to CBS for then news.
I thought Weiss was married to the new anchor?
She is an anchor. More like a bag of cement tied to a leg.
She's married to a woman.
I knew it! Incompetence is a female.
/s
Maybe that would have been better as “Nah, she’s married to incompetence.”
Yeah, that’s the ticket.
Nah, whitey mctedium is married to katy tur
Speaking of a meet cute, she hired him to ghost-write her tome about covering the first Trump campaign.
I fucking read that. Whitey McTedium wrote it? Double-fuck Katy Tur then.
Ha. I did not know this. Jeez.
Not that there's anything wrong with that. (Seinfeld)
Oh she’s wrong alright. But not about that.
I just can't keep up. Not enough room in my brain for this stuff and the Trumpian horror we are trying to live through. My dog is better informed than I am, because when I leave the house I leave MS NOW on for her.
Weiss is currently lesbianing but I suspect it's as performative as the rest of her ridiculous horseshit.
Anne Hache redux
Would you want to fuck Weiss? I for sure wouldn't.
It'd be like wanting to have sex with blancmange.
Talentless blancmange.
The dots are all scattered, yet interconnected
If there weren't double standards they'd have no standards at all.

The Ford worker has been suspended for making a good point. Trump, who responded by swearing and giving the guy the finger, is keeping his job.

Bummer. Suspended "without pay."
If he's permanently fired he better get a life preserver before the flood of donations drown him.
I'm guessing there will be job offers, too.
Haha, "voiced concerns to the President". Sure, I guess you can say that yelling out that he's a pedophile enabler is a way of voicing concerns. Certainly having a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist and a possible pedophile in the highest office in the land is of concern to me.
Of course nothing he said to McShitspants was incorrect. Hope the union gets him back pay
Also, not gonna help you Ford. He’s already said out loud what he thinks of auto manufacturers.
He already has a GoFundMe. As he says...
"I don't feel as though fate looks upon you often, and when it does, you better be ready to seize the opportunity. And today I think I did that."
Well dump is a pedo protector. That’s just a fact.
"I'M GETTING RICH OFF THIS."
I dunno about "rich" but he might not have to worry about paying his bills for a couple of months.
Well, I can't put it off any longer.

30% couldn’t be surveyed. They were on the phone.
I may have loudly disagreed to this if I was their age but: This decision is not theirs to make.
Agreed. Part of being a child is having to turn over decisions to people with more wisdom and experience.
Take their phones. Give ‘em weed. You’ll still see a marked improvement on standardized tests.
I spend enough time waking kids up as it is.

lol lamers
I've seen this before "Ahm in [country] and need moneh real fast"
Yeah yeah you stupid ass, you've not done anything interesting for five years, I don't believe you
Problem with you, mate, is you might actually BE in that country ...
Oh yeah, me, nobody fucking knows. Boring halfwits claiming they're in Paris? Nope, you ain't there and I don't believe you.
Also the chances of me asking for money are slim.
