This is great. "You're a smartass," as a high school sped teacher even I have never said that to a curious, intelligent student.
I have not had much exposure to Peterson, and it is not clear to me how he ever got a reputation as any kind of public intellectual. Such a pedestrian mind.

Some states are really bad with teacher compensation, and I have heard Florida is one.
I am a unionized teacher in Oregon, and I am dunned with junk mail and FB ads offering me a "way out of union dues." I laugh and click on, but they seem to want teachers, among others (everyone else) in peonage.

"Fire and Ice" by Robert Frost
Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

He's an amazingly insecure little man. I never thought for a minute he was telling the truth about Carney.
His "boyfriend in Canada."

Right, "shooters" go to prison, "snatchers," well, when you're famous they let you do it.

I barely escaped Article 15s when I was in the Army due to my big mouth, and was called on the carpet numerous times as a teacher for that too.
Come get me, Gazpacho thugs. One of you will lose an eye.

I, too, have been counting on their stupidity and incompetence to see us through, but it's pretty damned embarrassing.

Screw him. He thought jeopardizing his business was worth it to make sure no trans kids played on a soccer team.
Boo fucking hoo.

Having taught in a jail, I can tell you that inmates are very resourceful. Certain brands of toothpaste, mixed with feces after taco Tuesdays, may doo* the trick.
*Yes, that is my level of maturity.

Vance could be "good," though. If he became president, the other seditionists would make the Night of the Long Knives seem like a kid's party.
