Oh, no! 🤢 That is the absolute worst, and there's nothing to do but wait it out. Happy laminating!

One of the very few things I miss about being a classroom teacher. It's so satisfying, including trimming the edges juuuust right. ☺️

I recently discovered that my new phone has a great didgeridoo ringtone, and that if I "test" it it will just keep repeating, over and over. Even at full volume. Even standing next to people having speaker phone conversations in public.

My favorite response on the subject, from James Baldwin: "I never have been in despair about the world. I’ve been enraged by it. I don’t think I’m in despair. I can’t afford despair. I can’t tell my nephew, my niece. You can’t tell the children there’s no hope."

@kairyssdal.bsky.social, I really appreciated your closing comments on today's show, depressing as they were. Thank you.

@npr.org and every other legitimate news org should boycott any briefings from which AP is barred. Where is the WHCA?

I used to assign students to choose from a list of post-WWII American novels, then after reading discuss with others who had made the same choice. Invariably, at least one student would mistakenly read The Road in place of On the Road. Watching the light slowly dawn was always a treat!

I recognize I'm not the target audience for the music, but I'm glued to the screen for any shots of that Buick Grand National!

I mean, yes, but also ... as Sam said to CJ, "Let's forget that you're coming late to the party and embrace the fact that you showed up at all."

Almost eight minutes into the game and USC has ZERO rebounds. That's ... astounding.

Yes. Made the final game in his first (or second?) full year at the helm after Knight's firing.

I remember being awed by ads for his and Troiani's work in CWTI as a (nerdy, regular-subscriber) kid in the Eighties. Thanks for this.

I just happened upon this flipping channels as she started, and thought she killed it, but also agree no one will touch the original.

I am confident he's referencing the 2020 protests. And yes, I know who was president then. I'm betting he does, too, but expects his supporters to forget, or at least misremember.

That's a policy I could actually get behind. Nasty little poop machines.

I think your last sentence sums it all up quite nicely. It's such a goddamned shame.

Okay but I, a Purdue guy, really did appreciate Trey Galloway's haircut, and was also happy for him to have a good game. (May not have felt so generous had his team won. 😉)

So happy for you! It's been 24 years since our son, after years of therapy, said "I love you" for the first time. I remember it like it was yesterday, and still choke up.

If only Magnolia Bakery would return. It's so inconvenient to take the train all the way to NYC when I need a banana pudding.

I think @raskin.house.gov deserves some credit, too, if for nothing else than giving her the mic and getting out of the way. (And he does much more than that, just more quietly.)

Ha! I did that once. Half the class didn't think anything of it at all. The other half ... 😬 We had interesting discussions about the filmmakers choices and what they might be trying to represent. All very legit and above board. But I never made that mistake again! 😆

Love that film. It inspired some of my students at my very conservative high school to start a feminist club that's still going almost 20 years later. One had planned to be a theater major, but switched to law after seeing it. She's currently on track to be on the Supreme Court some day.😊

This is amazing, as was she. What a cool opportunity for you, and a great reminder to all of us. Thanks for sharing!

Looks so much like the fields at my Indiana home. I miss it. Even the snow drifts.
