Don't get me started.

I don't buy the rumor. InXile already has a post apocalyptic series that seems to do fine. Bethesda is big enough to develop the next Fallout whenever they want. New Vegas wasn't a big enough hit for Microsoft to be desperate to get a sequel out. None of it adds up.

LBJ was such a strange case. https://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/lyndon-johnson-civil-rights-racism-msna305591

We also use mostly All-Clad in our household for pots and pans. We have a bunch of skillets that have been passed down for generations, so I'm not sure how you get those other than finding one second hand. I do use a Greenpan fry pan for a lot of day to day stuff. The All-Clad fry pans get very hot, so I like having a simple pan that isn't as easy to scorch. Green Pan is inexpensive and will wear out with regular use, but it is easy enough to replace. It is non-toxic. It is the only non-stick I have, all of the all-clad is stainless steel.

Evil Dead 4: Dr. Strange gets the Necronomicon I didn't want to go see this in the theater. I really wanted to see The Northman. But I decided that it wasn't really an appropriate family movie day on Mother's Day, so I settled for the latest Marvel offering. For the first 75%, it was a pretty typical MCU vehicle, but at the end it totally turned into a Sam Raimi movie. Spoilers:

I love my trips to Vegas with the wife. The food is probably the second biggest draw. It's also nice to get away from kids for a bit after spending the full year educating and raising them. Plus the hotels are inexpensive midweek and usually pretty nice.

Hey, it's not like women and children vote. They are safe targets.

I'd guess Snipes has mellowed with age and a prison stint.

I get that, but I also like to remind people the Warriors were terrible for about 30 years before this recent run of success. I'm pretty upset about the Gary Payton II situation.

There is some pushback against homework nowadays, but there are still a fair amount of teachers that rely on it heavily. We have plenty of evidence and studies that show it isn't a great tool, but the tradition stands. Oddly enough, gym class has become more academic since the days of Grommie pummeling his classmates in dodgeball. 😉 I'm not anti-homework, but I find that it is too often just busywork. As a parent I'm also very aware that these kids have little time during the week to get homework done. My daughter is often up after we've gone to bed finishing French homework. I'd rather her get to bed.

Wesley Snipes could use the money and still looks fit, so I'm bummed he isn't still in the MCU in some fashion.

That was 24 years ago?!?

Except Reno 911. That is a documentary.

As an NHL fan, it always amazes me how rare upsets are in the NBA. If Memphis wins tonight it means all 8 matchups ended with the higher ranked team advancing. I know it will get a bit trickier in the 2nd round, but it still is crazy to me how predictable it is. I'm enjoying watching the Warriors. It was crazy how they tried to handle Jokic. He is just such a massive force out there, he'd be surrounded by 3 guys and still slowly push his way to the rim and just float it in. He played great in the last few games, but the Warriors kept the tempo up and wore them down. That will be a lot harder to do against Memphis, who are big and can match the speed of the Dubs.

Someone dislikes Chef Curry? Is that you, Charles Barkley?

I have a pretty sizeable spider living near my outdoor camera light. Every once in awhile the spider will crawl across the camera lens and trigger a terrifying recording. I also have a bird that seems to delight in setting off the motion sensor.

I remember the picture and there was a very negative reaction to it internationally. The US military condemned the picture and said there would be an investigation. I have no idea what came of that, but pointing to a disgraceful moment for the US military doesn't excuse what Russia is doing.

I'm not sure how that applies to anyone transitioning, though. I'd hesitate to change physical requirements if they are deemed necessary for combat efficiency. Of course, if a woman can meet the requirements, or someone transitioning, then why does the biology even matter? I'm sure there are still plenty of men that can't meet the requirements either. Actually what I'd like to see if more requirements that clearly favor the female biology. Sure, the beefy guy can lift a bunch of stuff, but can he push through labor pains for 12 hours? edit: More serious example - Is speed more important than endurance? My wife is not going to beat my time in a triathlon, but she is going to outlast me on a course. Do these tests accurately assess the importance of that?

I'm just not sure where this becomes an issue. Is it bathroom usage? Sports? Where does it really matter to you or I how someone identifies themself? The biology would seem to be a non-issue for the vast majority of people, and yet it has become this huge point of debate.

I guess if we want a modern war comparison, 4,431 US soldiers were killed in Iraq.

Huh, the example looks more like a late high school/college problem, but I am not keyed into math curriculum.

I'm curious how large those ethnic studies classes were, as well. Having smaller class sizes is such a massive difference in how I am ale to teach. My smallest class has 27 kids and my largest is 34, and there is a world of difference between the two.

Ah, if only basic math was exciting enough to engage 8-year old kids by the numbers alone. I'm going to address the last statement "We are lagging behind much of the rest of the world" first. That is tied completely to economics and poverty. It isn't the textbooks. It isn't the teachers. It isn't the curriculum. Poor states have poor test scores. States that don't spend money on students don't see growth. It is a cycle of inequity. This is, of course, a simplification, because poverty can change drastically, county to county, district to district, and school to school. Now back to the SEL, or CRT, or whatever buzzword you want to give to teaching to the whole child and not just their number-sense. It's important. They are kids. A few will probably be really into the numbers and will thrive no matter what, but most are going to need incentive. They are going to need to be engaged. Representation is important. Girls Who Code is a great example of that. Ok, I'm on Spring Break, so I'm out of energy to talk about education.

I am pretty sure that is just called common sense. Who wants to be in a large crowd?
