#Floriduh is one of many (mostly red) states that have a severe #TeacherShortage , but they fired a teacher for name-calling. Not a racial epithet, but the name that the student prefers.

Ubisoft is really upset at this idea of you owning the games that you bought. Um, Ubisoft? This is why everyone hates you.
Weaponization of the Justice Department. Wasn't someone whining and complaining about that for the last four years or so, or did I imagine that?
Today, we remembers the death of the German Protestant theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer, who was executed on this day in 1945 for his active opposition to Nazism. May his courage and his memory never be forgotten. #dietrichbonhoeffer #fascism #nazism #Trump #MAGA #Germany #theology #USA #stupidity #cheapgrace #religion #christianity #christian #ChristianNationalism #philosophy #sociology #psychology #resist #TrumpLies #trumptariffs #decline #usa #jesus
Why Stupidity Is More Dangerous Than Evil via Lifehacker [Shared]
Dietrich Bonhoeffer knew more than you or I are likely to ever know about about the line between stupidity and outright evil. The Lutheran pastor and theologian had a front row seat as he watched the Nazis—history’s evilest stupid people (or stupidest evil people)—ascend to power and come to rule through terror during the 1930s and ‘40s.
In a letter to his friends, family, and followers written while he awaited execution at Flossenbürg concentration camp for his role in the July 20, 1944 assassination attempt on Adolph Hitler, Bonhoeffer detailed his thoughts on the root cause of the moral and intellectual infection that resulted in the Third Reich. His conclusion: It’s the stupidity, stupid.
America's "*Health Secretary*" thinks that "Beef Tallow" and "French Fries" are a "cure all" while watching kids die of preventable 'Measles'... and these are the same idiots trying to put Tariffs on Pharmaceuticals & Vaccines on Australia? What level of utter dipshittery are they thinking? Are these people officially The MOST stupid people on Earth or what?

Went grocery shopping and created a trade deficit between me the store.
They gave me stuff, took my money - but won't buy anything from me. Bigly unfair, they probably want to destroy this household!
But fear not, retaliation is here: I will boycott their booze isle! Relentlessly!
What? No, I have a surplus of homemade wine, thx.
Happy Tuesday,

"I’ve said before that Trump does not think of policy the way most of us do, operating instead like a low-level mob boss running a protection racket. Unfortunately, a bunch of rubes decided to give him another bite at the apple, and now the entire global economy has to pay up."
