@adamconner Your four-year-old has good standards: the best place to watch a baseball game is where the green monster is. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Mon…

Raising a child with someone from Philadelphia is so insidious, I caught my child watching a 14 minute YouTube video entitled “Best of Phanatic” and now my four year old says she won’t go to a baseball game unless “the green monster is there.” (We live in DC, I’m a nats fan).

Yes, even 40 years ago I remember a requirement to buy a meal plan for freshmen, at least. Upperclassmen had many options, including eating clubs and co-ops, and including cooking for themselves if their rooms had a proper sink, stove, and refrigerator (many did), or if they paid a small fee to join various kitchens on campus that had proper facilities.

"The student requested anonymity due to fear of retaliation."
Sounds like the dining hall is run by the mafia...
Can someone who went to college confirm to someone, like me , who didn't attend that universities force their students onto the meal plan? Seems odd, why cant the kids just eat where they want to? Is it because Stanford is trying to pinch every penny out of their customers?
English
Stanford has introduced Jain-friendly dining options, which means students can no longer pretend to be Jain to get out of the meal plan.

@ZODIAC_MF Not to make assumptions but if you “read between the lines” of what Trump said i think it’s fair to conclude that he may be threatening Iran.

Reminder that children who do not receive one or more vaccines due to their parent’s convictions are not locked away in an attic. They are going to church, participating in sports leagues, enrolled in ballet class, are part of large homeschool meetups, etc. They are just denied, in a few states, an in-school education. In this instance, let’s be more like Sweden, Norway, Denmark, etc., that have no school mandates. Persuade parents on the merits and, if you can’t, that is called informed consent. They were informed and didn't consent; mandating over their objection is immoral and illiberal.

@chriswithans I forget which state was which, but of Pennsylvania and Massachusetts in 1991, one disclosed my score, and one did not (other than saying that I passed). I remember that in 1996, New Jersey disclosed at least the MBE score, because it was identical to the 1991 MBE score.

This is basically the common response from lawyers. "It doesn't matter, you sir are a maroon for asking, but also I aced both my LSAT and bar exam [even though the latter didn't provide the score]." It's like DEI Defense by proxy.
I mean I understand. Law is one of the few truly adversarial systems in America and the good lawyers want to be matched up against the bad ones. I'm sure Tom Brady would've been fine with no Wonderlic test. He scored above average. But teams wouldn't have seen Ryan Kirkpatrick on one end or Derek Carr on the other.

Bar Exam score!? Only one score that matters to bar exam takers: pass.

@jeffreytucker @AdamWilday Trump could’ve:
- Lifted Public Health Emergency
- Canceled states’ Stafford Act disaster declarations
- Removed Sars2 from list of quarantinable diseases
- Used DPA to reopen businesses like he did with SD meatpacking plant
- Changed his own admin’s official policy

I’m not a DJT fan, but these have been useful reminders that all of the 2020 (federal) hysteria and other bad decisions occurred during DJT-45. He (and his uncontrolled underlings) ruined the economy.

Six years ago, Trump had promised a reopening by Easter but it did not happen. This is because he had already granted another 30 days of lockdowns after Deborah Birx pleaded for it. After he acquiesced, he suddenly wondered if something was up, that maybe these freaks didn't have his best interest at heart. He stopped speaking to her. A month later, he started making noises about opening up. By then, he had lost control of everything and the deep state was driving the agenda. He could not roll back what he started. The lockdowns lasted until the elections in most places via mail-in ballots that he had approved without knowing it.

@AszureG @ukboomers @seity555 Yes; “parody” is disclosed right up front, in the bio/profile of the account.

Our little home. Bought in 1982 for £28,000. Just a modest family home in Surrey with a bit of a garden. I remember picking up extra shifts at the post office that summer to save for the deposit. We were so young. Apparently it's worth £1.5 million now but to us it's just home. 🏡

I’m 61. Husband, father, friend. Writer, photographer, health coach. I don’t currently take any prescription medications.
I believe lifestyle is the foundation of health, fitness, and quality of life.
I’m not anti-prescription. I’m against using prescriptions as a substitute for thoughtful lifestyle choices. And I’m skeptical of one-size-fits-all “solutions” that don’t fully weigh costs and benefits.
I also avoid blocking people I can learn from—even when I disagree, even when I find their tone off-putting. There’s usually something I can learn from even the most arrogant people.

@chasinnova2 @HBCBURNER Why do you suppose Texas put “minors” in the header of this section?
English
@rtbrownjr @HBCBURNER Adults need to be 21 or over for those products, but minor is still under 18.
English
@chasinnova2 @HBCBURNER IDK about a fake trap, but “minor” can have different definitions for different things (alcohol & tobacco, 21, vs. juvenile court or contracts, 18).
English
@rtbrownjr @HBCBURNER Yeah, but minor is still under 18, and the charge says minor.
Albeit a fake engagement trap from a parody account.
English
@humpkin_galileo @HBCBURNER For alcohol and tobacco, many jurisdictions use that terminology.
English
@rtbrownjr @HBCBURNER Good to know. Hadn’t realized that 19 year olds are minors.
English
@chasinnova2 @HBCBURNER 2019, federally for the seller, and the same year in Texas for her to possess tobacco.
English
@HBCBURNER Gotta be rage bait
When did the age for minor increase to over 18 ??
She's 19 and that window of opportunity is open!
English
No: since 2019, it’s been against federal law to sell tobacco to minors like her, and in Texas, for minors like her to possess tobacco. She is subject to arrest and punishment for this offense (I express no opinion as to the reasonable, articulable suspicion (or probable cause) the police had, or didn’t have, to seize her and search her).
English
@HBCBURNER 19 year olds can possess tobacco. Someone’s lyin

While you're at it, can you correct this other NY Times piece filled with errors and misstatements? It's been almost 2 years since this was brought to your attention.

NYTimes Communications@NYTimesPR
@sissenberg @nytimes A correction will appear in tomorrow's print edition: "A headline with an article on Friday about President Trump’s threats to leave NATO misstated the full name of the body. It is the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, not the North American Treaty Organization."
