New York Governor Kathy Hochul just made it official: Kids in schools with 250+ students will be forced to mask up for the entire 2026-2027 school year. No exceptions without a doctor’s note. She’s citing “flu and rhinovirus outbreaks” (the same ones that magically disappeared during the pandemic) and claiming masks stopped everything. 92% of NY schools will be hit by this. They’re really trying to bring back the 2020 circus.

Rolling Stone moved Eric Clapton down from the top 10 of greatest guitar players of all time to 35 because he admitted to being Covid "vaccine" injured & refused to discriminate on entry to his concerts based on "vaccine" status. They even admit the reasoning in the explanation!

When I was in grammar school and high school, it was extremely rare for any teacher to make any reference to their personal lives. The only clue to teachers’ lives outside the classroom were the honorifics “Miss” and “Mrs,” which told you whether the teacher was married, and of course there were no such clues for male teachers. With one possible exception, I don’t recall any professor or lecturer ever talking about their personal lives, their political beliefs, their sexual orientation, or anything other than the course topic during the four years that I was in college (University of Pennsylvania, 1963-1967). (The one exception was a sociology course taught by a lecturer, who made repeated references to being from Walnut Creek, CA – references that meant nothing to me since I had never heard of Walnut Creek.) When I read online about the things that teachers at all levels now “share” with their students, I am reminded of the truth of the line, “The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there.”

can't believe that just happened: Trump got a NASA question and deferred to NASA administrator Jared Isaacman, saying "the best man to tell you that is the man sitting right over here. You heard that question with those beautiful ears of yours ... He's got super hearing"

I’m tired of talking about, thinking about, hearing about, reading about PeRiMeNoPaUsE. I’m just going to ignore it & see what happens. Our moms did not talk about it incessantly & they’re doing ok.

How the hell are accounts with sub 200 followers making ads that go in my timeline? I won’t pay for premium to avoid this. I’ll leave.

I have asked that question many times in my life. I get pretty much every other nickname for Margaret but Peg? Nope. TBF, I still have issues with Jack being a nickname for John. Same number of letters with three of them changed. It's like using the word Cats as a nickname for Dogs. What? I can change the first letter if I want. See also Peg.

Has anyone seen this??

うん、ごめん ほんとごめんなんだけど 刺身と天ぷらがメインの店で「魚介類全般と小麦粉がアレルギーなので食べられません」と言われると 正直、「Youは何しにご来店？」って思ってしまうんだけど… これは店側が配慮するべきなんだろうか… こういう客にいつも悩む だって、出汁もダメなんだぜ…？

said this a million times but Apple are idiots for not doing a 25th anniversary iPod this year clickwheel, multiple colors, Apple Music, Bluetooth and AirPods support, a good DAC and storage up to 2 TB just to appease the audiophiles — boom, you have the product of Christmas 26
