Secret Service is spending tens of thousands of dollars an hour to keep the King and Queen safe and in every video I’ve seen, they’ve chosen to ride around in their armored BMW with the windows down. 😂
@Richmaster@DougWahl1 Those rotisserie chickens are actually cheaper if you buy them cooked than raw. As a single mom on a teaching income I used to buy them for exactly that reason. Cooked it’s $6, raw it’s $9-10 at Costco
@DougWahl1 SNAP recipients should not be able to by any precooked food at all, if you don't have a full time job you have all the time in the world to cook meals for your family from scratch!
@DougWahl1 Where I live in California there are EBT accepted here signs in front of Carl’s Jr and McDonald’s, but they can’t buy a cheap and hot rotisserie chicken????
@lulzandlurking@liveandletdev@LASHYBILLS I had an 8th grader get caught measuring and selling weed in his Science class. Not suspended and the cops weren’t called. He participated in 8th grade promotion the following week. My principal Dr. Conteh told me to stay in my lane when I askedhim at the staff meeting about it.
@liveandletdev@carli70525@LASHYBILLS where r u working that there aren't consequences to selling drugs in schools? lmaoooo girl that's some bullshiiiittt
A mother reported that her 9-year-old son was given THC gummies and a vape at school. He ate the entire pack, resulting in severe symptoms that have left him unable to talk or see.
@liveandletdev@LASHYBILLS I used to be a teacher. You would not believe the amount of drugs students bring from at the average school. Principals usually don’t have real consequences anymore for bringing, sharing or selling drugs so they are everywhere.
@LASHYBILLS well, not sure why they would have been given gummies at a school, that is horrible smh, and if THC is having this effect on someone, it's likely more than THC because THC doesn't do that, even in very extreme doses.
where did the kid get it all, is the question.
NEW: Tulsa, Oklahoma, has unveiled the state's first-ever "musical road" that plays "This Land is Your Land" when drivers drive over it.
The new feature can be experienced when drivers pass over the Southwest Boulevard Bridge.
The taxpayer price tag works out to about $5,800 per second of music, totaling $110,000.
Drivers are told to drive about 35 mph to get the proper experience.
The noise is produced by grooves in the pavement that create vibrations felt and heard in the car.
Cool.
@mileysversion This means so much to 2 generations actually. You forgot about the moms who watched this with their little girls. When I saw this I instantly saw my daughter as she was 20 years ago. It’s the best. 🥰❤️
Took the wife and kids to see Project Hail Mary. We all really enjoyed it. Its greatest achievement is that it’s an actual family movie. Not too babyish for adults and not too grown up for the kids. Reminds me of the PG movies they used to make all the time in the 80s and 90s. Very much a spiritual descendent of ET. Maybe Hollywood will take the hint and start making real family films again.
It also kind of reminded me of Ad Astra, which is a massively underrated masterpiece. A slower film, more adult oriented and contemplative. That and Arrival are the best space/alien movies of the past 15 years. Project Hail Mary is probably in the top 5. I’d rank it higher than Interstellar.
@GymBr_o I have a bottle with a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and water and my whole family has used this to clean our ears for years. We do it once a week. It helped my gamer son the most because of wax buildup from his headphones.
@GAFollowers All parents that encourage fighting to “stand up for yourself” needs to see this. That fight didn’t seem like that big of deal because both walked away, but you just never know what damage is actually done. Was it worth it?
RIP to Jada West a 12y/ girl from Douglas County tragically passed away after a school dispute escalated into a physical altercation at a bus stop.
Reports say Jada was standing up for herself after she was followed off the bus by a group. 💔
@0Beanie05923291@ColbeyDecker My autistic child and I redid his handwriting all of kindergarten. I can’t tell you the tears that came from both us. His writing is so much better than his sister’s who didn’t have that structure. That taught me a lot about my own teaching.
@ColbeyDecker I was taught in my teacher training not to correct spelling, punctuation, or letter formation. I was told that overcorrection would stifle students. I know better now.
I just read an article about the saturation of devices and YouTube videos in k-12 classrooms. Some parents complained that students were “being read to” by YouTube instead of their teachers. Why in the world would teachers want to delegate one of the best parts of teaching?!
@ColbeyDecker@0Beanie05923291 This isn’t a generation. There’s no training in the teacher credentialing program about application. It’s just theory and a total waste of time. I train teachers on my own time how to teach reading. The districts are useless. I never got formal training until I paid for it.
I believe we are witnessing a generation of teachers, most not all, who don't know how or what to teach. They can manage a classroom but don't understand the nuts and bolts.
I've experienced teachers who are wonderful and thoughtful but don't understand what is wrong with this second grade writing prompt used throughout the district. 50 pages, all incorrect letters sizing, and zero teacher corrections.
During a phone call with the teacher and the principal, they didn't initially understand what I was concerned about until I pointed out example after an example.
