Huge news out of Wisconsin: A liberal effort to gerrymander the state's congressional map for Democrats ahead of this November's midterms is dead.

@realEstateTrent Last September I purchased a refurbished laptop from ebay.

I Haven’t thought about eBay in over 10 years. They’re still doing $10B+ in revenue. Serious question: Who is actually using it?

@libsoftiktok @CorridorScanner @MMSDschools Any Madison area private schools willing to take on some additional students on May 1?

SCOOP: The Madison Metropolitan School District (@MMSDschools) in Wisconsin sent out a message notifying parents that May 1st classes will be canceled so teachers can join anti-ICE protests Your students are forced to lose out on their education so teachers can be left-wing political activists. SHUT IT DOWN

@unclebobmartin If you intend on keeping the outlet then consider replacing the refrigerator if it’s manufactured prior to 2023

Don’t use Grok to help you debug a GFCI outlet tripping. The advice it gives is absurd, and dangerous. Here’s the scenario. I have a refrigerator in the garage. The GFCI has tripped three times in a row. Is the problem in the refrigerator, or is it in the GFCI outlet. Grok’s advice was to plug the refrigerator into a non-GFCI outlet, and if it runs OK then the problem must be in the GFCI outlet. That’s just insane.

@EricJBott She’s living in a dystopian sci-fi world.

That’s an interesting way for the Democratic frontrunner for Wisconsin governor to say “Mom.”

@FrancescaHongWI You must be better than that! x.com/ericjbott/stat…

I’m Francesca Hong, and I’m running for Governor of Wisconsin. I’m a single mom juggling two jobs—and I bring my lived experience into every room I walk into. From the State Capitol to night shifts behind the bar, I know what working people are up against.

Literally how can you look at this and still doubt SpaceX, they're on a while different level for rocket manufacturing never seen before

Is there a single baseball fan that likes in game interviews? I’m gonna say no.

@Matt_Pinner Movie and TV because all programming would be nonfiction

If humans suddenly lost the ability to lie, which industry would collapse first?

@symeew13 8 9 12 14

How many of these concerts have YOU attended?

@JenMsft @XenoPanther

@XenoPanther You know what I'm going to ask 😛

Ah yes "failure"

@mattvanswol So what’s the plan? Tutorials for the kids so can jump ahead of the class?

I just got a phone call from my kid's school. They have cancelled his classes for this Friday, May 1st so that school staff can go protest. I'm so pissed. Every parent I know is scrambling for childcare right now, trying to take off work, they have NO IDEA what they are going to do. How does this happen?! How can they just cancel school for my kid so they can play activist when they should be teaching him TO READ AND DO MATH?! This may be our last straw... Homeschooling feels inevitable at this point. I'm so sick of this... I've been holding my toungue but I will do so no longer. If you want to fix the public schools, you are going to have to do the hard things that NOTHING in this protest will do: 1) DEPORT ALL THE ILLEGAL ALIENS and funding per AMERICAN student will increase DRASTICALLY How do I know? Because when ICE came to Charlotte NC, guess how many kids didn't show up to school? 30,000 kids. Yes, nearly 20% of ALL KIDS didn't show up to school because of ICE, so what does that tell you about how many illegal aliens we have going to our public schools in this country? 2) DRASTICALLY DEFUND THE ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF. There are HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE in school administration in North Carolina right now making $200,000-$315,0000. Guess what? None of them are teachers. Guess which positions in schools have grown in the past 10 years? Number of students: 2.5% increase Number of teachers: 2.2% increase Number of administrators: 45% increase Number of consultants: 107% increase You want to pay teachers more? Great, then you now know EXACTLY where to look. Because the "middle-management" for North Carolina schools grew 20x FASTER than the student population, so there's a good place to start. Sorry for the rant... I've been patient. I've been engaged. I've gone to the meetings. I've read the emails. I've donated, a LOT. I'm really close to just being done. If the public school system thinks canceling class so the adults can go to a rally is acceptable, then the public school system has told me exactly what it values. And it isn't my kid.

@LiamPBeran To the 70%, we accept your resignation.

inbox: The Madison school district is cancelling school for all students on May 1, a planned “Day Without Immigrants” on May Day, as according to the teacher’s union, 70% of staff have signed a statement supporting participation.

At most only 30% of Madison school teachers care about teaching students.

@karol Polka time!

Could the answer to the scourge of people watching their videos without headphones in public be playing your own videos but louder? This might be my next move.

@LloydLegalist Everything in the English language starts with an E and ends with a G.

Nothing in the the English language starts with an N and ends with a G.

@TheGeneral_0 It keeps Wisconsin from falling into the south.

I got nothing.

@giveashitnature It’s a growing trend in Wisconsin. cityofracinewi.gov/news/nomowmay2…

In 2020, a small city in Wisconsin told its residents they could stop mowing for a month. 435 households joined in. The bees came back the same spring. Appleton was the first US city to adopt No Mow May. The city council suspended its weed ordinance for the month so residents wouldn't get cited for tall grass. Around 40 acres of lawn across the city went uncut. Researchers from Lawrence University sampled the unmowed lawns and nearby mowed city parks in the same week. The unmowed lawns had 5 times as many bees and 3 times as many bee species as the mowed parks. Wisconsin is home to nearly 500 native bee species. Most people have never seen them because they don't live in honeybee hives. They're solitary bees, ground nesters, small black or metallic green insects that fit on a fingernail. Appleton's unmowed yards gave them food and shelter in the hungry early-spring window when almost nothing else is blooming. The experiment cost the city nothing. It saved residents fuel and labor. It produced measurable ecological results within 30 days. Dozens of US cities have adopted the practice since. Has yours?

@DanODonnellShow @gregoryjon @JustinEPhillips @HeartlandPostWI The legalization trend is showing signs of retreating. thebluntness.com/the-legal-weed…

Legalization of marijuana has not been a great experiment for the states that have done so. A great bit of analysis and investigation from @JustinEPhillips with @HeartlandPostWI
