I made the conscious decision to leave marketing last year because I was sick of being part of the propaganda machine to sell shit. I wanted to find a career that solves problems and helps people.

I got my A+ certification in 3 months and was hoping to break into IT, but looked at the tech industry and noped out. In the meantime, I was substitute teaching and found that I actually loved it. I am now in a master’s program for elementary education and really excited to get into a classroom to connect with the kids and be a positive influence on them.

Worked for a company called Praetorian that he and his wife created. Using that as the name of your private security is suspect based on the Praetorian Guard and its history.

I’m guessing he was one of those Republican hires in an attempt to be bipartisan.

Also, the photo of the No Kings flyers that I saw looked weird. They don’t look like they are flyers with any info, just cut squares of paper that say “No Kings” on them from what I saw. If what I saw is legit, it feels potentially planted evidence?

Edit 1: Photo of flyers I’ve seen on various stories

Edit 2: YES, HE WAS REGISTERED REPUBLICAN AS OF 2022 per the NY Post

Agreed! I think the /s is needed now.

Yes, but I read the comment you replied to as sarcasm. Maybe I’m wrong though.

My knee jerk reaction is a Republican dressed as law enforcement to try and stir Democrats into extreme anger or violence for protests today so that law enforcement has a powder keg that allows them the force they want to use.

Tradition is inherently conservative, not progression. Just saying.

Same. Pritzker seems like a dude who actually understands things.

House of Reps are in 2026, and there are all sorts of state and local things so I assume they are meaning all of that.

If shit starts flipping blue everywhere, the R’s will either back off and play defense or escalate and have a lot more opposition. Hopefully more opposition?

My brother is a pilot (not commercial, but was working on his hours for a long time before deciding he didn’t want to) and we were talking about this through text. He told me this:

It’s the first crash of a 787 in something like 14 years and with over 1200 examples flying worldwide. I’ve watched the video several times and much doesn’t add up with this crash. Speculation as to a cause is futile at this point but the cause will be determined relatively quickly as the tail section with the recorders is intact. Reading a bit online, it would appear to be some sort of an electrical failure, likely due to an engine(s) issue which is just astronomically rare (to lose both engines). The RAT appears to be deployed, again, indicating an electrical issue. Additionally, the landing gear are tilted back which would appear to indicate a hydraulics failure. All of this leads one to believe a dual engine failure…again, astronomically rare.

This is a fair point. It sucks, but one could keep the written things for a while to check against. It’s a lot of work and not definitely not ideal, but it is a solution.

Yes, BUT everyone needs to write at some point. Also, some people do not feel comfortable sharing in class and as a teacher we should not be forcing them to. There are different learning types so your approach works for some and not others. That is why there should always be multiple ways to convey learning.

My point is, you won’t get away from writing and you shouldn’t. So, find a way to make sure they know multiple ways to express themselves.

And on the back of COVID where students got away with letting assignments falter or not showing up to things. There is a lasting effect of that as well and then the easy solution comes along. It’s a powder keg.

Well, you knew Godzilla and Mothra so you are doing something right so far!

Weird. I’ve been subbing and am in a master’s program for elementary education and I’m pretty fucking sure they teach handwriting or I’ve been in a virtual world the last half a year.

I would have students do their first few assignments by handwriting while in class as a way to gauge how their voice is and then let them use tech after.

I think that’s a decent way to weed out people using AI or not for their own thoughts on subjects.

Efficiency =/= Accuracy or safety

I can efficiently put a screw in drywall with an electric drill, but it doesn’t mean it will hold it up or attach it to anything.

Rodan. Mothra is cool
