If the Academy were real it wouldn’t be so bad at choosing movies. That said I’ve only seen one of the Best Picture nominees and very few in other categories. Wish Kimmel would start telling jokes already. I’m 4/9.
Hoping you can find a new job quickly.
W.Va. lawmakers try to give teachers smaller raise, accidentally pass bill giving them full raise
The West Virginia state Senate on Saturday tried to vote to give teachers a smaller raise hike than negotiated, but accidentally voted on a bill giving teachers the requested raise.
lol
That’s awesome.
I raise the point to show how inconvenient and even dangerous protections of liberty can be.
I think the existence of the second amendment and the way it’s been interpreted is a pretty solid showcase of this as well.
I think we’re getting to a good place where Frink wants to arm white supremacist teachers and I want to repeal the 1st Amendment. This is the stuff that makes it so worthwhile to debate politics. Still, I think guns for hunting (even if I cannot understand the appeal) and self defense (even if I don’t feel the need for one) makes more sense than being compelled to keep white supremacist teachers in our schools.
moviefreakmind, agree it’s not the kind of person we want teaching kids. But, as you now admit, when the government takes adverse action like firing that implicates the 1st Amendment. Whether some voices deserve oppression doesn’t make it non-oppression, as I’d think you’d agree if she were fired for being a Hindu or transgender.
I raise the point to show how inconvenient and even dangerous protections of liberty can be. I think the school will have an easy time getting rid of this particular teacher, as I said. And that’s a good thing. But if you really think white supremacists should never be teachers, we gotta do something about the 1st Amendment. Your “common right wing talking points” preface is irrelevant.
She can be fired. Are we really going to advocate for white supremacists being employed as public school teachers now?
I hope nobody here does that. But we do have a 1st Amendment.
Obviously the best solution to this is to give her a gun while she’s teaching.
That would be a bad idea. We do have a horrible 1st Amendment that allows her to do her podcast without repercussions like being fired. Time to repeal that amendment too? Maybe we can avoid that problem in this case if she expressed these statements in school (as she said she did and lied to the principal) or discriminates against students. But do we ever want white supremacists in our schools?
She can totally be fired for that, can’t she? Just not jailed or legally barred from making and distributing her podcast?
No. Public schools, or any other government employer, can’t punish people for their beliefs and expressions. If she brings it into the classroom that’s another matter, which may be the case here.

Looks like the poster designs were stolen from a French musician.
C’est dommage! Don’t know the artist has much of a case but it’s shabby to copy his work that way.
Nice word, “toyetic.” I wonder if this movie appeals to kids less than other SW movies, for the same reasons. I feel R1 wasn’t a very toyetic movie either. Also the idea I’ve heard that the market is over saturated makes sense. I intend to keep my kids away from screens much as possible, that’s just terrible.
Love that show. I hope you’re successful this time.
Sounds exhausting. I don’t like normal rituals involved in religion.
I’ve gone over it every which way and I can’t imagine how that dog was made. Nice ears though.
Hello 🌔 What do you do all night?

The kind of thing you never knew you needed to know. Wow.
Original “arms-are-really-legs-&-ears-are-really-flippers” Max is now the Max of my personal canon.
Gotta admit that’s s cool concept.
Peanut butter is supposedly not very popular in the U.K.
Well that accent on the “e” would normally result in Oh-Lee-Ay.
Aren’t all weapons dangerous?
“Dangerous and unusual” appears to be used as a hendiadys.
It’s been argued that how “cruel and unusual” should be read, rather than as independent terms.
Have I been pronouncing “Ric Olié” wrong all this time?
How have you been pronouncing it?
I was hoping to be spared embarrassment. But fine. I say it so that it rhymes with “Spicoli.”
The eczema on my hands is getting fucking annoying
Maybe because it’s psoriasis and is upset you don’t know it’s name.

Hey
If that weren’t the most important part I’d call you self-centered!
CatBus, the Bill of Rights were not a grant of power to the government. In terms of the scope of the right, you quickly run into problems if the federal government imposes all manner of restrictions on individual ownership: it tramples on the state prerogative to have militias. The Amendment pretty clearly protected individual ownership of arms because of the state prerogative. It says so. You’re right that arms are not only guns. For example knives are a kind of arm. The Court held that the scope of the right extends only to weapons that would be normally posessed for use in a militia and excludes dangerous and unusual weapons. That is the originalist holding. The idea that state militias would be compelled to use outdated technology doesn’t make sense. When we consider the free exercise clause we don’t limit it to religions that existed at our founding but that doesn’t make it non-originalist.
Hopefully it would be like Tuvix.
Handsome elephant.
