Yep. Thousands upon thousands of … shit now I forgot the term, presidential decrees? At least concentrate on those, and, if you would, pick those that really matter. That actively dismantle democracy and directly hurt people. Not some media tiff.
How do you prove a negative?
What a coincidence, i said that yesterday!
That whole “invasion of immigrants” has been FUD from the beginning… which was a long time ago… nothing gets voters like having someone to blame for your misery, even if it’s bullshit.
The pope election with similar Latin terms is too close, I have to remind myself…

Oh, that’s pretty neat. “You have to produce the prisoner” is basically what it means?
Of course I’m not the least bit surprised that they don’t like that. OTOH, they already just ignore the courts so why bother “looking at” it. 🤷

Too chickenshit to admit he’s a turncoat?
Their extremism has a limit?
anti-genocide singer
Is this a singer who has made singing against the Palestinian genocide the main message of her songs?
Or is this a singer who sings, and just happens to have an anti-genocide opinion?
Not that one of these options would make Adams’ choice better - it’s wrong no matter what - but it’s an important distinction imho.
Or are these fearfully conservative* politicians actually just pushing artists into taking a stance, by being so censorial?
* yes, he’s a Democrat

I have to admit I agree with everything you wrote. This was my school time as well.
The one I work at now is much smaller (120 kids max) and has a relatively high educator-to-kid ratio (more than 1 to 10, but not all work full time), but there’s something inherently counterproductive in the system itself: the division into classes by age, the idea that older is better, but then mixing all these kids up again. Not all kids are bound to do stupid shit, but most kids are bound to look up to those slightly older ones, and most of those take advantage of that… and that’s all before puberty hits. Take that into the mix - 💣
Well at least they didn’t send you out to look for the kids!
While materially things are better at my school, the emotional aspect of it sounds familiar. Nevertheless, your bosses do the guilt tripping? I would think it’s typically the parents, sometimes better-than-thou coworkers.
I’m beginning to think that working at a school, the days you go home with a knot in your stomach and a lump in your throat will always outweigh those when you feel things went well and you’re appreciated.
I used to work in a kindergarten before that and never realized how much I appreciated the smaller and tighter, more exclusive environment. I know how to deal with kids that age. We spend the whole day together. They might be mean, too, but never as mean as a school kid can be, and I just know my way around their emotions, usually.
In school, they are under so many people’s responsibility during one day, no wonder they start rebelling.
I work with kids in Northern Europe and I don’t even know how to relate to this.
My pay is shitty (I’m not an actual teacher) and I never made it a secret that I’m not paying for anything myself. I buy, collect receipts, and get the money back from my employer with my paycheck. And I collect all the receipts. This has never been a problem, but some coworkers seem to feel morally superior because they buy it from their own money and just wave it off, kinda. I find that baffling. It has nothing to do with having actual dedication to your job.
The situation is very different from yours I guess.
Is that per year?
Considering what I heard how underequipped most schools over there are, it doesn’t sound like much.
Court ordered - return when?
You remember the video where someone filmed the rainbows a sprinkler made in the sun, and claimed it was proof that “they” are poisoning our water?
Maybe in some country/countries. In others, it is extremly uncommon. Actually.

TIL that’s a thing. Eww.
Different article, but the picture just makes me so happy:
Thanks for confirming.
