The children are gone
I legit thought this was going to be an immigration/deportation thread. https://www.the74million.org/article/trumps-deportation-plans-threaten-millions-of-families-who-is-protecting-them/ "Parents showing their children where passports and other important legal documents are hidden at home. Mothers and fathers signing affidavits outlining who their childrens’ caregiver would be. Guardians making arrangements with schools for dismissal in the event they have been picked up by federal agents in a deportation sweep. These are the daily conversations and heartbreaking realities mixed-status families — where not all kids, parents or grandparents hold American citizenship or legal status to reside in the U.S. — are rehearsing in case children come home to an empty house."

Non-Texas weather. The all-encompassing thread
I don't hate that it's district by district, I just don't understand why any of them wouldn't pull the plug today. Unless you're like some private schools in which 95% of the kids get dropped off at the door by their parents, it really just doesn't make sense. Hell, the private school my kids go to fits that description and even we got canceled.

-17 at my house. All the schools around here are closed for the day. My dogs are not happy. The one who usually spends 30 minutes outside to start the day was like "nah, I'm good."

Silo (Apple TV+) - Premiers May 5th
I'm serious. To anyone just beginning the 2nd season, Watch the "previously on" before episode 2, and then skip to the "previously on" for episode 3. Continue this until the second to last episode and then watch it and the finale beginning to end. You will miss a whole lot of boredom and cringe, but nothing of import.

I thought the same thing about Minnesotans, but concluded that the 3% probably differentiate themselves as "Upper-Midwest" with the remaining .5% distinguishing themselves as "Great lakes" or "Great Plains".- Non-Texas weather. The all-encompassing thread

I haven't used mine at all, just shoveled once. Last year I didn't use it until March. 2022/2023 was record snow though. You never know.- Severance (Apple TV)

Whoops. That's Celsius. It's really only about 0, so I'm not sure what he's bitching about.- Hawaiian Senator

He was worried about UK knife crime. Let's see how he does with Romanian prison-shanks. I'm sure the guards will be interested in his opinion.- Surly kids who can't get into UT
If you're looking in the Midwest already, you ought to add Carleton. My niece from Florida swims there and absolutely loves everything about it. She's another example of what's been discussed on this page. Her grades in high school were great, but who knows if she would have gotten in without preferred admissions.- The Supremes
I realize that my last statement seemingly contradicts my early one when I said that the 1st amendment doesn't guarantee the delivery mechanism of your choice. So, I'll clarify. What I mean is that we don't automatically get to set all of the terms of our "speech". I can say what ever I want, but that doesn't mean I get a microphone and crowded theater just because I want it. I can write whatever I want, but that doesn't mean I get to have it published wherever and by whomever I want. I can post another video of me standing on my head, wearing only a thong, lip syncing "I want it that way", but... I've said too much.- The Supremes
No, I would not support a complete ban on books just because a particular publisher was found, apart from the content it published, to represent a clear and present danger to the national security of the United States; Just as I'm not advocating the complete ban on social media just because Tik Tok, apart from the content it hosts, represents a clear and present danger to the national security of the United States. Of course, I'll stipulate that this is all predicated on Tik Tok actually fitting that description. I will agree with you that simply being from an adversarial country shouldn't be an automatic disqualifies to operate in the United States. That is what I'm trying to argue. It has to be more than banning Tik Tok because they host videos where idiot kids encourage other idiot kids to eat Tide Pods, I'm not down with that. Sure. But Tik Tok isn't a mechanism, It's a brand. Electronic Media is the mechanism. That is and should be protected.- The Supremes
This isn't a free speech issue. It's a national security issue, which has been an established exception to the 1st amendment for a very long time. Plus, the ban is happening at the provider level, not consumer. My guess is that if you're hellbent on still using TikTok (instead of the dozen other apps that do the same damn thing), so'll have no problem doing so via VPN. Even so, how does the 1st amendment guarantee the speech delivery mechanism of your choice.- Severance (Apple TV)
I think you're missing something big. I actually thought that they made it too obvious (which probably means I'm wrong). This is just my opinion, but I'm pretty sure I'm right, so don't click on this unless you're willing to (possibly) rob yourself of what will be a big reveal.- Severance (Apple TV)
This season is going to be a mind fuck. I'm confused, but I think we're supposed to be.- Advice for non musical parent
I echo what everyone is saying. I played an instrument through college and my wife was an accomplished pianist who taught privately for years, so we've been in a different position than you. Even so, private lessons for my daughter (violin), were super important and helpful. Newsflash- kids don't like to learn from their parents. My son wasn't quite as interested, so school class was sufficient. If she's in a school program, and you end up getting private lessons, I wouldn't worry about addressing theory separately. That'll come. Beyond that, I encourage you (well everyone), to have multiple instruments in the house- accessible and even on display if possible. They don't need to be high end, and you shouldn't attach any expectations to them- just have them there. The musically curious will gravitate to them. For us that meant guitars, ukuleles, trombone, keyboard, violin, and some percussive instruments. Now deeper in high school, my kids have each shifted to the choir from their primary instruments, but it's not unusual at all to hear a guitar being played in a room by my daughter, or seeing my son banging keys figuring out a popular song.- Trump’s America
Don't call me a child!!!!!11111 Not clutching pearls, not losing sleep, and I said nothing of the tone, just context. The tone was brilliant. The Trans, trans, trans shot was brilliant. She could have called her "the gentlewoman from South Carolina" while dripping just as much contempt in her para-language as she did saying child. Jared Moskowitz is a master at playing dirty while looking nice. Jesus, I posted the damn clip to make fun of Nancy, with the tiniest of qualifiers regarding Crockett. Focus.- Severance (Apple TV)
The innie will remember what happened when they were transported to the real world, but nothing more about it. The outie, as Ted said, will not remember anything that transpired while the innie was there. We see all of this when Dylan was sent to overtime. When he was pulled back he remembers what happened in the closet, but his outie had to ask if Milchick got what he wanted. - Non-Texas weather. The all-encompassing thread
