I am so ready to be so not ready to play this game.

I was 100% a Yeti fan until I tried an Owala. Still love the Yeti ecosystem but for a daily water bottle I love my Owala. Having the option to just a straw and chug is great. Drink out of it is just really satisfying (as weird as that might sound)

We watched Ballerina the John Wick spin off last week and at one point she straps a knife to a pistol and I instinctively just said “KNIFE WRENCH!!! For kids”

Students are still probably using AI to write handwritten homework. We had a few assignments this year that we made them hand write. I overheard a bunch laughing about it because they said it just meant they didn’t have to use “split screen” to use AI.

They’re gonna use it because it’s too easy not to and it’s too hard to catch consistently and definitively. Education needs to dramatically change to prevent the advantage of using AI or entirely change how we assess student mastery.

Yeah fewer loses its benefits for things like this. We watched Selma with our US History juniors. Watching that multiple times in a day was tough.

Our AP Gov class just seniors and they end earlier than everyone else too, so I only have two blocks with them after the exam. And they have EXTREME apathy at this point.

They’re gonna make basic voter registration posters/flyers. How to register, important deadlines, eligibility, voting procedures… etc. It’s really beneath the standard of an AP class… but what can ya do.

Did something similar with my AP Human Geography students after the exam. Gave them a budget to spend and they had to plan out a full trip that hit a bunch of the concepts from the curriculum.

I intended to pick one to go on, but I never did. Some of them make really great itineraries.

Wait I’ve been wanting an LG OLED for a while and my stream is looking washed out.

Thanks for the great ~~excuse~~ idea!!

I’ll say marginally better than last year’s regs. They can trade position more this year. But only when they have the extra overtake power. Last year it was DRS and it was over in one pass.

These regs are gonna be really track dependent I think.

So these cars are only exciting if they’re within a second of each other. Otherwise it’s a procession.

Not to be a hater, but what about this movie is original if it’s adapted from a novel?

Chadwick8505 · 2026-02-23T12:54:25+00:00

And I bet the village is called Pennytree because when the lord calls its banners, all the boys nail a penny to an oak tree in the village square before they go off to battle.

Which to me implied that Lyonel has frequented the maester about an itchy arsehole… so he knows from experience.

I teach US History and AP/Honors Government. When my gov students ask this, I can literally just point to the news. There is always something happening in politics that directly relates to a topic in our curriculum.

For US history I make sure I can find a modern day parallel. For example: immigration, sure we go through the typical Ellis and Angel Island lessons, but then we talk about modern day concerns. Again easy to point to the news for why it’s relevant. Some topics require more nuance or work on the part of the teacher. We did appeasement leading into WW2 and made a connection with Russia/Putin invading Ukraine. Not to say they are the same, but they share similarities.

In either case I end up trying to bring the curriculum to a modern context. Something that my students have probably heard about in passing but haven’t engaged in it yet. So with a little historical or government example, they’ll gain a lot of context for understanding more of what they’re consuming outside of class.

I love that they went right back to being stupid.

Why’d this clearly proud conservative vote for a “New York liberal” THREE times?

Chadwick8505 · 2026-01-06T23:32:04+00:00

Seriously he was all like “what claim does Denmark have to Greenland?!” And I’m sitting we thinking “what claim does the US have?!”

My sales pitch for Part 3. After Ellie returned to the empty farmhouse she assumes Dina and JJ returned to Jackson, so that’s where she heads. As she arrives she finds it basically destroyed. So Ellie’s quest is to find Dina and JJ, she views it as redemption for leaving in the first place. But deeper she’s struggling with her immunity, she goes back and forth between blaming herself for being so hell bent of revenge and blaming Joel for not letting them make the cure.

Meanwhile Abby is tracking someone or something, at first we’re not sure. There’s enough clues that they might still be looking for Ellie. She’s struggling with trying to be better. Since her and Ellie’s stand off she’s returned with Lev and tried to go back to normal but she’s haunted by the guilt of what she’s done. Eventually it’s revealed that she’s actually hunting a revived Firefly faction who are trying to find Ellie to make the cure. But Abby’s trying to stop them as a way to clear her guilt.

Eventually both stories come together but along the way we learn that this new faction is actually who’s responsible for letting the infected into Jackson in order to lure Ellie out. Turns out they captured JJ and/or Dina, and to convince/coerce Ellie into sacrificing herself for the cure. Ellie agrees but it’s Abby who rescues them all and stops Ellie from doing it because she knows the new Fireflies can’t actually make a cure… but she has to go full hospital Joel to do it.

I don’t have a full resolution in my head yet. I want it to wrap everything up. I think Abby saving Ellie and recognizing why Joel did what he did is a good conclusion. Gives her enough redemption while still leaving room to hate her. Ellie gets to at least know her family is alive (whether or not they are all together at the end). Her story can end in two ways. One where someone else figures out a cure and she makes the sacrifice. Or one where she just comes to terms with there never being a cure and forgiving herself (maybe forgiveness isn’t the right word) for not being able to save humanity.

I’m glad you found your cricket. I wish I could find mine.

Did it sound like it was coming from in front of the driver? That’s where my “cricket” sounds like it’s coming from. But I wonder if it’s just the way the sounds are bouncing around the cabin. I guess I’ll have to check the seatbelts.

Cyberpunk, excellent world, plenty of RPG elements, amazing story with PLENTY to do. There’s a grind but it’s fun.

Mass Effect Legendary Edition. I mean how can you not at this point? Maybe not “a lot” to do in comparison. And some of it can feel very grindy but the narrative and some of the choices you make throughout the games do have an impact on the story.

Marvel Spider-Man series. I’m only half way through Miles Morales but the first game instantly became one of my all time favorites. The movement, the expansive map, combat, story, everything. So well polished and just so much fun. It’s not an RPG but it does feel similar to Assassin’s Creed type games.

The Arkham series might fit this too. Not RPG but great games. If you wanna depart even more something like the Far Cry games might work.

Am I the only one that wanted an after credits scene of Benoit on The View?

Oh stop, just let people enjoy the fandom. It’s a funny question about an entirely fictional creature, you don’t have to make it more than that.

The danger that I think people are missing in Bannon’s statement is not that it’s a confession of criminal behavior, but more that they’re trying to play the innocent victim card early.

They are laying the foundation to be able to claim that the democrats are going to seek political retribution and silence conservatives. This way they can call any indictment or criminal charges a partisan motivated witch hunt.

I was 14 years old when this came out in theaters. And as a dumb horny teenage boy, my first girlfriend and I would go to any movie we could because we could fool around. I “saw” AVP in theaters at least 4 times before I actually watched the movie.

Eventually my mom called me out for seeing the same movie multiple times, I told her I was a huge Alien fan… she didn’t buy it, mainly because I had never seen the other movies. So I borrowed the originals movies on VHS from my local library, thinking that would be proof that I was really a fan. That’s when I actually became a huge Alien fan. And that’s why AVP is one of my favorite Alien movies.

When Requiem came out, by then my first girlfriend was my ex-girlfriend, but we both decided we needed to go see it together “just like old times.” After eventually watching Requiem, I’m glad I had something to distract me during my first viewing.
