@BirdWatcher504@espnSteveLevy It's how my school operated. Honestly don't know if they still do, but this was late 90s. I'm sure some schools are different. What I don't understand is why people think I would lie about it. What's the point?
@DouggWilson@espnSteveLevy You can buy it or not, no skin off my back. My school had only two. My parents weren't happy but also didn't want to force me to drop one of those classes.
@UsaBayern@espnSteveLevy Lunch periods were 4 and 5. Band was period 4. Calculus was 2 and 4.Physics was 2 and 5. Unless I dropped calculus, physics, or band, there was no lunch.
@Cptcaos211@espnSteveLevy Because I didn't want to drop one of the classes that I would have. Lunch periods were 4 and 5. Band was period 4. Calculus was 2 and 4.Physics was 2 and 5. Unless I dropped calculus, physics, or band, there was no lunch.
@20kdj01@espnSteveLevy Lunch periods were 4 and 5. Band was period 4. Calculus was 2 and 4.Physics was 2 and 5. Unless I dropped calculus, physics, or band, there was no lunch.
@DouggWilson@espnSteveLevy It literally did. Lunch periods were 4 and 5. Band was period 4. Calculus was 2 and 4.Physics was 2 and 5. Unless I dropped calculus, physics, or band, there was no lunch.
@mygem0506@espnSteveLevy None of my teachers allowed us to eat in class (including in this circumstance). I even had study hall, in the cafeteria, at 1:30. No food in study hall.
Y'all remember that feeling in your stomach you got when you saw the second plane fly in from off screen and hit the 2nd tower...
And you immediately realized something really bad was happening?
You should have that same feeling right about now!!
So when a man who identifies as a woman doesn’t want to be assaulted by males in the men’s room it’s considered stunning and brave.
But when a woman doesn’t want to be assaulted by males in the women’s room it’s considered hateful..?
Make it make sense.
What actually happened in the last 3 POTUS elections…
2016: Trump won in a landslide and they were shocked.
2020: Trump won in a landslide and they stole it.
2024: Trump won in a landslide and they couldn’t stop it.
Facts.
Yes.
I am utterly and totally sick of this shit.
This is not normal behaviour.
Our society is not functioning properly.
I am utterly and totally sick of men like Scott Herbert wearing womanhood like a costume and dragging us all into their sordid sexual fantasies.
Men should NOT be allowed to "dress how they please" in public, because unless they're hermits, or living on a dessert island, the corollary to that incredibly facile statement is that everyone else has to flipping SEE them.
Would this man dare to stand up on that stage in an Afro wig and dark makeup and pretend to be Black?
Not a flipping chance.
So, why are we women expected to put up with this degrading and insulting behaviour from mentally ill blokes like this?
And just look at his smug grin.
He knows he's untouchable.
I, for one, have bloody had enough of deranged transvestites treating the whole world, and us women in particular like background characters in their bizarre fantasy world of being 'trans'.
There is a particular stench to the current moment…the sweet rot of lies dressed as revelation and the digital coliseum where the crowd cheers every new hidden hand.
People do not merely believe conspiracy theories. They need them.
They need the secret architecture that turns their powerlessness into secret knowledge and their ordinary failures into proof that the game was rigged against them by someone far more powerful and far more evil than the mundane machinery of history and human frailty.
They feel superior to everyone when they look stupid as fuck to the intelligent people who know better.
That is the wound and the drug at once.
The forensic lens does not flinch from this.
It names it.
It traces the neurological hijack…the narcissistic supply…the philosophical cowardice that prefers the grand lie to the harder sovereignty of evidence and ambiguity.
What follows is not another theory about theories. It is the scalpel applied to the living specimen.
The Candace Owens cult…with its baroque webs of antisemitic control narratives…its moon-landing denial…its tunnel conspiracies around political assassinations…and its leader’s grandiosity feeding on the adulation of the newly enlightened…serves as the perfect clinical blueprint.
Not because it is unique.
Because it is textbook. Because it reveals in high definition the exact pathology that turns frightened and arrogant minds into armies of the deluded.
Read it with the same rigor you would bring to any other autopsy.
The body on the table is cultural. The cause of death is the refusal to sit with uncertainty. The weapon was the conviction that feeling superior to the sheep was the same thing as being right.
The piece below does the cutting.
I did not write it to comfort.
I wrote it because the blood is already in the streets and more is coming if we keep choosing the lie that flatters us over the truth that demands we grow the fuck up.
