@AlHamnik Complex answer, but the community is a lot different now than in the 80s and 90s.

I think anyone who watched him on the Shawn Ryan podcast knew what Hunter was capable of. Great stuff.

Hunter Biden coming out as an eloquent, charismatic, and brutally honest shitposter was not on my June 2026 bingo card.

Congrats on a hall of fame NFL career 👏

Hire a young guy who will put his heart and soul into the program. You have a great AD you can learn from, a good feeder system with the Highland PW Titans, good elementary support, and some good coaches in the lower levels. There are some pieces there.

[Brett Jennings @BJenningsEdTech]

As has been well-documented, this is a tough job for a multitude of reasons. But it’s a good job for a young head coach for a multitude of reasons. They’ll be some retreads who will apply, I wouldn’t give them an interview. 1/

BREAKING: Ben Geffert Resigns as Highland Head Football Coach

HIGHLAND, Ind. — Heartland Sports Network has learned that Ben Geffert has resigned as head football coach at Highland High School, ending a two-year tenure leading the Trojans football program.

Geffert was hired by Highland prior to the 2024 season after previously serving as head coach at Griffith, where he compiled a 30-16 record from 2015-18 and helped guide the Panthers to a Northwest Crossroads Conference championship during the program's final season in the league.

A Griffith graduate and former Indiana State University offensive lineman, Geffert built a reputation as one of Northwest Indiana's respected football coaches before returning to the NCC as Highland's head coach. Prior to his head coaching career, he served as an assistant coach at both Highland and Munster and later worked on the coaching staff at Calumet College of St. Joseph.

Heartland Sports Network will continue to follow this developing story and provide updates as they become available.

Hammond mayor Thomas McDermott called the Chicago Tribune's extensive report on environmental concerns ("slag heap") of the proposed stadium site a "hit piece."

"They're afraid that Hammond is a legitimate threat," McDermott says.

"The land is clean."

Keep throwing the rhetoric around, Senator. Politicians in Illinois are so tone deaf it’s amazing. Meanwhile numerous cooperations enjoy massive tax breaks and subsidies. The one thing that unifies the state apparently hasn’t greased the politicians enough.

.@SenCunningham: "There's nothing stopping the Bears from breaking ground in Arlington Heights tomorrow and building a stadium.

"The problem is they don't want to do that unless they get a massive tax break from Illinois. So they've introduced the political complication."

Don’t be this guy…

It’s a song about Virginia, but do not let that ruin the moment.

I'm begging y'all to stop these kind of tweets. They just make the public hate us!

Lots of jobs have people working through lunch and taking few breaks because of the workload. They don't get two months off either!

[Brian Tolentino M.Ed @TolentinoTeach]

Much of professional development in education is built on the illusion that teaching is more complicated than it truly is.

Instead of simply asking students to read, write, think, and discuss, we bury ourselves in jargon, acronyms, data charts, and endless protocols.

Not to mention, an informal discussion on how we’re all teaching CS, the great things we’re doing and what we want to do better.

I still have a lot to learn and this is a great opportunity for me to do that.

[Brett Jennings @BJenningsEdTech]

Pretty excited to announce I’ll be presenting at the South Shore Summer of Learning Conference.

My presentation is called Plan. Teach. Assess. A No-frills Approach to Teaching Computer Science.

Hope to see you on Friday, June 12 at 1PM at PNW SULB Room 214.

[Brett Jennings @BJenningsEdTech]

I’ll be introducing a simple framework for planning, teaching and assessing in a CS classroom. Teachers will take home practical strategies for differentiation and how we can use A.I. to support us.

Today, I proclaimed June as Nuclear Family Month in Indiana.

As a father of four and grandfather of seven, I have seen firsthand the impact that loving, committed families can have across multiple generations. As we approach America’s 250th anniversary, this proclamation recognizes the important role families play in shaping the future of our state and our country.

Indiana will continue supporting policies that strengthen families and help the next generation thrive.

Not only are we playing for our own subpar healthcare, we’re helping to subsidize each others as well. The elites convinced us that universal healthcare is a socialist idea & will lead to the downfall of the country, so we’re out here like assholes paying for each other. 👌

The house centipede in your bathroom is the reason you don't have cockroaches.

That fast, leggy, kinda creepy looking thing you just saw scurry under the door is a Scutigera coleoptrata. It eats silverfish, cockroaches, spiders, ants, termites, and bed bug nymphs. The University of Georgia Extension calls house centipedes "allies in home pest control."

One house centipede can eat its body weight in pests every few days, hunting at night while you sleep. They don't damage your house, don't eat your food, don't carry disease, and don't bite unless you grab one.

Best of all: they're self limiting. When they run out of pests, they begin to hunt each other.

If you kill the centipedes, the pests they were eating multiply. Homes that exterminate house centipedes typically see cockroach, silverfish, and spider populations rise.

The bug that looks like a horror movie prop is doing the work of an exterminator for free. The bug it eats is the one that would actually wreck your stuff.
