Everything I've ever tried to tell students re:new tech in #WWI. RT@historyinpics @TheWWImuseum #ww1 #teachinghistory

...and just like that the #StateOfTheUnion turned into Prime Minister's Questions #PMQs

TIL That the dance is the "griddy," not the "gritty," and has nothing to do with the bizarre mascot from the @NHLFlyers . Moderately disappointed tbh.

@GrumpyOldLady16 @CajunMSTeacher Way the hell harder job than ANY teacher

[Erick Harper @ObiWanHarp]

@GrumpyOldLady16 @CajunMSTeacher We've got one counselor for 6-12. She does all class registration, builds the schedule. All the college/post HS advising. All other counseling issues, emotional/mental health, student drama, on and on. Doubt she's ever seen the coffee maker. No way she has time to cover classes.

@sw_holocron She deserved better from everyone involved from the writers to the fans.

@NathanCoulter @twbrewingco That's @BrauBeer

[Erick Harper @ObiWanHarp]

@NathanCoulter LOL at everyone in this thread saying "try some of the new sours" - yes, let's take everything bad about IPAs and double down. Brau Brothers in Marshall and @twbrewingco in Montevideo make some great stouts, lagers, and pilsners.

[Erick Harper @ObiWanHarp]

@NathanCoulter One of the best in MN is @twbrewingco - yes, they make a lot of IPAs but some really good other stuff - their Reality Czech pilsner and Manana Mexican lager are great. So is their Mikko cream stout.

[Erick Harper @ObiWanHarp]

@jgumbel Homefront! Oh my, I'd forgotten that one, but now that you had to go and remind me, it stings all over again.

[Erick Harper @ObiWanHarp]

@StarTribune Since my sophomores are studying historical Islam, and we just talked about the Mohammed image taboo yesterday, darn right we talked about this debacle today AND I showed the pictures.

[Erick Harper @ObiWanHarp]

@JoeSwartzNC As a follow up, we had a good discussion about the whole situation, and I showed the pictures in class.

[Erick Harper @ObiWanHarp]

@JoeSwartzNC Holy smokes. I was just talking about the ban on images of Muhammad in class yesterday. Guess I know what I'm talking about today!

[Midwest vs. The Rest @midwestern_ope]

Trying to explain where you’re from in the Midwest if you aren’t from Chicago or Minneapolis

@TRHLofficial I use this clip on the first day of school every year. The meme is wrong - Jane Meadows guessed it correctly.

[Erick Harper @ObiWanHarp]

@Eric_Die_Spinne @ConservaMuse @AviWoolf Except that's not true - Jane Meadows guessed it correctly.

[Erick Harper @ObiWanHarp]

@ConservaMuse I use this clip on the first day of school every year in my US History classes to illustrate how short US History really is. Btw the meme is wrong - Jane Meadows guessed correctly.

@Connor_779 I like these unis but really they should fix the name and logo first. Love this team but Wild has always been one of the worst branding decisions in the history of sports.

I don't like this tell-all book nonsense. Prince Harry should solve his dispute with his brother the old-fashioned way: retreating to his feudal domain of Sussex and raising an army to contest the throne.
