Typical snowflake. Can’t stand to see something that makes her slightly uncomfortable. Psh.

Spotted a woman inside Trader Joe’s wearing a mask.

Stepped outside to load my groceries and there she was, mask on in 100° weather with nobody else around.

At this point, it has to be a mental illness, would you agree?

Man, people will just make up all kinds of shit for attention on Elon’s Twitter. This obviously did not happen the way it’s been conveyed.

School suspends a 5-year-old for fighting.

Dad gets called in. Expecting him to apologize, punish his son, and play the good little parent.

Instead the dad listens to his son:

“This kid was picking on me at recess. I asked him to stop. He didn’t.”

Then the dad turns to the principal and says what every father in America has been thinking:

“So you don’t even know what the bully was doing to my kid… but you’re suspending MY son for ending it?”

He looks at the bully kid and says:

“You gonna think twice before you bully my son again.”

Then he turns to his boy, gives him knuckles right there in the office in front of the principal, assistant principal, counselor, and nurse:

“Son, I’m proud of you. You ain’t suspended. You got a three-day vacation. It’s hunting season. Let’s go.”

Zero tolerance policies are a joke.

They only tolerate one thing: kids who won’t defend themselves.

This dad just reminded every weak administrator in America what real parenting looks like.

Raise men. Not victims.

I wish the algorithm would understand that I want to know everything I can about a certain subject for about 2 hours, and then I don't want to know anything else about it for at least a few days.

@Suffragent_ @amandaknox Bro…do you think this kind of comment makes you look…good? Call your mother and repent. She’s not proud of you right now.

Besides being annoying, this take is wrong bc art is not meant to have the effect of a nuclear bomb. Making political art is more like planting seeds and then watching what grows. A very inconvenient process if you’re accustomed to immediate results.

buddy, I was writing 10 page papers without having read the book.

Oh sorry, your phone can’t handle this update. Now it’s useless. Go get the newest phone. Here’s a text from a friend, an email, a voice mail they left three days ago but you didn’t see until now because of sync problems with the cloud. It’s their GoFundMe. Their MLM. Their Patreon. Never mind, you didn’t respond to their text within 9 minutes and now you’re no longer friends. They blocked you. Make new friends. Download this app to find people in your area.

Why don’t you like AI, it lets us make all of this easier? Do you know how ridiculous that sounds? This is progress. You’ll be left behind. Do you want to be left behind? Do you???

@mtracey @Acosta I say this with the utmost sincerity: grow up. Please, please grow up. The world will be a better place when you decide to grow up.

@ronrule Nope, that's not how a functional society works. If my house has never burned down, should I be exempt from taxes that pay for the fire department? Of course not.

@JimJarmuschHair How well do you tip? I know no one wants to think about in those terms, but that's the rub.

[david @davidwlipe]

@TheAliceSmith Also, not to be mean, but you sound like the last parent on earth I would want to interact with. Take a breath, my goodness.

[david @davidwlipe]

@TheAliceSmith 1) A kid may need some time to learn certain things. 2) It’s good for a parent to be involved in their child’s development. 3) Teachers are given a directive, and that requires certain traceable benchmarks.

If you’re mad about homework, take it up with the principal or board.
