I have an impressive collection of orphaned socks... I like to build stuff. Opinions are on a 2hr time delay.

Nuclear power is the safest energy source ever built.
The fear of it has cost more lives than the technology ever has.

Deaths per terawatt-hour of energy produced:

Coal: 24.6
Oil: 18.4
Gas: 2.8
Hydro: 1.3
Wind: 0.04
Nuclear: 0.03

Nuclear is safer than wind.
Safer than solar (rooftop installation deaths).
60x safer than natural gas.

Chernobyl killed 31 people directly.
The WHO estimates fewer than 4,000 long-term deaths, in the absolute worst nuclear accident in history.

Meanwhile, air pollution from coal kills 800,000 people every year.

Please arrive at your appointment 15 minutes early so you can fill out the same forms you filled out online and then be asked the same questions when the doctor actually sees you.

Unpopular opinion: Schools are dealing with the consequences of failed parenting.

@CoachAllen1965 @Royals May I recommend a river boat cruise? Maybe a little more entertaining… 🤭

Trade programs are not for kids who cannot handle academics. They are for kids who are smart enough to know what they want.

At this point, Americans are no longer taxpayers.

We are fraud victims.

And we want our money back.

Gen X was the last generation to receive an education that was pro-America. We visited Gettysburg in 7th grade. We can tell you about specific battles in the American Revolution and Civil War. We said the Pledge every morning.
Bring it back.

Rose Blumpkin came to America from Russia, started Nebraska Furniture Mart and became one of Omaha’s biggest icons.

And yes, people used to negotiate prices directly with her inside the store.

Mrs. B helped build one of Omaha’s most iconic businesses and worked into her 100s.

This is what Memorial Day is about, This is also why We don’t tolerate People Burning our Flag!

A giant mesh stocking of random junk was a staple of the middle class 70s childhood Christmas. Those who were there will confirm.

@FixingEducation I downloaded a countdown timer app that was on my phone screen…

205 years ago today, three brave Americans defeated El Guapo at the Battle of Santa Poco to give Mexico its independence.

Happy Cinco de Mayo to all who celebrate.

@Ranting95 @FixingEducation This is the dumbest take I’ve ever heard. I award you no points, may god have mercy on your soul

May the fourth be with you

[Justin Baeder, PhD @eduleadership]

Yes, we should be teaching the same thing to everyone at the same time. That’s called standards and curriculum. We should not be promising to meet individualized needs in a classroom with 25 or 30 students and one teacher.

Nebraska was must-watch tv in the ‘90s🌽

[𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐝 𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐧 @DrBradJohnson]

There should be a teacher on every school board…
and at every table where education decisions are made.
Because right now, we’re making policies for classrooms
without the people who actually live in them.
You wouldn’t design a hospital system without doctors.
You wouldn’t build a plane without pilots.
But in education…
we leave teachers out of the room

[Red Pilled Teacher @BasedRedWolf]

I am so tired of budget emails that say we are cutting teachers when central office is flush with staff. Let’s re-establish basic priorities of public education.
