i’m so mad at fifa for banning tailgates at the world cup. these euro tourists would’ve lovedddd getting free hotdogs and beers shoved into their hands by an overweight dad named bob
This entire account is great and really sums up this massive country pretty nicely.
Waffle House at 1 AM, thunderstorms, tubing, random mountain towns, absurd fast food menus, driving for hours
I think a lot of people visit expecting a consistent thing called "America" but instead get a giant collection of weird experiences connected by highways.
We don't do it enough ourselves.
Joe Rogan can no longer hide how he really feels anymore after exposing to financial expert Caleb Hammer that Bernie Sanders is a total hypocrite:
ROGAN: “Bernie Sanders used to rally against millionaires, but now he’s a millionaire so he started moving the goalposts to billionaires being the problem. It’s adorable.”
HAMMER: “Even Gavin Newsom is starting to change his tune on the billionaire tax.”
ROGAN: “Yeah because all the billionaires are leaving his state. All he cares about is his personal gain. He doesn’t give any real answers to questions.”
HAMMER: “That’s true.”
ROGAN: “There’s a giant number of college kids now that think communism is the solution. They genuinely believe in it. It’s very scary.”
HAMMER: “They’re retarded. Communism has never worked anywhere ever.”
ROGAN: “These teachers and professors don’t live in the real world. They’ve never had their own business. They are brainwashing kids with ideas and concepts that don’t work at all in real life.”
i'm not kidding, the US travel/tourism board (whatever that is at a Federal level lol) should sponsor the rest of that German guy's trip through the US, dude is doing insanely good PR for the South

This American needs to lead the Department of Education
“This is my audition to become the head of the US Department of Education
- My first act of office will be immediately abolishing the No Child Left Behind Act. Yes, we will be leaving children behind. If they fail a class, they will have to repeat it
- My second act is one that I'm very passionate about. We will be bringing zeros back. If you don't know, in many schools in the US right now, students receive 40% or 50% if they do zero work, if they do not complete an assignment. And my school included, and many other schools, are not going to be allowed to give a student a 50% if they do not turn in any work. They will have to receive a zero.
Likewise, there will be no completion grades, If you just attempt an assignment, that doesn't mean you get a 55%. Like, if you get a 1 out of 10, you earned a 10% on that assignment, and that's okay. Sometimes failing happens, and we don't need to just inflate the grades just for fun. Grades will reflect students' actual performance and understanding of the content
- The third one I'm very excited for as well. Teacher evaluations will take place once a year and teachers will be observed by another current teacher from a different school. Teachers would volunteer to be evaluators. They would get a sub for the day, no questions asked, and then they would evaluate objectively. That way the person evaluating you does not know you and does not have any personal bias towards you. Hopefully.
- The fourth one, I think this should be common sense, but I hear that it happens all the time at some schools. Never at mine. But teachers shouldn't be expected to work for free. I hear elementary teachers are doing these before and after work things that they aren't getting paid for, like lunch duty or recess duty or pickup duty, whatever it is. The school needs those things covered.
People can volunteer for it, and then they have to get paid for it. They can't force you to cover other people's classes for free. They have to pay you extra if they're gonna take away your lunch or your prep or whatever time that is supposed to be yours and then force you to do something without getting paid. There will be no more voluntelling.
Hire this woman. The most important thing we need to do is hold students back and force them to learn the work. No more dumbing down out standards
One of THE WIRE’s cruelest truths is that everyone spends 5 seasons fighting the system & the system barely notices. The faces change, the titles change. The machine just keeps humming along.
“Got to. This America, man.”
