Reminder that when AP math teacher Jaime Escalante showed an ability to actually reliably teach math to his students, as depicted by Edward James Olmos in “Stand And Deliver”, his colleagues and his union drummed him out of his school and the profession for making them look bad
A car flew last night. An actual car, flipping in midair on cold gas thrusters and landing on its wheels. Elon Musk's companies built a sports car that does what science fiction promised for a century. The same man lands rockets on barges and builds the machines that carry our astronauts. That is what one free mind, and the thousands of minds he employs, can produce.
Bernie Sanders says billionaires should not exist. He looks at the man who makes cars fly and concludes the problem to solve is that such men keep too much of what they create. He has spent five decades in government producing nothing, yet he claims the moral authority to dispose of the men who produce everything. A man who seeks unearned control over the lives and property of others is corrupt in the fullest meaning of the word, and that corruption runs deeper than any bribe.
A flying car is what men do when they are free. A wealth tax is what politicians do to the men who built it. One of them needs the other to survive, and it isn't Musk.
Not sure if this is ragebait or you just really dont understand what is going on here.
So allow me to Man-splain this to you.
We have no issue with women wearing revealing workout clothing.
In fact, god-bless you for it, without that, we would be staring at sweaty guys instead of your labia.
The issue is, you want to go to the gym with your labia hanging out, then make a TikTok video all pissed that men are looking at your labia, then demand that man be canceled.
So go to the gym, work out half naked and shut the fuck up when you get the male attention you clearly want.
Hope this helps

We were building our Church so we prayed in a hall.
We were praying a Holy Hour with adoration in honor of The Sacred Heart of Jesus.
We began the adoration & a little boy in the front row kept sliding closer & closer to the altar.
I leaned over & asked him if he would help me pray and he said yes.
Let’s all slide closer to Jesus today.

It shouldn't come as a surprise that one of the biggest arseholes in music, a man who has managed to alienate even his own former bandmates, has now chimed in on Metallica frontman James Hetfield's recent comments about wanting fans to attend concerts as a form of escape, rather than being lectured on what to think.
Roger Waters appeared on The Katie Halper Show, where he had the following to say about James, rather predictably:
“He’s just showing that he’s a complete prick.”
“He’s got an IQ of about three, and why we’re talking about him, I don’t even know, because he’s a nobody. He may have a few hundred million dollars or whatever, but he’s a prick.”
Ironically, it's Waters himself who comes across as incredibly childish and petulant. The sheer arrogance of calling James Hetfield, one of the most influential figures in the history of heavy metal, a "nobody" is quite something.
And let's not forget, it wasn't that long ago that Waters was badmouthing Ozzy Osbourne shortly after his death.
This is also a man who has defended Hamas as a resistance movement, repeatedly defended Russia and China, and portrays the United States as one of the greatest sources of evil in the world.
All while choosing to live in... you guessed it... the United States.
Some of you are so obsessed with making DONALD TRUMP lose that you’re not even paying attention to who you’re helping WIN.
You think you’re punishing Trump, meanwhile you could be punishing YOURSELF for the next 4, 8, 12 years.
Trump is temporary.The people WE elect, the policies they put in place, the damage they can do to your city, your state, your neighborhood, THAT SH*T can last for generations.
You wanna hate Trump? HATE TRUMP. Knock yourself out. LFG,
But don’t get so caught up in your hatred for one man that you hand over your future to somebody you haven’t even bothered to look into.
These politicians ain’t moving into YOUR neighborhood. YOU LIVE THERE.
Your taxes.Your streets.Your schools.Your safety.YOUR LIFE.
When you walk into that voting booth, Trump ain’t standing there with you.
THINK FOR YOURSELF.
You’re voting for YOUR FUTURE, not your favorite enemy.
