LOL - perfect

Background: Turkey sent a 51-year-old guy with no specialized lenses, eye cover, or ear protection and got the silver medal in the 10-meter air pistol with a comfortable shot with hand in pocket. One wonders ...

#help Does anyone know of a good source of information on how to replace the operating system on a Lenovo Chromebook Duet, model ct-x636f?

I'm not good at this stuff any more.

I just don't want google anything running on my devices any more.

GalliumOS doesn't support it, and I don't think it's even updated any more.

2 died of Ebola: They said Obama should resign.

4 died in Benghazi: They had Hillary testify for 11 hours, held 33 hearings, and launched a 4-year probe.

881,776 Covid deaths, an armed insurrection & theft of classified documents: They cheered, and want Trump as dictator.

Well, yes. Yes there is.

The eligible voters who despise the guy - and who make up the vast, vast majority - could simply vote for whoever his opponent is 🤷‍♂️

Daily reminder that even newspapers that do excellent *NEWS* journalism have idiotic editorials. Just don't read anything with 'Opinion' on it, and things will be better.

this was on T-shirts

kids wore them in school.

I mean, I took a lot of work - establishing trust, patterns of learning that worked for both the pupil and teachers, now it's just sort of up in the air.

And personally, I think the things that worked for me were because of my non-formal-education background, which is kinda rare (most teaching assistant staff are there because it's part of the career route to being a teacher, so there's limited experience in other educational backgrounds)

Most of the London schools are breaking up for the summer holidays between today and Tuesday. I work via an agency as a teaching assistant in a primary school, today was my last contracted day.

Very emotional time. It's hard to say goodbye to kids you've worked closely with for so long, while knowing you're probably never going to see them again. It's hard to trust that whoever is going to replace you will be better at the job than you are, especially if they're coming in cold.

If you haven't watched the recording of AOC's IG Live chat last night, you *neeeeeeeeeed* to.

It's an hour-long clinical dissection of the current (melo-)drama around Biden and the candidacy. No-nonsense, no bullshit, 100% meat and 0% malarkey.

I would tl;dr it for you but I respect your intelligence to form your own opinion based on the questions AOC is asking of us (yes, she's asking us to think, not telling us what to think).

The billionaire who's been bribing Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito donated a $10 million bribe to Senate Republicans to block Supreme Court reforms and investigations.

Everyone understands these are bribes.
Normalize calling them bribes.

"Well, you can certainly tell who the folks are that are skimping on security and resilience by not using us because they are the ones who are still operational."

Crowdstrike. Probably.
