@LaurelGreen WHY do kids have that much cash?

Pot. Or whatever is au courant.

Okay that's a whole different kind of boundary pushing. I wish there was a layer between you and LE to handle that stuff.

Fighting over a boy is dumb. Have they met boys? (disclaimer: <- a boy)

@LaurelGreen as a former(?) hellraiser I...get it. I get it now. I mostly didn't mean for my teachers to be on the sharp end, just the pointy haired admins.

So, what do you think about a father who refuses to pay tuition for his two sons in college who voted for Trump? Says he is teaching them a lesson. What say ye?

@nursefrombirth That will get their attention but not teach them anything. I would follow with Knowledge. If they drop out there's better than 50% odds the blue collar jobs they get will tend to reinforce their populist tendencies.

@EllyOnTheGo long plane trip coming up. I do drive a bit but can't watch videos because...driving. I also can't really attend to podcasts when I'm driving, just music. Wish I could listen to audio books.

Ambassador Zaluzhnui* (center back) in the UK Parliament encounters a group of Ukrainian kids. Hard to explain how this gives me hope.
"Suddenly, in front of my eyes appeared a large group of children in embroidered jackets, who were attentively listening to the story of a member of the British Parliament. I slowed down and quietly approached them. These are our children!!! Today there were special guests here with Ukraine in their little hearts"

@peterquirk Fun fact: Elsevier is an _old_ company. I've touched books published by the Elzevir[sic] family in the 1600s. Their profit margin makes Exxon turn green. Shed no tears for Elsevier, I would suggest. And maybe question their motives. If you'd like.
