Some Americans used to really not like the Irish.
Some Americans will always dislike some race or ethnicity.
That's not part of being American. That's just part of being bigoted.
Just making a point.
Is it diabolical that I left all the lecture notes on the course for students to use for their exam but didn't announce that part? They weren't hidden. At all. And yet...
Looks like I upset the threads manosphere by calling the Sweeney commercial disgusting. Oh no. Men are calling me names. Whatever shall I do?
Not care? Yeah. I'll do that.
Dolly Parton was the best of us.
She was an American treasure — a rare embodiment of talent, kindness, and generosity in equal measure.
We’ll always love you, Dolly.
The utter hypocrisy of 45 honoring Dolly and her legacy. She'd prefer if you put your money where your mouth is and fix the world, not destroy it, but sure. Flags.
Look, Canada. They are not us. If you would like to shove him in a barrel and throw him over Niagara, go for it.
If you'd like to roast him in a vat of Tim Hortons, please do.
You've earned it.
Are you against MAGA? Are you a part of the anti Trump coalition? Then knock it the fuck off with the inside fighting. You're all in the tent. Stop trying to paint it only one color.

Did I (who has no freaking idea about how most of the rules work) think the red card was a bit extreme? Yes. Do I now think the felon tainted the team to even have ANY involvement with getting a suspension of it? YES.
HE RUINS EVERYTHING.
You can still celebrate what has been accomplished while mourning what has been destroyed. You can love the U.S. and still know it can do better. I love my kids and still push them for better. I love my students and still push them for better. Trust I am on both if they have bad behavior.
So light the fireworks. Watch the parades. Know that a country grew out of an idea about freedom and hope - but also slave labor and indigenous land theft and genocide. Both can be true at the same time.
You can admire the good and still remember the evils. I'd like to think the average American represents the better angels of our nature. Be the better. Push back on the bad.
MAGA is not America and never will be. Happy 250, U.S.A.
Just a reminder that patriotism isn't holding a bible and wrapping yourself in the flag while you violate the Constitution and plunder the country.
Happy 4th of July, stay cool and safe!!
