The Monday after the Superb Owl* is much rougher when you're in the Eastern time zone.
*for those unfamiliar, it's a (Super Bowl) joke from the show What We Do in the Shadows

We are in KC, so I am sure bedtime wasn’t a thing for a lot of kids last night. My kids went to bed about an hour late and are doing ok, but I am sure it’s rough for a lot of classmates today.

I work in a private school with some very, um, affluent families. I'm on the east coast. One of our first graders and her family took a red eye back from Vegas where they were at the game and she is here this morning. Good luck to her teacher.

Let her take the day off, goodness (said to her parents I mean).

Grumbles from behind my 4th cup of coffee: why can’t the game time be 4 pm EST/1 pm PST. That’s more than enough daylight hours on both coasts to get everything prepped for the game.

Next year it's in New Orleans so kickoff will be 3:30 est instead of 6:30. Much better. It's rough out here when the game is played on the West Coast. 😅

We bailed after the half time performance. Honestly, even though they were behind, it was a forgone conclusion to me that KC was going to win. Call it the Taylor Swift effect if you will.

I feel like even when’s it on the East Coast it’s still a late start?

But with less novel viruses, please. This would be the only reason I would stop being mad about the game. And I don’t even like the Biden Administration anymore. But in this fucked world it’s the slightly better alternative to the dump.

I thought kickoff was always 3:30pm, whichever time zone, but perhaps that was all a west coast fever dream (and wishful east coast thinking). 🙃

What I need people (not here, other people) to realize is that we are not voting on the next four years. We are voting on the literal future of how this country will run, far past these two candidates' time. You don't like Biden? I get it. But if Trump wins again, will we even get to vote again, ever? I know that sounds dramatic, but that's what I am truly worried about. Hold your nose and vote for Biden to protect our democracy and standing in the poitical world.

The idea of another Trump term is a nightmare. But... we're also currently living in a nightmare. And I am not going to tell people of color — particularly not Arab Americans — to just suck it up and vote for Biden. That's not the voters' responsibility. It's the admin's responsibility to convince us to vote for them.

The community college in my city has decided to allow campus safety to have long guns. The students are rightfully pissed and protesting. Apparently a lot of the SUNY (state University of NY) schools are planning or working on implementing this
NOPE. Don't like that.

cnf That sounds like a recipe for disaster. Well, the argument for it is that they have to be locked up in public safety when not needed. But the students are also rightfully pointing out that in the event of a shooting, officers would have to go to their offices, unlock their guns, load them, then return to the shooting and by then it would already be over anyways. The whole thing is fucking stupid. GUN ACCESS AND LAWS ARE THE PROBLEM. Good guys with guns don't fix things. Please see Uvalde for additional confirmation.

It's like they're not even trying. The presence of guns makes people LESS safe, not MORE.

cnf last I checked your Alma mater still wasn’t planning on allowing it. From what I’ve read NYS allows them to be carried but it’s up to each campus president to decide if they should be allowed or not.

I feel for the students on the campuses who are implementing it though. I would be really unhappy as a student if the safety officers could have guns on them.

Fuck them man. This tracks with Biden’s comment of “our” invasion. I know it’s not the first time and probably won’t be the last time the US supports a genocide but this is so fucked and I feel just hopelessness.

So on todays edition of Lets Keep Idaho as embarrassing as possible, I'm heading down to a hearing on changing the meaning of domestic terrorism. they are trying to change the definition to say that it cant be terrorism unless there is a foreign actor.
Our session has been absolutely bonkers this year and I'm TIRED.
