He wasn't even serious about it before his threat. It was just him trying to get his way and then he'd find a loophole, just like with his companies. But, glad Durbin brought it up.

So I’m down the rabbit hole because Matt Gaetz’s fiancé’s sister posted a video about him being a creep and her confronting him. Anyways, I didn’t realize his finance is the sister of the dude who sold oculus to FB for $2B. Interesting. And also, I read this and the quotes in the article have me convinced that his fiancé hates him as much as everyone else. She said “duh” when he asked her to marry him. And she calls herself his “travel buddy”. Ummm, ok. www.google.com/amp/s/nypost.com/2021/03/31/who-is-ginger-luckey-matt-gaetzs-fiancee/amp/

Nate silver is back on his bullshit. This made me laugh: Really tired of the argument that groups of mostly masked protesters outdoors is the same covid risk level as an indoor packed church with no masks.

Oh no on the Simone biles news. They showed a clip of her last night that made me sad. She was saying how every day she wakes up with pain from training. She seemed really sad when she was talking. I hope she’s ok.

I saw this and immediately ran here. Hope she's OK!!! The GD Olympics thread says it might be for mental health reasons. I really feel for her. The pressure she is under is so immense. I hope no matter what it is, she will be alright. Sending her all the hugs. What makes me really angry is the shit she will inevitably get if it is mental health reasons - mental health is health, and if she can't compete, she can't compete, full stop. It doesn't make her any less great, she's still the GOAT, and prioritizing her mental and emotional well-being makes her an even better role model IMO. And also, if it is a physical injury, I don't like the comparisons she's already drawing to Kerri Strug. Yes, Kerri did something amazing in 1996 but she never should have been put in that position. No athlete should feel obligated to play/perform through an injury. That's why there are alternates and benches. Yes, it's disappointing, but we have to prioritize health over winning, FFS.

This article is Bananas. "But White parents say their hometown was never racist — at least not until an obsession with race began infecting the school system through its embrace of CRT, an allegation school officials have denied" WHAT. “We don’t, not even for a second, think about race,” said Darcie Pickren, 67, a vocal leader of the anti-CRT movement who is White, with Irish and Native American ancestry, and two of whose children graduated from the school system. “We never would. And I think that this is opening a can of worms and we are not going to be able to go back.” Added Sally Roeser, 44, a White mother of two who graduated from Traverse public schools: “We were all brought up not to take someone’s race into consideration. That’s what we’re guaranteed in America.” YEAH THAT'S THE PROBLEM. www.washingtonpost.com/local/education/mock-slave-trade-critical-race-theory/2021/07/23/b4372c36-e9a8-11eb-ba5d-55d3b5ffcaf1_story.html

I don’t think I can read any more about parents freaking out about CRT. I’m already at a simmering rage this week. Also why is white capitalized?
I’m attempting to find some good news. I saw kidspost had six podcast suggestions, and I think my kids would love them all.
Book club for kids: middle schoolers discussion Steam daydream: DC kids museum The big fib: how to spot fake news Six minutes: mystery told in six minute episodes But why: Vermont public radio answers odd questions
