Teaching online. Last virtual office hour of the 9-week term. No student has dropped by for any office hour or three required (of me) webinars. It's almost like students taking asynchronous classes don't care about synchronous events. Who could have known?

🎵 No, I won't back down,
Cause I'm such a clown.
I don't care if I bring a world war around
But I won't back down.🎵

NEW: Tommy Tuberville says he won’t back down on his months-long blockade on hundreds of military promotions — even after Hamas’ massive terrorist attack against Israel. If McConnell can’t control him, it’s time for the Senate to change its rules and confirm ALL the nominees now.

ALWAYS check the source, especially if the information is a bit too pat or outrage-inducing.

Nana of the Shire @Sunshines_Heart

Seriously. So much outrage bait being amplified by people who don’t check for reality.

There are 130k schools in this country, staffed with 3M teachers. And 99.99% of those teachers could not care a lick about indoctrinating or converting your kids. Teachers just want kids to find their own way during their short stint in that particular classroom. And wash their hands after peeing.

This is important for Ohio voters. Please echo. Here's a link to look up your voter location: https://voterlookup.ohioso... 🇺🇲

Abbi Lichtenstein @abbij1961

Polling locations changed in Ohio counties ahead of Aug. 8 special election. This is another ploy by Rs to prevent you from voting. OH voters please check your polling place before heading out to vote No on issue 1.

Polling locations changed in Ohio counties ahead of Aug. 8 special election

Did your polling location change? Voters around Ohio should check with their county board of elections to find out where to vote on Election Day on Tuesday, Aug. 8.

I fussed a LOT about how long it was taking to prosecute TFG, so I'll reverse that and praise Jack Smith's and his crews work with indictments today.

Well done!

The PACT Act is the most significant expansion of benefits and services for toxic exposed veterans in more than 30 years.

If you file your claim or submit your intent to file by August 9, 2023, you may receive benefits backdated to August 10, 2022.

When I visit Spoutible's "Explore" list, I see the same 5 tweets posted multiple times. Not echoed, posted.

Does anyone have this happen, too, and is there a fix?
