I am not against having kids put the phone away, but there are real reasons parents are worried.

Then there was the time, a kid brought a gun to the elementary school and it went off, luckily into the carpet. My kid was in a different part of the building and wasn't aware until I picked him up. I found out on social media, not through the school.
Rowzat (@rowzat.bsky.social) reply parent
Yeah, but it happened at my kid's school. Now my kid didn't actually text me during the incident. But other kids texted their parents. Different levels of panic depending on the classroom/kid. Also, within a week a kid was killed at a different school in the district.

To text their parents they love them when they are on lock down for the third time in 10 days and have no idea what is going on.
Rowzat (@rowzat.bsky.social) reply parent
It's a pretty sad commentary on society that this happened. However, I am also guilty of texting my teen during the day to pick up something at Target on his bike ride home.
Rowzat (@rowzat.bsky.social) reply parent
Well, they do need to text their parents that they love them when they are on lock down for the third time in a week and have no idea what is going on. If course when this happened, other kids texted. My kid did not.

The safety of the people of Illinois is always my top priority. There is no emergency that warrants the President of the United States federalizing the Illinois National Guard, deploying the National Guard from other states, or sending active duty military within our own borders.

I used to remove the peels from the tomatoes , but I found that the texture difference from leaving on the peels didn't warrant the extra work.

Stir in fresh herbs like oregano, basil, rosemary and thyme. Seasoni with salt and pepper. Once it has cooled a bit, puree in a blender.

Coarsely cut tomatoes and onions. I leave tomato skins on. Peel garlic and put in a pan. Drizzle with olive oil. Put in oven at 425 F for at least an hour hour. Stir at 30 minute mark. Time will vary. Pull out when liquid is reduced and there are some black bits.

Folks are terrified of the NYC subway, think DC is a gang ridden hellscape and have other often irrational fears, but here's the truth, other than disease or an abusive partner with a gun, you're most likely to be killed by a reckless driver, and we barely acknowledge it's a problem.

What's the problem with trying new things in government that make people so scared? Being shown something else works? Or the money? They're planning on building a golden ballroom room and a nuclear reactor on the moon. We could probably try some free public transportation and universal healthcare.

50501 organized some of the first protests so props to them. But the Twin Cities event is a festival/catharsis. There will be food trucks and controlled literal smashing. The AQI is horrid and it's not exactly a protest, so we will likely stay home.
