Via a series of local counterattacks, the Ukrainians are retaking territory lost to the Ruskis. Road to victory or the path to a stronger negotiating posture? What will the Ruskis be able to do once these offensives have run their course? Ben Shapiro on his show has been warning that Putin is going to come out of this thing with much of what he wants. We agree. Putin is losing every battle but winning the war. Russians don't think about casualties the same way we do.
Will takes the Black Pill: The right is congratulating itself over Desantis' anti-grooming bill, the rash of angry parents at school boards, and men in women's sports legislation, etc. Okay good. But 20 years ago, 30 states had laws and referendums against gay marriage and now here we are trying to keep boy touchers away from kids in schools.
There's an MSNBC video going around of a young and gay Florida teacher complaining that he's afraid to talk about his partner in class. The anti-grooming bill doesn't forbid him from talking about his partner in class, it just forbids him from talking about his partner's pee-pee.
You know, we were thinking back to our days at Furnace Woods Elementary School. We can't recall anything about Mrs. Walsh, Mrs. Globerman, Mrs. Bailingson, Mrs. Anderson and Mr. Brett. We couldn't tell you where they were from or even if they were married. Then we thought about our middle and high school teachers, and don't remember anything about them either.
We've been a summer camp councilor, a full time teacher, a sub and a college prof. Over the course of a semester, the kids are going to pick up things about their teachers. We we're no different. If you were a student in one of Professor Stroock's classes you learned he liked the Giants and had three girls and loved heavy metal (the Iron Maiden tie gave it away). If you were politically inclined you figured out at some point that he was conservative.
