Probably a good idea teachers are recycling this method.

“Sales of blue books this school year were up more than 30% at Texas A&M University and nearly 50% at the University of Florida. The improbable growth was even more impressive at the University of California, Berkeley. Over the past two academic years, blue-book sales at the Cal Student Store were up 80%”

They Were Every Student’s Worst Nightmare. Now Blue Books Are Back

I don't think those of us who care about the mess we're in truly realize just how much those who don't care really don't care. #politics

We’ve seen this movie before. It didn’t end well.

Your now twice, and continuing, weekly reminder that we're still in a Civil War

Good morning. Spring theoretically begins the transition to summer. I’m not convinced yet. #photography #Today #Spring #Chicago

Chilly temps aside, it’s a beautiful afternoon at the lake. #Photography

Ooof.

Newphew zinged an older Trump ass-kissing relative at breakfast this morning, saying "You get your news from Fox. That's like saying you got your understanding of classical music from watching Bugs Bunny cartoons." #politics

We all watched this bet get laid on the table and knew then that the guy laying the bet knew he was going to come up snake-eyes. #Apple

Sorta feels like we're all in a bad marriage that we want to leave, know we're going to end, but we're just waiting for the kids to get out of college before doing the deed. While the scar tissue continues to harden. #politics

Good morning and good Memorial Day for those in the US. #Photography #Today #MemorialDay #Chicago #flowers

@davidtoddmccarty I feel like I walked through a hall of mirrors.

What I find hilarious is that most of the folks throwing bucks at Trump consider themselves con artists in their own right.

When they get stiffed and find out they are only third rate grifters it must be tougher on the ego than it is on the wallet. #politics

@mgs This may be the last link I save to Pocket before exporting what I can.

Just what is this future we’re heading into anyway? Everything is intertwined.
