Brandon Johnson’s electoral coalition is officially dead with this endorsement. His campaign is nearly broke and it is rumored that his petitions are in a shambles. This raises serious viability questions. chicagotribune.com/2026/10/2…

i have severe ADHD and i am a teacher i have examined all sorts of ways of either turning the intercom down or disconnecting it (the latter has some consequences). my kids know tardies drive me NUTS, not because i wish to control them, but i lose my train of thought instantly.

Kraft and Monti-Nussbaum studied outside interruptions in Providence Public Schools: intercom announcements, phone calls, staff visits, and students arriving late. They combined district-wide surveys with timed observations of 63 high school class periods. They found that a typical classroom is interrupted more than 2,000 times a year. About half of those interruptions trigger further off-task behavior, and together they cost roughly 10 to 20 days of instruction annually. Tardy students were the most common cause, and phone calls were the most costly per instance. Principals consistently underestimated both how often interruptions happen and how much they hurt learning. Because most interruptions come from school staff and vary widely between schools, the authors argue they are highly preventable. Their remedies include cutting unscheduled announcements, moving routine messages to email, and addressing tardiness. journals.sagepub.com/doi/ful…

Time and place where it’s okay to have your ass out: a club Time and place where it’s not okay to have your ass out: a fucking sporting event I think girls should be able to dress cute to sporting events and all but it is not appropriate to ever have your ass out at any sporting event put some fucking shorts on

I really wonder if Taty Castellanos is ok He was great for us in the PL why the hell is he so sluggish now Is he trying to force an exit or does he just not care about football anymore

Thoughts on Morato? Personally think he's been defensively solid, but need to see more output from him when going forward. ⚒️

It explains a lot

🚨 🗣️ Breaking: Ainsley Maitland-Niles on why he refused to take the knee before Everton vs Chelsea: “Honestly, I feel like these gestures have become formalities. We take the knee before matches, cameras capture the moment, and everyone moves on. But what actually changes? “I have experienced racism throughout my career, from my time at Arsenal to Lyon and now back at Everton. Yet I rarely see meaningful consequences for those responsible. How many more Black players must suffer before real action is taken? “Behind every racist insult is a human being being humiliated for the colour of their skin. Imagine giving everything to football, entertaining millions, only to be reminded that some people still believe you are worth less because you are Black. “I am tired of seeing beautiful messages against racism followed by the same ugly reality. Taking the knee means nothing if the people responsible face no consequences. “I don’t want another photograph of players taking the knee. I want to see real punishment, real accountability and real change. Black players deserve to feel protected, respected and safe, not just for the 60 seconds before kick-off, but every single day. #EVECHE
