@Ronnie Let that someone out!
@WuMargaret I understand completely! I lived in Taiwan from 1971-1973 and learned to cook while there. It’s something I enjoy immensely.
Food - curry, rice

.@VP and I sat down with leaders from the Congressional Black Caucus to continue on our commitment to reform policing in America.

@Ronnie I always wind up going back to the Air.
From MSNBC: NEW: The FAA will halt flight departures to Wilmington, Myrtle Beach, and Charleston in response to the Chinese surveillance balloon over the Carolinas.

Florida teachers hide their books to avoid felonies from book banner Ron DeSantis.
“In Duval County, which comprises Jacksonville, PEN America found that 176 titles had already been banned, including at least one Berenstain Bears book; biographies of Henry Aaron, Harriet Tubman, Celia Cruz, Rosa Parks, and Malala …”

@tultican I’ve never been a big fan of AP classes. But this seems to take precedence over any curriculum chosen by a school, and it’s wrong in every way.
