Walked out for our usual morning perambulation, the dog and I. Noticed we had a bit of rain overnight.
We both started sniffing the air - the air smelled odd, somehow. Sort of like the smell of the air after a light rain... but the dog looked at me and I at her, and we agreed - this was not that.
It was... off, somehow. It smelled, I dunno, generic.
It was as though G-d had sprayed "After a Summer Rain" Glade Air Freshener everywhere.
We shrugged, the dog and I, and moved on.

UPDATE: ALEC tabled two model bills designed to promote the fossil fuel industry as renewables gain market share.

"Even when people in this group knew they weren’t the best off, what kept them from feeling that they were at the very bottom was the color of their skin."

Seriously worry for students of mine going into education, including the one about to go student teaching.

Don't be fooled by the spin: Republicans are banning courses and harassing teachers out of their job https://www.salon.com/2023/08/10/dont-be-fooled-by-the-spin-are-banning-courses-and-harassing-teachers-out-of-their-job/

Guessing this will turn into a bigger shit show than it is. Hope I’m wrong.
FBI fatally shoots man in Utah who allegedly threatened Biden, Alvin Bragg and others https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/fbi-fatally-shoots-man-utah-allegedly-threatened-biden-alvin-bragg-oth-rcna99083
#Abortion- Although I don’t believe women should use abortion like birth control, I believe women should have dominion over their bodies, her choice, and if you think about the #GOP position, “we’ll see to it you’re born, but then you are on your own kid”, and the fact that human numbers are approaching bacteria status on this Earth, we really don’t need huge numbers of unwanted children brought into this world because of biological urges we don’t seem able to control. That’s a fact…🤔

FABULOUS NEWS ‼️
CLAWED BACK SCHOOL BOARDS
Another progressive trend from Ohio.
2021, conservative activists launched well-funded effort to elect far-right to local school boards.
Discovered late how robust this effort was, it appeared that surge would sweep MAGA sorts to victory everywhere.
But failed.
Most conservative education board candidates lost in Ohio—even in conservative districts.
SIMILAR school board election outcomes occurred in 2022 and 2023,
- from WISCONSIN,
- ILLINOIS,
- NC. ‼️
