Spending time with your children investing in what they want and like to do is vital for their growth and for their self-worth. I agree 100% on that.

I know travel ball is being used as a loose example here, and I don't mean to get on a travel ball or youth sports kick but from my perspective as a father of a 20 year old, a 14 year old, and an 8 year old is that much of this "travel" stuff be it baseball, basketball, Xtreme cheer, etc. is for the parents to have social lives and make friends with other parents.

I've never seen an elementary age boy or girl jonesing to do one specific thing all the time year over year. They may enjoy it, but they want to do other kids' stuff too. As they get older that changes and shifts on both sides (parent and child) regarding the why. But, for the most part, these kids get signed up for this stuff at 7 or 8 years old because mom and dad do nothing but work, homework, birthday parties, car pool, etc. and want other grown ups to socialize with.

Same for why every 30+ year old suddenly starts going to church and retreats and all that (ducks....) but I feel it's mostly true. Not that they don't "believe" or that it can't yield positive results in their lives. But the origin of that is often socially motivated.

Recently, I listened to Tom Petty one way for around 5 hours one way and R.E.M. for the return trip. Both were solid decisions.

Supposed to be sworn in at Noon and I think they were close to running behind. Probably explains why Roberts rushed.

They passed this without even finding a source of funding for it. I wouldn’t hold my breath that we ever see it implemented.

My understanding is that the funds are payor tax dollars already designated for the public school in your child’s school zone. So a payor simply has the option to take their tax money and use it for private school if they choose. So funding is not really an issue.

We’re about to see a run of exposes on these folks that are really behind these OF accounts and the actions of these “models”. There has to be so much sex trafficking, pimping, whatever you want to call it. No doubt, after seeing the end of that doc, that this girl is not the primary force behind what she’s doing.

As of today:

Vampire Weekend - Only God Was Above Us
Father John Misty - Mahashashana
MJ Lenderman - Manning Fireworks
Wishy - Triple Seven
Good Looks - Lived Here for a While
Mannequin Pussy - I Got Heaven
The Cure - Songs of a Lost World
2nd Grade - Secondhand Explosions
This is Lorelei - Box for Buddy, Box for Star
Hovvdy - Hovvdy
Jack White - No Name

The fact that they, and their tweets like this, are the exact reason the result is what it is and they're just still going with it is next level stupidity.

1. Hammering abortion and women’s rights only can take you so far. This seems to be the only issue, other than OMB, they’re running on.

2. Telling the voters that they’re only decent human beings if they vote one way is an insane persuasion tactic.

If they can’t pull off the steal this time, these two points will be looked back on as to why they couldn’t win, IMO.

My album of the year so far.

Reminds me of Khraungbin with more of an indie folk slant. Excellent for late nights or early morning listening.

Her husband seems do some investing in oil and gas, per IG. My guess is that brought them to NWLA.
