"We Don't Stop Playing Because We Grow Old, We Grow Old Because We Stop Playing."

Couldn't Marjorie Taylor Greene get in contact with the people with the Jewish Space Lasers to shoot down the Russian planes over Ukraine???

Need to show this to my students.

I believe in free education, one that’s available to everyone; no matter their race, gender, age, wealth, etc… This masterpost was created for every knowledge hungry individual out there. I hope it will serve you well. Enjoy!

*There are a lot more learning websites out there, but I picked the ones that are, as far as I’m aware, completely free and in my opinion the best/ more useful.

Let's be clear. Mr. Gaiman is the exception, not the rule. Most professional authors are nowhere close to millionaires. I was surprised when I learned that, as a public school teacher, I earn more than most authors. Neil is coming to bat for all of those authors who will lose a substantial part of their income because of this. I agree that libraries are important, and not everyone can afford to buy books, but I can see both sides of this coin.

I was discussing high school proms with a friend, and he said guys wants one of two things in a prom date:

1. A slut who will blow you both going to the prom and coming back.

Or

2. Jennifer Connely in the dance scene from "Labyrinth".

‐‐-----------------------------------------

My wife and I are big fans of Labyrinth and David Bowie. For her birthday a few years ago I got her this:

Labyrinth As The World Falls Down

Why is every ad I see either "You need to shave your balls" or "You need Jesus"?

when I'm teaching the periodic table and the structure of the atom to my students, I show them this picture. I say it's the "smartest picture on Earth".

Not only was Marie Curie the only person in that picture with two Nobels, she was the first person to win two, and the ONLY person ever to win in two different categories.

Marie curie being the only one there with two Nobel prizes like an absolute icon

They are all amazing though

Imagine if the garbage celebs who made that “Imagine” song cover had put half as much effort into their singing as these pro stunt artists put into their own quarantine content: a fight scene performed by over a dozen stunt artists, remotely.

Yep, that's pretty much it.

I am so making one of these for my classroom. (I already have a single-shot version.)

This was my first CD. Back in the day, I saved my pennies to buy a CD player. The prices had recently dropped, and were now down somewhere around $300. (At a time when minimum wage was $3.35/hr. It took a lot of saving.) I bought the player, only to realize that I had spent pretty much all my money and had nothing left to buy any CDs to play on it. The shop manager seemed to notice the dilemma and offered me a free CD from the rack, and I instantly grabbed Oxygene. I had several Jarre records, but not this one. It's been more than 40 years, and I still have the CD. I ended up buying a lot of CDs from that shop...

Jean Michel Jarre, Oxygene, 1977
