Today, I Scholared over in Fairmount, and it was disappointing, because I can't ride a bike up hills anymore (even hills that aren't very steep). I'm disappointed and angry beyond description, because I can't do the things I used to be able to do.
On the way home, I devoured lunchage at Piatt Park. While I was there, some woman walking down the street bubbled.
Today I went to the doctor, which is at the same practice as my dentist who I visited on Tuesday. While I was in the waiting room, a man got up from his chair and ripped an audible bunker blast.
Today I went to the dentist, and in the waiting room there, some woman bubbled. This is despite the fact that most dentists hate gum.
Later, at Kroger, a young man ripped an LAP bunker blast as he was emerging from the soft drink aisle. He looked around as if he was pretending someone else did it.
San Francisco in the 2020s continues its streak of outdoing Phil Heimlich-era Cincinnati in its rightism.
Last week, there was a voter referendum in San Francisco that would have enacted a tax hike on highly paid corporate executives. You'd think that would have passed easily. But - after the city's painfully slow ballot counting process - it now appears as if the measure was rejected.
A measure like this would have no trouble at all passing in small Rust Belt towns, yet it gets rejected in a supposedly "liberal" big city like San Francisco.
The referendum was opposed by right-wing Mayor Daniel Lurie and a host of corporate opinion havers who spent zillions to defeat it. If the tax had passed, it would have generated as much as $300 million in revenues for the city.
But the thought police didn't want that, I guess. Because rich people have had everything so rough in life. The poor things.
Man, everything just keeps getting weirder and weirder, doesn't it?
A Catholic school in Abbeville, Louisiana, has now decided to ban students in 8th grade and under from using social media sites - not just at school, but even away from school. The ban applies when they're at home, during weekends, and even during summer break. Students are banned from even having social media accounts.
The fourth offense will result in expulsion.
This is a private school, and a private school has more power to control students' lives than a public school does. But in this case, the school is overstepping its authority. There ought to be a law to stop schools - public as well as private - from doing this. Then again, public schools have also shown over the past few years that they too like to control off-campus conduct, so you know public schools are chomping at the bit to copy this school's policy.
Louisiana was also one of the first states to give taxpayer money to religious schools, which is unconstitutional, but they do it anyway.
