Seems relevant to drop the fact that the game you people call “musical chairs”, in Germany we call “Travel to Jerusalem”.

It’s a Minnesota joke.

The person walking around the circle is always at a massive advantage - they almost never get caught unless the person picked is able to tag them before standing up. But to ensure I never got caught, my winning strategy was to have no tells. Make the cadence and tone of my “ducks” exactly the same and make the “goose” sound exactly the same as the “ducks.”
An angle-shot I did not like, though, were kids who would go really fast around the circle so that they already had speed when they choose their goose. I thought that was against the spirit of the game.
Don’t get me started on musical chairs.

That’s a flagrant.
A middle school teacher in West Ada School District has been instructed to remove two inclusive signs from her classroom, sparking controversy over the district’s interpretation of its content neutrality policy.
Sarah Inama, who has taught world civilization to 6th graders at Lewis and Clark Middle School for four years, was told by school administrators to take down signs stating “everyone in this room is welcome, important, accepted, respected, encouraged, valued, and equal” and “everyone is welcome here.” The district claims these signs violate policy requiring classroom content to be neutral.

Can’t think of anything more “neutral” than “everyone is welcome and equal”. Gosh, I wonder what they possibly could be objecting to…
“Except dirty Mexicans, dirty blacks and dirty Canadians” is missing from neutrality.

I guess this could go in here, the people complaining are almost for sure republicans. A recent court ruling allowed more public access to rich-ass Lake Oswego and the generational wealthers who live there are in a tizzy over it. It’s socialism!
Another pair of residents likened open lake access to socialism. “You cannot live in the Governor’s mansion just because you want to, and you think it is your right,” wrote John and Kathy Willis. “None of us can live in the White House just because we feel we are entitled to do so because we are taxpayers in this country.”
They added: “When those who work the hardest must give to those who did not make the same commitment, you have socialism.”
And of course can you imagine if the public started having fun there:
“[T]he fountain area below Millennium Park, which is now a serene area to view the lake, will become nothing short of a carnival act on a hot summer day, with paddleboards and inner tubes prepping to go in the water,” wrote Mark Dunham, who identified himself as a 30-year resident. “The last thing the city (and taxpayers) need is public access to the lake, which will ultimately spoil the lake, the Millennium Park area, and strain the city’s resources.”
First thing I thought of was the pool scene from Caddyshack (1980). I’m also hoping someone starts dumping Teslas in the lake.

Obviously not going anywhere but 5 republican state senators in Minnesota are trying to get trump derangement syndrome classified as a mental illness.
Does this mean that they need to pay for mental health services related to it? What is the endgame here?

I’m hoping it counts towards “not guilty by reason of insanity”

Abbott told a group of Baptist ministers in Austin on Thursday that he was backing a bill, filed by Republican Rep. Stan Gerdes from Smithville, that would ban “non-human” behavior in schools.
“Kids in two rural school district settings go to school dressed up as cats with litter boxes in their classrooms. This has become so prolific, Stan Gerdes, State Representative in the state of Texas, is actually having to file a piece of legislation saying no furries in public schools in the state of Texas,” said Abbott.
The Texas Newsroom asked for the names of these two counties but did not get a direct answer.
The Forbidden Unlawful Representation of Roleplaying in Education, or F.U.R.R.I.E.S. Act, would codify rules against students barking, hissing, licking or meowing in schools. The “non-human behavior” cited in the bill would also ban students from wearing tails, leashes or fur, unless it’s Halloween or another approved holiday where costumes are expected.
Abbott told the group of ministers that, “if you have a child in a public school, you have one expectation, your child is going to be learning the fundamentals of education, like reading, writing, math and science. If they’re being distracted by furries, those parents have a right to move their child to the school of their choice."
