Same for me. I notice that if I click the direct link it opens much faster, but still a little lag. Clicking the thumbnail always causes a 5 second or so delay.

At least the Beaufort school board decided to review properly. This district, not so much. https://www.aclusc.org/en/press-releases/dorchester-2-schools-face-biggest-book-purge-yet-school-board-should-fight-back

I used the online databases to get the paid for consumer reports reviews of washers and dryers. I didn't care for their recommendations, just the data.

Our local library also has free passes to local city and state places like aquariums, parks, etc. that usually change an admission. They are hard to get, but free isn't always easy!

I posted this as a reply to someone else, so copying here too. It's not they "may" be able to attend, federal law says they must be able to attend and be provided transportation.

The McKinney-Vento Homelessness Assistance Act requires districts to allow homeless students to attend their school of origin, regardless of the family having an address in the school district.

The point is for school to be one less difficulty for children in what is an already difficult event.

CALDERON: Governor DeSantis, I have a question for you. Governor DeSantis, I have a question for you. This new black history curriculum says quote, “slaves develop skills which in some instances could be applied for their personal benefit.”

You have said slaves develop skills in spite of slavery not because of it. But many are still hurt. For descendants of slaves, this is personal. What is your message to them?

DESANTIS: So first of all, that’s a hoax that was perpetrated by Kamala Harris. We are not going to be doing that. Second of all, that was written by descendants of slaves. These are great black history scholars. So we need to stop playing these games.

Here’s the deal. Our country’s education system is in decline because it’s focused on indoctrination, denying parent rights. Florida represents the revival of American education. We’re ranked number one in the nation in education by US News and World Report.

CALDERON: Vice President Pence, the Department of Homeland Security warns that violence against LGBTQ plus people is on the rise and intensifying, according to a recent study, members of that community are nine times more likely to be victims of violent hate crimes. As President, how would you protect this community from violent attacks and discrimination?

PENCE: Well, as President of the United States, I’ll — I’ll stand up for the safety and the civil liberties of every American, from every background. And I want the American people to know that. But I want to answer the question as well as, Dana, that you just asked Burgum. Because my way of full disclosure, Chris, you mentioned the President’s situation. I — my wife isn’t a member of the Teachers Union, but I got to admit I — I’ve been sleeping with a teacher for 38 years and a full disclosure. Look, education is a state and local function.

Then why don't we institute the "Wyoming Rule?" It's not "rule by the masses" but much more representative of what the population wants.

Podcast Republic is my go to. I listen to 5 or 6 podcasts. But have 2 or 3 that are time relevant, like news. I set those as priority, and Podcast Republic makes an auto playlist that puts them all in order by my preference, then release date old to new.

If a preferred podcast comes out, it goes to the top of my auto playlist. I can't podcast without it now.
