My 7 year old was in a car pool to go to an after school activity. Each girl got to pick a song and apparently all but once picked a kids song. My daughter asked if they could play Green Day.

Took my 7 and 5 year olds to go see Green Day, Smashing Pumpkins, and Rancid last summer. Taking them to a music festival this summer and probably Offspring in the fall. They listen to 80s and 90s music on their own, and I'll turn on the older rock when we get in the car.

Far more likely that they set on fire because they are poorly designed an Musky boy is dismantling any and all safety regulations for his death traps.

Maybe they became self aware and could no longer live with themselves knowing their family history.

it's a demonstration of how democracy is broken. It all depends on everyone to play nicely. You can cheat but if you're caught you bow out gracefully. The checks and balances are all based on one part of the government pointing saying "we see what you did, you're out." But what happens when one side has no shame. What happens when they have no empathy for others?

Congress controls funding and it is explicitly not the President's role. He is now circumventing the laws to get his agenda done without the support of Congress which should trigger an impeachment. Of course Congress is either already in his pocket or is too impotent to do anything so here we are.
