Hey Ese, Kasich is a bueno hombre.

Kasich, my former governor, looks so phony and desperate by posting about Bad Bunny.  

It’s not like anyone asked him to weigh in on the Super Bowl half-time show.  Even if he is actually a fan of Bad Bunny, he should be politically astute enough to realize this confirms that he is a puppet dickhead.  

Planet Fitness needs to get serious.

NYT:  More People Are Lifting Weights. It’s Changing Gym Culture.

It’s the first week of the year, so corporate media assumes that the holiday season has left everyone fat and ashamed.  The New York Times and Planet Fitness both think they are doing something important.

Planet Fitness has a ‘no judgement’ theme, like they are Frankie Avalon pushing back against the muscle-bound bully who kicks sand in the face of a wimp in Beach Blanket Bingo. They have a chip on their shoulder, like somebody at work who is gay or a Christian.  Nobody cares.

Classroom Phone Bans Work. So Why Don’t All Schools Do It?

WSJ:  Classroom Phone Bans Work. So Why Don’t All Schools Do It?

A large urban district in Florida saw an increase in student test scores. A smaller school district in rural California is experiencing a dramatic decline in student behavioral problems. The reason for both: the absence of smartphones in the classroom.

Two things have changed since last year.

Social media is Pandora’s Box filled with candy.

Time: Court Filings Allege Meta Downplayed Risks to Children and Misled the Public

“Meta has designed social media products and platforms that it is aware are addictive to kids, and they’re aware that those addictions lead to a whole host of serious mental health issues,” says Previn Warren, the co-lead attorney for the plaintiffs in the case.

That’s really bad, but everybody knew this.  It’s not like anyone cares about kids.

Joy Reid sounds normal.

“I’m alarmed enough when I see a woman with her dangling boobies.

“This is nothing against trans anybody. What it’s saying is if I turn around and I see a pee pee — a penis — in front of me inside of the room, I would probably go to management and say, ‘Wait a minute. Why is there somebody a naked man in this room?’ Because… just from a safety standpoint and just from a, you know, from a privacy standpoint, I would so I can see why she would have gone and reported to management.
