Barack Obama at his last press briefing with reporters, 2017:
"I have enjoyed working with all of you. That does not, of course, mean that I've enjoyed every story that you have filed, but that's the point of this relationship. You're not supposed to be sycophants. You're supposed to be skeptics. You're supposed to ask me tough questions. You're not supposed to be complimentary, but you're supposed to cast a critical eye on folks who hold enormous power."

Jalen Hurts wasn’t perfect yesterday in Tennessee, but when the moment demanded it, he was DANG GOOD.
That final drive by the @Eagles was a thing of beauty, and their Super Bowl MVP quarterback delivered when it mattered most.
I couldn’t wait to break down every throw, play by play. That’s “What Kept Me Up Last Night.” And there was no way I was doing anything else before getting to this one today.

“This is the first time in my adult life where there's been an issue that's come up that I feel like is going to directly impact me,”
If you’re not American and curious why everything is going to shit this quote generally sums up what’s wrong with this country.

The “best singers” list never includes Gospel singers because they would take up the first 25-50 spots easily 💯

Genuine question because I don’t actually know the answer: when it was boys who wanted to make more money, did researchers call it “materialism,” or did they use a different term?

Fellow Black folks who grew up in predominantly white areas,
Check on each other. Our Facebook feeds have been in *shambles* for the last week 😳

The US can’t control propaganda on TikTok, like with X and Meta.
So Republicans wrote a bill to ban TikTok.
Then pressured Dems to own it.
Now, Trump will “save it” by forcing a sale to a right-wing oligarch after taking millions of dollars from TikTok’s owners.
What a sham.
Beth is amazing!

✍️C02 Remember the last time you heard a great story? Our language-learners enjoy hearing stories in class. In fact, they enjoy it so much they will forget that they are listening in a different language; they will be so focused on the story, the characters, and the action. This is how Comprehensible Input works. Story- Listening was researched and developed by Dr. Stephen Krashen and Dr. Beniko Mason.
