Yes, I believe there are lots of videos depicting teacher/student interactions in the classroom.
“I go to PornHub, but only for the articles…”
Kavanaugh’s smile lowers after he hears the word ‘tea’
Rand Paul suggests fighting wildfires in California with the same idea I would’ve thought of when I was 5 years old.
You’d think a man from a state that regularly gets snow would know what happens when you coat everything with salt.
I’m pretty sure firefighting planes have already been scooping up seawater and dumping it on the fires.
Republican runs unopposed for open seat in the WV legislature, wins, gets asked questions by his future coworkers after he gets caught lying about being a doctor and veteran, tells the legislature that the angel Moroni has ordered him to kill them, gets expelled before he can even take his seat.
It’s almost as it we aren’t sending our best and brightest to the legislature. I wonder if we increased the pay rate, would we attract a better class of representative?
Suspiciously like the current Republican program nationwide; lies and murder regarding immigrants, Democrats, and others 
Sucking is not the answer for everything, Mr. Paul.
It’s telling about our times, that the part where he switched himself to Democrat in between the election and the inauguration, is what is most confusing.
I believe he somehow thought it would be a simple matter to have huge reservoirs of seawater in the hills just ready to be used for firefighting. At least I hope that was his idea and not that they’d have the Pipe to End All Pipes and the Pump to End All Pumps (powered by the whole electric grid) ready to stick into the sea. This is the sort of thing someone who has never lived near the actual sea or worked with actual seawater would think of.
Remind every town in Kentucky downstream from a dam to never have a big fire. This guy may have ideas on how to put it out.
Are there any bodies of fresh water anywhere near L.A.?
No natural ones of any major significance, that’s why Mulholland had to rape Owens Valley all the way in the Sierras to enable the expanding city to have a drinking water supply.
Yep: Los Angeles was famously built in a desert.
Well, it used to have a river.
A few days out of the year, anyway.
Hey! We got one now that runs down the corner from my condo! Been dry for almost a decade, but…
Perhaps it’s famous, but it’s wrong. Los Angeles gets about 14 inches of rain per year. Deserts get less than 10.
Not recently. 
I live about 7 miles from Pallisades fire. Alerts every 15 minutes. It’s just too dry right now. Last year, that fire probably wouldn’t have happened.
Except for some years, when the LA area really is that dry. I couldn’t find a definitive number for 2024, but since 2000 the following years had less than 10 inches of rain in the LA area:
2001 – 4.42 inches
2003 – 9.24
2006 – 3.21
2008 – 9.08
2011 – 8.69
2012 – 5.85
2013 – 6.08
2014 – 8.52
2015 – 9.65
2017 – 4.79
2020 – 5.82

LA might not officially be a desert but it certainly does have years when it is desert dry.
Agree. Not really important what it’s scientifically called; distinction without a difference in this case.
