Taylor Mali – What Teachers Make (a classic)
Transcript: He says, “The problem with teachers is what’s a kid gonna learn from someone who decided his best option in life is to become a teacher?” [Laughs] He reminds the other dinner guests that “It’s true what they say about teachers – that those who can, do, and those who can’t, teach.” [Laughs] I decide to bite my tongue instead of his and resist the urge to remind the other dinner guests that it’s also true what they say about lawyers, because we’re eating after all, and this is polite conversation. “I mean, you’re a teacher, Taylor. Be honest – what do you make?” and I wish he hadn’t done that – asked me to nebe honest – because, you see, I have a policy about honesty and ass-kicking, which is if you ask for it, then I have to let you have it.
I make kids work harder than they ever thought they could. I can make an C+ feel like a Congressional Medal of Honor, and I can make an A- feel like a slap in the face – “How dare you waste my time with anything less than your very best.”
You want to know what I make? I make kids sit through 40 minutes of study hall in absolute silence. “No, you cannot work in groups…. Why won’t I let you go to the bathroom? Because you’re bored and you don’t really have to go.”
You want to know what I make? I make parents tremble in fear when I call home at around dinnertime. “I just want to talk to you about something that your son did. He said, ‘Leave the kid alone. I still cry sometimes. Don’t you?’ and it was the noblest act of courage that I have ever seen.” I make parents see their children for who they are, and who they can be. can be
You want to know what I make? I make kids question. I make them criticize and make them apologize. I make them read, I make them write write write, I make them spell “definitely beautiful” over and over and over until they can never misspell either one of those words again. I make them show all their work in math, and then hide it on their final drafts in English. I make them realize that if you’ve got this [points to head] then you follow this [points to heart] and if somebody tries to judge you based on what you think you give them this [shows middle finger].
Let me break it down for you so you know what I say is true: I make a goddamn difference now what about you

Beau – Let’s talk about bad news for DeJoy and good news for the postal service…. Apparently this process was under Beau’s radar – wee all knew exactly how this would go, just not when. And, yes, DeJoy gifted Bloom a whole lot of money in stock. It wasn’t 4D chess. It was just a President who knows how government works.
Glenn Kirschner – House Committee Issues Subpoenas for Roger Stone & Others; Moving Up the Insurrection Food Chain (Working up the foos chain always made sense to me. Start at the top, you may wind up giving a plea bargain to the actual criminal, and executing [almost] an innicent person. That’s what happened to Julius Jones.)
Meidas Touch – Elie Mystal: What if Black people stormed the Capitol on Jan 6?
Don Winslow Films – #ShockingUnansweredJan6Questions Well, I can answer one question – the reason it took so long between forming the committee and the first subpoenas was because they had a ton of documents – and voluntary testimony – they needed to get through first. That is not just a theory, at least one person on the committee has said so publicly. And it makes sense. A good lowyer never asks a question of a witness to which he or she doesn’t already know tha answer. (I can answer a few of the others too, but I couldn’t back up those answers as I can with this one.)
