It’s the occasional education thread, where teachers, students, parents, and anyone else with a stake in education can share their thoughts. It seemed a good time to post this, as it’s been a while, and we’ve all had about half … Continue reading Dark Sarcasm in the Classroom: What’s Going On?
Let’s start with the most important business: Delgado’s joke sucked. And not in a “dad joke” groaner kind of way. It’s just a bad joke and he should feel bad for wanting to tell it. There’s a way a joke … Continue reading The Expanse S5E09: Winnipesaukee
Like last time out, The Expanse this week centered on the story of Naomi Nagata. But instead of family-drama Naomi, we instead are treated to grease-monkey Naomi. And I like grease-monkey Naomi Nagata. In fact, the only Inaros action this … Continue reading The Expanse S5E08: Hard Vacuum
(The title is Lang Belta for “Goodbye,” by the way) Let us take a moment to thank the increased budget of the last two seasons for giving us the improved visual effects on display tonight. We’ve seen ship-to-ship combat on … Continue reading The Expanse S5E07: Oyedang

(If you missed my Episode 1 or have watched all three episodes already aired, I have linked at the end to the threads) So, as I was watching Amos’ return to Baltimore, I gotta say that a lot of what … Continue reading The Expanse S5E02: Churn
Hi everyone, and welcome to another season of my Expanse reviews! Last year, Amazon did me dirty by dropping all the episodes at once and guys… I’ve got a toddler. I can’t binge. This year though, I can do the … Continue reading The Expanse S5E01: Exodus
