🗑 🏆 Worst opinion of the week: school committee member Wycall scaring herself nearly to tears over hypothetical situations about trans kids playing in sports. Is she okay? Can someone check on her, please?

Town Council (December 1)

drama

Conservatives are big angry over making the school buses woke and gay (electric). It’s weird, too, because the school committee voted to not include the EVs on the capital request. A big stink about something that wasn’t even real — the quintessential reactionary leitmotif.

Perhaps it is you, Councilor LaPietra, who lacks the bandwidth to understand capital requests?

School Committee (December 3)

drama

Genital Inspector General (Children’s Department) Bob Chiaradio made an appearance to farm Rumble clips, a normal thing for an old man to have as his life’s work and digital legacy.

“I can’t stand fence-sitters,” says he. I agree, king: please do us all a favor and stay in your Facebook boomer hugbox where you justify your pedophilic impulses to fellow God-fearing Christians, okay? Have some goddamn shame, you balding creep.

Alternatively, send me some of that TPU money and I’ll shut up forever, probably.

actual government stuff

  • Presentation about RICAS/SAT scores

  • Presentation about next year’s program of studies

  • Almost everything else tabled for procedural reasons
