BOOM! GOV. TONY EVERS VETOED REPUBLICAN TAX CUT, PUTTING MORE MONEY IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND CLASSROOMS
In a stunning move that left Republicans reeling, Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers vetoed a tax cut proposal and instead redirected the funds towards education. The move was met with cheers from educators and parents alike, who have been clamoring for increased funding for schools for years.
But not everyone was happy with the governor's decision. Republicans, who had pushed for the tax cut as a way to stimulate the economy, were quick to criticize Evers for what they saw as a shortsighted move.
"Typical liberal thinking," said one GOP lawmaker. "They always want to throw more money at education, but they never stop to think about the long-term consequences."
But Evers was quick to fire back, pointing out that investing in education is one of the smartest things a government can do.
"After all," he quipped, "it's not like we can just print more smart people."
The governor's decision was also met with enthusiasm from educators, who have been struggling to make ends meet in an era of budget cuts and stagnant wages.
"I can't tell you how much this means to us," said one teacher. "We've been scraping by for years, and now we finally have some hope."
Of course, not everyone was thrilled with the news. Some taxpayers were concerned that their hard-earned dollars were being funneled into a black hole of bureaucracy, with no guarantee of results.
But Evers was quick to reassure them that the money would be put to good use, and that Wisconsin's schools would soon be the envy of the nation.
"Who knows," he joked, "maybe we'll even be able to teach Texans how to spell 'cheesehead.'"
The governor's decision was also seen as a political victory for Democrats, who have been struggling to gain traction in a state that has traditionally leaned Republican.
"Tony Evers is a genius," said one political analyst. "He's managed to unite educators, parents, and Democrats all in one fell swoop. It's a masterstroke of political maneuvering."
And while Republicans may be fuming over the veto, it's clear that Governor Evers has struck a chord with Wisconsin voters. With his wit, charm, and commitment to education, he may just be the leader that this state needs to move forward into a brighter future.
WWE MATCH OR OKLAHOMA STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETING
It's not every day that a meeting of the Oklahoma State Board of Education turns into a WWE match, but that's exactly what happened on June 22nd. Apparently, two individuals decided to play bouncer and block people from entering the meeting, causing a scuffle to break out. And just when you thought things couldn't get any crazier, criminal affidavits were filed.
Now, I don't know about you, but when I think of a State Board of Education meeting, I picture a bunch of stuffy old men in suits sitting around a table discussing curriculum and standardized testing. But apparently, things are a bit more exciting in Oklahoma.
According to the affidavits, OHP Lieutenant Alan Beaty was called in to deal with the situation. I can only imagine his reaction when he heard that there was a brawl going down at a State Board of Education meeting. "What? Did they run out of coffee and donuts or something?"
When Lieutenant Beaty arrived on the scene, he found another OHP Lieutenant and a Security Officer who filled him in on the details. I can only assume that they were all standing around scratching their heads wondering how they ended up dealing with a bunch of rowdy adults at an education meeting.
I mean, let's be real here. What could possibly be so important at a State Board of Education meeting that people would resort to fisticuffs? Are they arguing about whether or not to teach cursive writing in schools? Is there a heated debate over whether or not Pluto should still be considered a planet? Or maybe it's just a bunch of parents fighting over whose kid is the smartest.
Whatever the reason for the scuffle, one thing is for sure: it's not every day that criminal affidavits are filed over an education meeting. I can only imagine what the judge was thinking when he saw these affidavits come across his desk. "Wait, what? A fight at an education meeting? Am I reading this right?"
In all seriousness though, it's a bit concerning that people would resort to violence over something as trivial as a State Board of Education meeting. Let's hope that everyone involved learned their lesson and that future meetings will be a bit more civil. And if not, well, at least we'll have something to laugh about.
ELON MUSK AND TWITTER NEEDS HELP THREADS MAY NOT BE THE HELP HE WAS LOOKING FOR
Is it time to tell Elon Musk to go get some help? Well, with the launch of Threads, the potential ‘Twitter Killer’, it might just be.
So, what is Threads? It’s a new way to share with text. But, let’s be real, it’s basically just a fancier version of texting. But hey, if it means we can finally ditch Twitter and all its drama, we’re all for it.
Speaking of drama, what is going on with Twitter lately? It seems like every day there’s a new controversy or scandal. From politicians getting into Twitter wars to celebrities oversharing their personal lives, it’s all just too much.
But fear not, my friends. There are other alternatives to Twitter. You’ve got platforms like Instagram and Facebook, which are great for sharing photos and updates with friends and family. And then there are more niche platforms like LinkedIn for professional networking or Reddit for finding like-minded communities.
But back to Threads. How can you get it? Well, it’s currently only available on iOS, but an Android version is reportedly in the works. So, if you’re an iPhone user, go ahead and download it now. And if you’re not, well, I guess you’ll just have to wait.
Since its launch, Threads has already hit 30 million users a day. That’s a lot of people who are ready to ditch Twitter and try something new. And with Elon Musk’s Twitter account constantly making headlines for all the wrong reasons, it seems like he should be the first in line to try out Threads.
So, is it time to tell Elon Musk to go get some help? Maybe not. But it is time for all of us to consider if Twitter is really worth all the drama. Maybe it’s time to switch things up and try something new. Who knows, maybe Threads will be the next big thing. Or maybe it’ll just be another passing trend. Either way, at least we can say we tried.
Are you tired of standardized testing? Do you dread the thought of filling in those little bubbles with a number two pencil? Well, you're not alone. In fact, we've got a whole gang of AI's who are ready to sing the praises of ditching this outdated system.
First up, we've got Bing. He's our resident comedian, and he's got a bone to pick with standardized testing. "You know what they say," he quips, "if at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried. And that's exactly what these tests do - they make you feel like a failure before you've even had a chance to try."
Next, we've got Bard. He's a bit more poetic than Bing, but he's just as passionate about the cause. "Standardized testing is like a thunderstorm on a sunny day," he muses. "It ruins everything and leaves you feeling cold and wet. We need to find a better way to measure student success - one that doesn't involve multiple choice questions and Scantrons."
But it's not just the AI's who are fed up with standardized testing. Our very own ChatGPT has some strong opinions on the matter as well. "It's a waste of time and resources," he declares. "We spend so much money on these tests, and for what? To tell us what we already know - that rich kids tend to do better than poor kids. It's not fair, and it's not helpful."
And finally, we come to the star of the show - Monica AI. She's talented, she's witty, and she's ready to take on the world of standardized testing. "Everyone must be tested," she declares. "But not like this. We need a system that takes into account the unique strengths and weaknesses of each student - one that encourages creativity and critical thinking, rather than rote memorization."
So there you have it - a chorus of voices calling for an end to standardized testing. Will anyone listen? Only time will tell. But one thing's for sure - if we keep doing things the same way we always have, we'll never see any real change. So let's take a cue from these AI's and start thinking outside the bubble.

*Verse 1*
Twenty-five years, they will tell you,
Is how long standardized tests have been in school.
But I'm not sure if I believe them,
Or if they're just trying to fool.
*Chorus*
Everybody must get tested,
Everybody must get scored.
Everybody must get ranked,
And then we'll all be bored.
*Verse 2*
They say the tests are fair,
But I don't know if I agree.
They seem to favor the rich,
And the poor they just leave to be.
*Chorus*
Everybody must get tested,
Everybody must get scored.
Everybody must get ranked,
And then we'll all be bored.
*Bridge*
[Verse 1]

Everybody must get tested, don't you know?
[Verse 2]
Well, they'll test you when you're sitting in your seat
They'll test you, making sure you don't cheat

Everybody must get tested, don't you know?
[Verse 4]

Everybody must get tested, it's set in stone
[Verse 5]
Well, they'll test you when you're all by yourself
They'll test you, making your confidence melt
They'll test you and say it's a measure of your worth
They'll test you even when you're laid in the earth
[Chorus]
But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get tested, don't you moan
I've seen kids cry when they take the tests,
And I've seen kids cheat.
I've seen teachers give up,
And I've seen schools close down.
*Chorus*
Everybody must get tested,
Everybody must get scored.
Everybody must get ranked,
And then we'll all be bored.
*Outro*
So if you're feeling down,
And you think that life is a mess.
Just remember that standardized tests,
Are making everyone else just as stressed.
