I have mixed feelings about this, but, then again, kids ARE idiots...
Here are some of the key details regarding school phone bans in France:
Policy Scope: France implemented the law banning mobile phones, tablets, and smartwatches for students in primary and middle schools.
Restricted Areas: The ban applies anywhere on school grounds, extending beyond classrooms to include break times.
Objectives: Officials intended to reduce distractions, combat cyberbullying, and encourage face-to-face interaction among students.
High School Exceptions: While younger students are restricted, individual high schools (lycées) may choose to implement their own internal regulations regarding phone use.
Now I'm sure some helicopter parents bitched about this, but if it keeps the kids from distractions and bullying, I guess I'm cool with the concept.

The fact that there actually is a record for this is disturbing on it's own. Now this guy owns it...
The technology project manager, who is his son’s assistant soccer coach, accomplished the frightening feat at the team’s last practice of the season. “As I explained what I was about to do, the parents’ faces told the story: disbelief and genuine concern,” Rush, who has competed on “America’s Got Talent,” explained on his website.
Rush, who holds the most concurrent Guinness World Records titles, with over 350, actually set the record last May, but the record book just confirmed it this year. He explained that to qualify for the record, “the chainsaw has to cut wood before the attempt begins, and the blade must remain engaged and spinning for the entire duration.”
“I had a safety crew stationed nearby with one job: unplug the saw the moment it fell,” he added. Although he is not interested in attempting the perilous record again, Rush said he’s pleased with his unusual accomplishment.
I'm sorry I have to admit this, but whenever I see people doing stupid shit like this, I get a weird, vicarious thrill out of it. I worry more for myself than I do guys like this. Juss' sayin'...
Yeah - go ahead and tell me somebody ain't payin' these jagoffs...
Check out the names of the organizations they supposedly represent. Ever heard of any of 'em? Neither have I. Every one of them is probably legit legal-wise, and just front organizations for someone to funnel cash to them. The hand-printed signs are a new twist, like we don't know they were all printed out by the same couple of people in just one group. Or maybe - just maybe - it's a coincidence that they all went to 'Posters 'R US' and bought the same paper and markers.
Anyway, a report this afternoon indicated that these dooshbag Anti-ICE protesters are pooling cash to deliver riot gear to the front lines of the ongoing chaos in Newark outside the Delaney Hall detention center - fueling criticism that the mayhem is a well-funded, coordinated effort.
Donations are pouring in to help the protesters buy “helmets” and “knee/wrist/shin/arm guards” along with military-grade goggles to stay outside Delaney Hall, according to one list blasted out on social media by lefty political activist group the 50501 Movement — which was behind the No Kings anti-President Trump rallies.
The protesters specifically listed MIL-PRF-32432 shatterproof goggles on their wish list — which is considered “U.S. military specification” that ensures protection from “battlefield-level projectile threats.”
Just protestors you say? I call bullshit. They're martyrs, and they don't even know it yet.
Man overboard!
He hung on as long as he could - that is to say he stayed there 'till he finished his fifth Pina Colada. This is the semi-dramatic moment a guy is forced to jump from a sinking pirate-themed party boat off the coast of Turkey. Video footage shows the passenger leaping from the side of the ship as it quickly begins to tip at a terrifying angle before being submerged underwater.
The man splashes into the water close to a small dinghy packed with other survivors. The “Big Boss Diamond” boat, beloved by holidaymakers (that that word Brits like to use), sank near Paradise Island on the Mediterranean coast on Friday.
All 148 people onboard were forced to abandon ship as their dream day on the funky ole' fake pirate ship turned into chaos. Everyone was safely brought to shore. Another of my 412 reasons to avoid being in any kinda crowd. That mighta seemed like fun 50 years ago, but...

Why do they bother - it's not like they're gonna change any of these kids' minds...
A MAGA influencer was attacked again in California - this time on a college campus by a masked transgender person (although the gender-switch was not revealed. Hmmm) who was seen throwing a bucket of mystery liquid (looked like diarrhea, but what do I know) on him as he spoke with two students.
In a video posted on Instagram, Ryley Niemi and “Off The Record USA” were shown on the University of California Santa Cruz campus speaking with students when a black-clad masked dooshbag he claimed was transgender tossed the liquid and ran off like little friggin' girlie. Why do they bother? Read some of the comments on the video...
It's a $55 million swing and a win-win for CBS. But who gives a shit?
CBS has transformed a significant financial drain in its late-night programming into a steady profit through a strategic agreement that shifts operational responsibility to independent producer Byron Allen. For years, CBS says the network absorbed annual losses of $40 million on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, a figure that reflected high production costs, fluctuating ad revenue, and the intense competition in the late-night television landscape. That situation has now reversed. Under the new arrangement, CBS generates $15 million in annual profit from the same time slot, creating a $55 million positive swing in the network’s financial position.
The deal centers on Byron Allen leasing the 11:35 p.m. Eastern time slot from CBS. Allen pays the network $15 million per year for access to the valuable broadcast real estate. In exchange, he assumes full responsibility for all aspects of content and advertising sales. CBS no longer bears the burden of funding production, booking guests, or chasing advertisers for the program. This hands-off approach allows the network to collect guaranteed revenue while eliminating the previous red ink.

There are days - like today and yesterday - when nothing that's happening 'in the news' is even worth mentioning, but I probably will somehow anyway. Juss' sayin'...

A bombshell California Post poll conducted with McLaughlin & Associates shows the reality TV star-turned-mayoral candidate has surged to a statistical tie with the incumbent mayor. And voters blame homelessness, affordability and the direction of Los Angeles as the reason for turning on Bass.
Pratt now leads the field with 30.1% support, compared with 29.5% for Bass, setting up a razor-thin race heading into next week’s primary.

30 May 1944 Generalfeldmarschall Erwin Rommel inspecting the 21.Panzer Division in Normandy.
Rommel believed that the invasion needed to be stopped on the beaches, Gerd von Rundstedt the Commander-in-chief West, along with Geyr von Schweppenburg (Panzer Group West) disagreed. Hitler vacillated and placed the armour in the middle, far enough back to be useless to Rommel, not far enough for von Rundstedt. As a result of this, the 21st Panzer was placed near Caen, in the area of the British /Canadian landings.
If they had been released during the night of the 5th-6th they could have been on the beachhead waiting for the Allies to land. The SS units that were supposed to support the division could not be released as they were under Hitler's direct command.

Just another canopy road...
These old-growth grand oaks form a canopy over this dirt road a half mile from my house. Spanish moss hanging from the branches add another layer to the canopy. It's an idealic spot. Look around where you live - you might find beauty surrounds you...
