Bro how out of touch with your colleagues do you have to be to not know it's AI. Have you literally never heard someone around you talk about it? No one on TV? You've never said it aloud to someone who corrected you?

Apparently she started out saying AI, then switched to A1 mid-statement. Might have been corrected privately before, but it only partially took.
Will A1 replace ketchup as an official vegetable on school menus?
They hate education because they're morons
OKay, but did they have to use such a good photo, and now I want A1.
The secretary of education is so educated

The tech and sauce are both overrated.
A1 is delicious, just terrible for a good steak
HP makes shit printers, but great sauce
Pro‘s everywhere. A masterclass of its own. 🤷🏼♂️
How much are crackerjacks these days?
As a descendent of German migrants, I’m officially dropping the “American” from “German-American.” I no longer want to be associated with this level of stupidity.
I always find this kind of silly. You were born and raised in the USA, so you're American, whether you like it or not. There's people saying they're Irish American despite 3 generations having passed, so when does it end? Am I Dutch-Norwegian because my great grandmother was Norwegian and came to The Netherlands?
No, I'm Dutch, I was born and raised here without influence of the Norwegian culture.
But in the US it is a cultural thing. Like Italian-Americans have a different culture from other Americans and from current day Italians. The US is a big place, with many different cultures and people like Europe. It's like if I said to you that you are European so stop calling yourself Dutch.
In US. Grew up with family speaking itallian when I was young. I am not itallian, even though one day I may get citizenship there. And, the fact is:
What you are saying just isn't true. People want it to be, but it isn't. If you go from your house to someone else's, it is the same, maybe lunch is different. If you go from a British house to a French one, so much is different, exponentially more so. That doesn't even take into account the surrounding infrastructure.
The cold hard truth is that everyone who is actually Itallian is laughing at you for thinking otherwise..

She doesn't have the job because she's smart.
She has the job because she's on their side.

Secretary of Education - that would be Linda McMahon: politician, business executive, and former professional wrestling promoter.
Jesus Fucking Christ no wonder the world laughs at us. "You want I should teach dem skools a lesson, boss?"
It's so American to be ashamed of the world laughing at us, and not at all the heinous shit we've done.
Maybe it's also American to understand I was expressing shame at being heinous, I dunno.
I feel barely human most days, because we are all collectively heinous, so I must have missed that.
Agriculture was a mistake.
The real trouble starts when you hit the two rocks together.
Nah, the rocks are fine. It's putting seeds in the ground that's the problem. That's how the seeds get you to do their bidding.
I'm fully onboard that you past shouldn't matter if you're good. I won't hold it against Linda McMahon for her WWE performances etc. But she's an odd cookie and has no place running education.
Yeah that's really my point. The head of any government department should have past experience related to what that department does. Same requirement as for ANY job - you don't get hired as head chef if you've never even worked in a kitchen FFS. Trump's appointments are a festival of incompetence.
Vince McMahon‘s daughter is the secretary of education?
"Only puny cucks don't love Brawndo!" * powerbombs Bernie Sanders into folding tables from top turnbuckle *
No, it’s his wife, who has collaborated in a bunch of his fucked up endeavors, likely including helping with sex trafficking.
Don't think so, she's only 3 years younger (76).
Oh. Must be his wife
The law firm I work for has been tracking his EO's, and we've had to put a disclaimer on our pages this week because WH office staff keep putting the wrong articles under the wrong URL's and we don't want our clients to think it's us making these stupid mistakes.
He's literally just hiring his stupid pals and firing competent workers.

Can barely comment on this stuff anymore because of the literal horror being inflicted
We still have a secretary of education?
We have the wife of the world's most famous pro wrestling promoter, who someone gave the title of Secretary of Education. You may ask why the the wife of the world's most famous pro wrestling promoter is Secretary of Education. As in, that is a question that may be asked.

People seem to be missing the one positive piece of news here: She's literate!
The only person who would make this mistake is someone who read "AI" in an ambiguous font. I know it's a low bar, but this means that the secretary of education is able to read.

Considering Vince McMahon didn't know what a burrito was, I'm not particularly surprised.
Madigan told PWTorch editor Wade Keller: "It's one of these stories that always repeats itself. I think the idea was they were trying to work an angle with Big Show and - like Andre (the Giant), here's a guy who is so physically big and physically imposing - what can you do to get over on Big Show? And how are you going to do it?
"I think they were going to poison Big Show and give him a spiked burrito. The whole concept was: 'We're going to spike his food, spike the burrito, you cut to a vignette before that showing him eating it, and then he passes out in the ring.' So, Vince goes, 'Burrito?! Who the hell knows what a burrito is?' It was such a far concept. And everyone in the room goes, 'Well, we know what a burrito is.' And Vince goes, 'Well, where the hell have I been?'
"But, the funny thing is, Wade, every day at noon, Vince's secretary would walk into the office - the writing room - with a burrito. It was a steak-wrap cut in half. And he would put ketchup on it. Every day, he was eating a burrito and not knowing what it was. But, that's the idea - when you're in a bubble and in a business where you're ostracized from society, it's you and them, that's it. Everyone else is an outsider, so things like that do make sense in the confines of the wrestling world."
Ketchup on a burrito that you don't know is called a burrito is up there with putting ketchup on a well-done steak
