Also 1990s, my school had an exception for boys who impregnated someone and had a pager to be notified when the mother was giving birth. Had to be kept in the principal’s office.
I’m particularly interested in highlighting the scientific method or historical method. Preferably with short episodes of ~10min and not too flashy/magical....
Elenor Wonders Why on PBS Kids. Each episode is ~ 20 minutes, broken into two ~ 10 minute stories. Cute animal kids explore nature and/or experiment in an inquiry-based manner. Many episodes have a song covering a history of science topic at the end of a segment. Animated with a calm, quiet aesthetic.
Adding on to my original answer, there are a bunch of shows on PBS Kids that will meet your criteria. Here are a few off the top of my head:
Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That. Covers nature and science topics. More about learning and interacting than experimenting. Also available on Tubi.
Work it Out Wombats. This one didn’t appeal to my kids so I’ve seen just a couple of episodes, but it’s about solving problems in a systematic manner.
Mega Wow. Live action. Only like 10 episodes but my kids are crazy about it right now. Hands on exploring of scientific topics.
Hahahaha! This contest is over! Give that man the First Annual Montgomery Burns… uh… Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Field of… uh… Excellence.
I’ve successfully repressed many of my Trump-era political memories.
Can anyone tell me how Republicans went from “we’ll be destroyed and we’ll deserve it” to “unggh, Daddy Trump, destroy me harder” between 2016 and 2017?
It’s always good to pay attention to news about the voting process, but the article points out that this isn’t anything nefarious:
“The voters whose registrations were deactivated have not voted in the past four years and have not responded to mail from election officials about their registration, according to a statement from the commission.
Every two years, the commission is required by law to identify voters who haven’t cast a ballot in at least four years and deactivate their records unless the voters indicate that they wish to remain registered.”
Keeping accurate and current voter registration records is useful. Voter fraud is close to non-existent, probably because if you register in multiple locations, you’ll definitely be identified. Knowing where to send absentee ballots is great, too.
Wisconsin has same-day voter registration, so it’s at worst a mild inconvenience for anyone whose registration was purged, hasn’t moved to a new place, and they still want to vote in an upcoming election.
Carbon steel unseasoned wok. I’ve used mine multiple times weekly for almost 20 years for stir frying and deep frying. Nothing fancy, just a Joyce Chen wok with some accessories that was $30 at Bed Bath Beyond (RIP). My mom has used hers for 50 years.
Oh, here’s another one. For people who do yard work, I’m a big fan of using a machete instead of a weed whacker machine. So much fun to let out your inner Star Wars Kid. I bought a cheapo $7 Walmart machete a few years ago and haven’t used the weed whacker since. And I expect the blade to last forever, unlike the string trimmers.
This is a big deal. I know a ton of people who want to go electric but worry about not having enough juice on the occasional road trip.
Whether that’s a valid reason for not going electric, that’s debatable. But it’s an important part of their decision-making process, so it needs to be addressed.
