Would be careful. This is a $250 fine with no points, correct? You were caught by a camera actually on the school bus. The alternative if you were caught by a police officer is $570 with 3 points on your license. Unless you totally do not have the ability to pay this fine, I would just recommend paying it. Judges may not feel like excusing passing school buses with red lights flashing.

Parents are limited during school hours. After school activities use the school, including media room, every day. I am in my kid's hcpss school's media room once a week for scouts and could easily rearrange a shelf to stage a photo. I am not saying this photo is staged, but something seems off about it. I doubt it was a school official because they were complaining about it, but again, there isn't a great way of knowing for sure.

Sugarloaf Mountain area. Haven’t been in a really long time. But I recall lots of hiking, from east to difficult trails.

there's like ten books in a library of 300+ (I can't count don't @ me)

this is absurd

I don't have a child in the school system but I live in HoCo and feel like I need to show up to this to counter the mob

edit: also, so many people in those comments are like "ooh Grandpa's Camper sounds suspicious!!!1!" while if you go look up the plot summary it's actually a very sweet story about a girl who inspires her grandfather to go adventuring again. This is infuriating.

Ok, now what if you were part of an interracial couple and you posted a picture of you and your partner having just gotten married, smiling for the camera. And then a white supremacist social media account retweets it saying “Look at this marriage that happened today…” And suddenly you and your partner find yourself getting nasty messages and threats.

The white supremacist account merely reposted it telling people to take a look. Are you saying that you are at fault here because you posted the original content?

The account knows what it’s doing. It’s sharing things to rile up its audience. That should be obvious. Context IS content, and context includes audience and purpose.

In a similar vein, you can create Korean salad bowls at Bibibop at the mall, though a bibimbap is normally a rice bowl. You can choose a bed of salad greens instead of rice, and then choose your main protein and other toppings.

Most parents aren’t allowed in schools right now because of covid restrictions. The ones that are can only go with an employee and aren’t allowed to take pictures. That photo came from hcpss. Whether it was from the official hcpss account or an account from one of the schools run by the media specialist I don’t know but it wasn’t from a parent.
