I’m not sure of its origins in the US, but ‘spastic’ used to be the term for someone with cerebral palsy - there was a UK charity called ‘The Spastics Society’.

‘The boy’s 47-year-old mother, her other son, 12, and daughter, eight, were located at around 20:30 by a rescue helicopter. They were found clinging to a paddleboard about 14km offshore.’
The way they’ve put it, it sounds like the rescue helicopter was clinging to a paddleboard when it found them!

I used to follow a guy on Tumblr who ended up watching a lot of daytime TV while recuperating from surgery.
He came to the conclusion that wrestling was essentially a soap opera designed to be socially acceptable for men to watch.


The LA signed up the local primary schools with the free tier of M365 for Education years ago. It gives them access to email and SharePoint, which is all most of them need.
Asking cash-strapped schools to pay for something they can get for free (teachers are all over ChatGPT and Canva) isn’t going to get 'em very far, no matter how many orifices they try to jam Copilot into.
