Annie Dillard Was a Real One: The Woman Who Understood That Seeing the World Is Not the Same as Understanding It

Annie Dillard spent her life examining the extraordinary mysteries hiding inside ordinary existence. Her passing reminds me that the greatest writers don't simply teach us how to read the world. They force us to confront how little of it we've actually bothered to see. There is something profoundly unsettling about losing a writer who spent her entire life reminding us that everything was temporary in the first place. It's almost as though death, that arrogant bastard, decided to interrupt a conversation about its own inevitability. And in the case of Annie Dillard, the irony is particularly cruel because few writers understood the strange relationship between life, suffering, beauty, and mortality quite like she did. Annie Dillard died on September 15, 2026, at the age of 81. The world lost a Pulitzer Prize-winning author, an extraordinary essayist, a fearless intellectual, and a woman who possessed the increasingly endangered ability to look at something ordinary and reco...

Project 2025: The Plan to Close Public Schools – Because Who Needs Education Anyway?


Well, folks, just when you thought the headlines couldn’t get any more absurd, here comes Project 2025. Apparently, some bright sparks in the Republican Party have decided that the best way to improve education is to, well, eliminate it. Check out the full comedy of errors here: https://time.com/7001264/project-2025-public-school-closure/

The Genius Plan

So, the masterminds behind Project 2025 think closing public schools is the way to go. It’s like deciding the best way to win a race is to stop running. Imagine that meeting: “Hey, I’ve got an idea! Let’s fix the education system by making sure no one gets an education!” Genius, right?

Let’s Just Cancel Learning

Closing public schools to improve education is like canceling a flight to improve air travel. It’s the political equivalent of throwing the baby out with the bathwater, and then wondering why there’s no baby anymore.

The Great Minds Behind the Plan

These are the same folks who probably think you can lose weight by eating more cake or save money by spending more. Their logic is impeccable, as long as you ignore reality, common sense, and every educational study ever conducted.

What’s Next? Cancel Hospitals?

If closing schools is their idea of progress, what’s next? Close hospitals to improve healthcare? Shut down fire departments to prevent fires? It’s like they’re living in an opposite world where everything is backwards.

Education Is Overrated Anyway

Who needs an educated population? Clearly not these Republicans. Why bother with things like literacy, critical thinking, or science when you can just wing it? Who cares if kids grow up not knowing how to read or write as long as they can parrot political talking points, right?

The Real Plan: Keep ‘Em Dumb

It’s almost as if the goal is to keep the populace as uninformed as possible. An uneducated electorate is easier to control, after all. Keep ‘em dumb, keep ‘em voting. It’s a strategy as old as time, but dressed up in new, ridiculous clothes.

Conclusion: The Joke’s on Us

So here we are, watching the circus unfold. If you’re wondering how we got to this point, look no further than the people who think closing schools is a smart move. It’s laughable, it’s tragic, and it’s the kind of political theater that makes you wonder if we’re all just extras in a bad sitcom.

Stay tuned for the next episode of “What Will They Think of Next?” and remember, folks: keep your kids in school, because clearly, some people missed a few too many classes.
