Excerpt from an article in the Hard Times today ("satire news source" like the Onion, but centered around punk subculture.)

"Isaac Newton, Marie Curie, the bald boy from Prison Break; every generation has their super genius...Anyway… Caleb Green, Upper Grader at James Tiberius Hussein Elementary, is leaving teachers and classmates dumbfounded with his scholarship. Despite being in just fifth grade, the boy is already reading at a fifth-grade level!

“We’re talking Hatchet. We’re talking The Wild Robot. We’re talking Tuck Everlasting — out loud ...,” says teacher Mrs. Burzynski, Caleb’s teacher.  “He can even spell ‘effort’ correctly (minus the second f) without looking it up!”...

...In the middle of an active literacy crisis, it’s refreshing to see the torch of literary adequacy being passed down. As Green himself puts it, “reading is my light at the end of the tunnel…it shows me that, even in darkness, there is a tunnel.” He then asked the reporter to list synonyms for tunnels and laughed so hard at the word “shaft” that he had to be taken to the hospital. We wish him a speedy recovery!"

Hi everybody,

I recently responded to an old request for a new moderator, and would like to see if we can build a little community here. Looking for other punk enthusiasts, interested in discussing and doing something about the times we're living in. And you know, the music.

So, anybody else out there, interested in all two of these things?

P.S.- For now, we'll just use the same rules as r/punk, except that I'd love to see some memes sometimes.
