Bluesky hits Capitol Hill (and Jimmy Kimmel)

It speaks to the necessity of winning these midterms in a landslide."

polio. we have to worry about polio now.

This century is sucking up all the propaganda and stoopid it can and ruining everything for everyone.

Have a class tonight and noticed in my vocab list words for verbs to fail, to quit, to cry. I feel all of these. But I know my tutor won’t stand for me to use these to express an intention. Great teachers keep their students going!

The fact that Leonardo and Michelangelo could exist at the same time, in the same place, making historically great art simultaneously, but Michelangelo hated him is both fascinating and sad.

How a High School Librarian in Abilene Fought Back Against Moms for Liberty I entered this profession just as the storm clouds of the current book-banning push were starting to gather; now I’m in the middle of it.

New from Kalyn Gensic: "I entered this profession just as storm clouds of the current book-banning push were starting to gather, but I enrolled in a librarian program hoping it would pass me like lamb’s blood was painted on my doorframe.

Google summary of scenes re ill-fitting shoes metaphor in KDrama Designated Survivor: 60 Days

There’s a #kdrama where the Pres forces an underling to wear ill-fitting shoes. Underling survives; Pres doesn’t 🤔 Just FYI this is a Google AI summary but pretty accurate
