Nice
Cities arenโt scary.
You are scared.
Thereโs a difference
Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you:
Our funding depends on usage.
So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.
Great. Now do something about it.
I asked ChatGPT what will I be?
Will I be pretty? Will I be rich?
Here's what it said to me:
Que sera, sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que sera, sera
STICK YOUR HAND IN THE GARBAGE DISPOSAL
labubu? aren't those just injuries in france?
Thereโs been a robust discussion on the #StarTrek subreddit about cancelling @paramountplus.com even though a new season of SNW just started. This is such a big deal because Trekkies are very hard core.
make art! if it's the end of the world, you might as well make art! if it's not the end of the world, then the future will be better because people made art right now!
My point is, the US has been involved in conflict in the Middle East in one form or another for almost my entire life.
Leave us millennials alone. Weโre tired and weโre not going back.
We pulled out of Afghanistan 2021.
And nowโฆ?
I remember the โshock and aweโ campaign against Iraq in 2003. I had just graduated high school and many of my friends and classmates put their lives on hold to serve in the ongoing conflict.
I remember the 2001 invasion of Afghanistan. I was a senior in high school. I was 17.
One of my earliest memories and the first big news story I remember was the begining of Desert Storm in 1991. I was 7 years old.
Weโre honored to report that over 11 million showed up for todayโs No Kings protest, and totals are still coming in. Justโฆ wow. WOW ๐ฎ! Thereโs nothing more to say.
A woman walking home alone was shot point-blank with โnon-lethalโ rounds fired by officers in Los Angeles. A neighbor filmed the assault and rushed to help only to be fired on and ordered back.
While I share everyoneโs amusement at the very public falling out of two unrepentant narcissists, can we not compare them to a gay couple gojng through a messy breakup? Please by all means give them the ridicule they deserve, but gay jokes during pride month are a bad look.
Foxx: This is the American Dream story they all claim to support. Iโm a first-generation American, raised by a single mom in Section 8 housing. SNAP benefitsโfood stampsโput food on our table.
Those social safety netsโthey are not handouts, they are hand-ups.
You want June to be Veterans Month instead of Pride? November is already Veterans Month.
If you donโt already know that, you donโt care about veterans. You just hate gay people.
I think Iโll listen to the Boss todayโฆ
Itโs really striking how irregular the bands of mostly men conducting federal immigration enforcement are. They seem to have no particular uniform, they wear a variety of different agency initials on their tactical vests, or none at all, theyโre inconsistent about displaying a badgeโฆ
I made 38K my first year teaching in Arkansas. I held a BA.
I made 41K in Missouri after 16 years of teaching. I held an MA.
See the problem?
A Chicago Pope implies the existence of an MLA Pope and APA Pope
American Pope is the name of my Bad Religion cover band.
Linda McMahon, Secretary of Education, sent Harvard a letter.
They graded it.
Bwahahaha.
THE PENTAGON BUDGET JUST HIT A TRILLION DOLLARS.
Not a single pundit from either political party said โhow are we going to pay for it?!โ
Donโt dare tell us we cannot ALL have healthcare, housing, and education.
I like telling authoritarians where to shove it in multiple languages
A reminder that every small bit of good you do - whether it be putting art into the world, helping a friend or stranger, donating to a good cause, or just listening to someone who needs to vent - offsets all the evil in the world just a little bit. And sometimes that's just what the world needs.
Safety message: Make your coffee before assisting others with their coffee.
