And I fucking hate the caveats especially "NO CRIMINAL RECORD." People who have criminal records ALSO deserve dignity. OK.

I need someone who's a scholar of Nazi Germany to find similar editorials in Nazi newspapers complaining about their subscriber count falling. Were they always like this?

People aren't leaving; looks like more have arrived since we have. Someone just shouted "suck my dick" and the crowd joined in with a spontaneous "suck his dick!" chant.

just used truncate silence on an audiobook and it cut 2 hours of runtime. Please let me edit all audiobooks.

should i make a Heated Rivalry themed display? We don't have the book but I could just put out hockey books.

Something a lot of people refuse to internalize in this country is that cops (at all levels) are almost always rightwing in ideology.

The Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) would force social media platforms to filter and suppress content that the Trump admin is willing to argue makes kids "depressed" or "anxious." Videos of ICE murdering people make me pretty depressed and anxious, and I'm a grown ass adult. See where this is going?

9 million percent increase in assaults on ICE but apparently being dragged by a car is so rare they doxxed their own guy by mentioning it

Because we all need a little bit of joy today, I will never forget the little girl who peeked through our bookdrop and exclaimed loudly “mom, why are the librarians hiding back there? Are they NAKED???”

zeon soldier, laughing: hey, char - i went to the dicksucking factory and- char aznable, immediately: and i was employee of the month every goddamn month. zeon soldier: char: you think you can suck a dick as good as me, soldier? zeon soldier: no sir. char: that's right.

Digital asynchronous communication leads to accidental shitposts in Discord

“Hybrid” just means “onsite.” Can we be honest here.

2026 goals: write an article about Bataille for a library journal and work "fucking" into the final publication

Abolishing library late fees/any intervention to address car dependency: "One on hand, it's been objectively demonstrated to work by any useful metric but also I feel like it doesn't & it'd mean people I look down on get away with something & when you really think about it that's what's important."

For anyone trying to downplay what happened in Venezuela and say the US wouldn’t do it anywhere else, the Trump administration clearly feels it can do as it pleases — and plans to do just that. Mexico, Colombia, and Cuba are all in the crosshairs.

If you just stand outside on a street corner with a sign that says "no war but a class war" you will be morally correct 99% of the time over the Harvard educated ghouls that works at the elite liberal media institutions.

'Hands off Venezuela' -betrays the speakers own helplessness, a sad little demand dressed up like tough talk, unpleasant implication of sexual violence, innocence and victimhood 'Death to America'! -actionable, solves problems for many countries at once, actually makes people upset
