This drives me insane every time I see it. It's not a monopoly, even though Overdrive is basically the only interface. And it's not a monospony even though all libraries basically play by the same rules under the same conditions. It's a secret third thing related to public-private partnerships.

2024 was about the general inflation backlash that sank almost every incumbent party in the world and bigots (including the folks running the newsroom at the Times) overindexed on a nonexistent trans rights backlash if this is the playbook they run in the fall they will get obliterated

3 years in the making let’s goooooooooo!

just got a bill for something from my son's birth (he is 21 months old) we love the US healthcare system don't we folks?

have to hand this one to the Engineer in Public Works, this is in fact critical for ensuring the development conforms to neighborhood character

solidarity with all the children out there throwing tantrums. stay strong. you WILL get what you want

I have begrudgingly come around on a handful of zoomer fashion things but you will NEVER see me in stupid tiny sunglasses

4.5yo in the Waffle House parking lot: I’m not hungry I’m not going to eat anything as soon as the server comes over: alright I want a waffle with nuts, chocolate milk, bacon, and toast

No son, they are not "magically delicious." The workers made them delicious. This is a slogan meant to mystify the social conditions of labor

'what is grandad made of?' took me ages to answer, and then I said 'meat' which I wasn't totally happy with

my two kids have finally reached the “playing together” stage (they are throwing large jugs of vinegar at each other in the kitchen)

stupid dog doesn’t appreciate what a good life he has, I would kill to take 30mg of trazodone and go to the hair salon

This part of our response essay is where I'm at. Boiling down all of politics to electoralism has been absolutely terrible for resisting rising authoritarianism. www.bostonreview.net/forum/how-no...

unfortunately the only thing worse than a 2.5 hour weeknight class is fully online classes

tired: 4th cup of coffee wired: 4th cup of coffee

now is the time for believing in things and courageously standing up for those things you believe in. do not care about how you think things should be worded or how not to overplay whatever hand. we're past that

what kind of establishment would you guess this is based on this rendering?

stupid question but here we are: if we’re getting over a foot of snow, is it helpful to salt our sidewalk beforehand? or is that just going to create a layer of ice under all the snow and make it harder to clear?

If you work for ice please understand that your kids will laugh at a character based on you dying in an action movie before the end of the decade. They’ll be in movies for really little kids. Like Phineas and Ferb shit. There will be an action figure of you with a detachable head

WSJ investigation: In the past 6 months ICE agents have fired at vehicles 13 times, leading to: * 8 people shot * 5 of which were U.S. citizens * 2 died * no victims drew a weapon The playbook: Agents box in a vehicle, block attempts to flee, then fire www.wsj.com/us-news/vide...

over the past year and a half I have watched the price of 2 Wizzburgers rise from $7.88 to $8.88 and now $9.37

If AI videos become so good you can’t tell what’s real or not I’ll just never watch a video again. Whatever

a little on the nose honestly

especially with a baby/toddler but really under any circumstances I do not want to “pre board” an airplane. I want to be on the plane the absolute shortest period of time possible. I want to “post board”

once again I must report that the 12th and Broadway McDonald’s is the best in the city

This might sound harsh, and judgmental, but if video is your preferred way of getting information about a topic, you’re a fucking moron

I feel bad about this tree coming down. but this is tremendous content.

Jair Bolsanaro, who did not die!

im sure there's a ton of interesting analysis on how much putting the provision of health insurance on to private employers actually costs us collectively. wages depressed, jobs not created etc. the system we have is ruinously expensive for employers. how does anyone defend it

37 minutes after we were already supposed to be at grandparents house the car wouldn’t start 😅

type of shit i'm on

I love my two blackout drunk Minnesota sons

Becoming the joker doesn't cut it anymore. I need something worse to become

Thousands of people are being sought to operate an indoor shrimp farm in Louisville with this assuredly remarkable human.

we’ve been watching Legends of the Hidden Temple with the 4yo and I had forgotten that the consolation prizes for the people eliminated right away were things like Nerds and Chocolate Milk lol

it feels like deja vu all over again; uber and lyft were supposed to complement and not compete with public transit, eliminate drunk driving, reduce car ownership, etc. and then instead they just vomited thousands of cars onto the streets to circle the block for eternity bsky.app/profile/renz...

i don't get the love for waymo in certain urbanist circles. it's safer cars, at least it seems that way from available data, but it's more cars. more cars are bad! we should want less cars!

interesting to see her leaning on the argument that pro-palestinian voices are unfamiliar with the relevant history, as if any amount of historical context could justify what's happening in palestine

17mo is in a big knife phase rn

Two of my (not) favorite art bike racks in Louisville A) Not sure how you are supposed to lock to the people one, also there was 3 people, but one got hit by a car B) why put trash on it purpose, I do see some symbolism you can get from that one though
