CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

Pete Kegsbreath has summoned the entire 800-person leadership of the US military to an in-person meeting. This has never happened in US history. Anyone got a feeling we're less than a week away from Martial Law?

@dieworkwear.bsky.social we need you to do this!

WTF is going on?! www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

EYYYYYYYYYY

On some level, I believe that reentering my home after a day of tasks should restore my HP to 100%, and I am annoyed that it doesn’t

Why is basic research important? Scientists struggled unsuccessfully for decades to develop an RSV vaccine. Then NIH scientists figured out the key structure of a protein. Now we have 3 vaccines and 3 monoclonal antibodies against RSV. www.scientificamerican.com/article/new-...

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

We are living in a movie adaptation of a work by Franz Kafka directed by David Lynch

Trump: don’t take acepitoemponoene RFK Jr: *moth crawls out of mouth* A nude man is in the background, only referred to as “the colonel” Person watching on tv: well if they say so

One very wealthy white man got his job back today (along with his 200 staff and production team) because of organizing, boycotts, and collective pushback. When will we see that same energy for the 320k+ Black women who were pushed out of the labor market?

Your media dept rocks 🌟

Springfield Missouri's omelet is filled with cashew chicken and smothered in brown sauce.

Alt: WSJ article with the headline: TRump Administration cancels annual hunger survey Subhed: the government has been measuring food insecurity since the mid-1990s, but now says the report has become overly political

And now YOU know! What are you gonna do about it?

(interior, Disney HQ) "Lots of angry comments from folks upset about the Kimmel firing. Not sure how we recover." "That's just Americans. We've still got tourists, right? I mean, they ..." "Not anymore! Not since Trump!" "Oh, shit, that's right." "Oh shit." (softly, from the back): "Gawrsh."

Only in America the solution for mental health disease, homelessness, extreme poverty, is militarization of the police and mass incarceration

Librarian friends, if you have not yet watched this talk by @katestarbird.bsky.social , it is an excellent summary of her team's research on rumors and disinformation.

This looks so good!

“The Violence Prevention Project at Hamline University found the overwhelming majority of mass shootings with four+ people wounded in public were carried out by men. Just 2% in last decade were carried out by women and less than 1% were by transgender people” www.theviolenceproject.org/key-findings/

To pass a new congressional map and restrictions on the initiative petition process, Republicans had to dispose of traditions that defined decades of Missouri legislative politics. (@stlpublicradio.bsky.social)

Have you ever seen a Melibe nudibranch swimming?

Deeply disturbing. Missouri is implementing age verification for 18+ sites through its AG. No vote, no legislation, just the Attorney General implementing the policy and forcing AV on its residents www.komu.com/news/state/n...

Just finished Lucky Day by @chucktingle.bsky.social . I tempted fate by using my black cat bookmark. What a ride! I am smiling at the end. #loveisreal

This is my life!

My semi-regular reminder: NYC Public Library Action Network needs your help. We need people in each of the 51 districts of the city to set up a meeting with their City Council member to discuss our public libraries. Sign up and we'll be in touch with more. Share with your NYC friends.

Hell, yes

So cute!

Be gentle with your people today. Make art. Go for a walk. Find a way to support the vulnerable among us.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have made a HUGE breakthrough towards a UNIVERSAL antiviral. By targeting sugar molecules found on the surface of many viruses that SHARE structural similarities, they identified FOUR compounds that successfully BLOCKED infections from SEVEN different viruses.

Trump gutted the FBI, ATF, and other federal law enforcement agencies dedicated to monitoring extremist violence, to dump endless resources into pointless immigration enforcement. ICE got tens of billions of dollars while the FBI got gutted top to bottom to settle political scores

Hi I know we're all talking about something else at this particular momennnttt, but can I interest any of you in educational posters? I've got 'em in a pack & seasonal lightning bugs too! It helps support SaS and makes it easy for you to spread important messages in your community! SquidFacts.net

Maybe the Authors Guild or the other plaintiffs will get worried if authors across the world protest the settlement. They could make changes if they wanted -- so let them know what you think of this deal! Again, here are my thoughts on the settlement. 5/ www.patreon.com/posts/138349...

Do you conduct research in the children's literature field? Submit a proposal to the 2026 CLA Research Conference! Proposals due on September 29 tinyurl.com/bdhvsfjb @ncte.org @nctecla.bsky.social #edusky #kidlit

"Groundhog Day" but you get to eternally relive the day when we vote these assholes out of office.

Update: we just received a statement from Macmillan/Tor taking full responsibility for failing to register copyright, promising to make us whole and pay us any settlement money we lost out on due to that error, and promising to find & correct the lapses that caused this. Every pub should do this.

Today is my birthday! To celebrate, I am giving away 2 copies of THE KING OF BOOKS (Feiwel & Friends). To enter: 🐯 like 🐯 share this post I will announce 2 winners on Friday, September 12th! #KidLit #EduSky #Skybrarians

I'm so, so proud of Ray, Jeremy, and Elizabeth being the current and future leaders of Missouri. We have a GOP super majority in both chambers and these 3 Dems are giving them hell to stop these new maps. youtu.be/Pw_ohoCh0h8?...

Governor Pritzker isn’t playing— salt trucks form a blockade to block ICE — time to melt

Really looking for anyone with bottle baby experience who could take on up to 5 2-week old kittens (or two 3 week old kittens). Things with mama Shiva are just not stabilizing and she is beginning to neglect the kittens and I am going to have to step in. I am beyond capacity, overwhelmed, exhausted.

Who knew being a librarian would mean seeing untreated open wounds almost every day?

Sen. Warren Daniel (R–NC, District 46) was caught trading stocks right on the Senate floor. Didn’t even wait for a break. Playing the market on the taxpayers’ time…pure abuse of power.
