we are approaching him giving himself a month on the calendar, right?

A massive problem today is the uneven distribution of shame. Some of us are running dedicated on-site shame servers 24/7 while others have no access to shame at all, even though they desperately need it. What we need to do is put shame in the cloud

The success of HEATED RIVALRY blows apart two massive Hollywood myths, proving: 1) Gay intimacy on screen is NOT bad for business. 2) The Anti sex-scene discourse is horseshit. Audiences are horny and want horny things. 12 Year olds with anime pfp don't constitute a demographic worth catering to.

Every politician that follows the current administration who does not punish all of these evil men will be my enemy. No half measures. Not anymore.

Joint Statement of the Acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery by Netflix.

Correct. Minnesota native here.

1) legendary energy 2) you don't want to be passive aggressively chased through winter conditions by a Minnesotan, I hope they have nightmares 😂

first time I've been sad bsky doesn't have an algorithm because how did it take a month for this to show up on my timeline

Do medical cannabis dispensaries offer gift cards? Trying to think up some Christmas gifts for my mom.

I hate to say that sex workers tried to warn y'all this wasn't going to stop at just porn sites, but...

A reminder that Iron Circus is gonna get WALLOPED with Baker & Taylor bankruptcy backdraft for the next several months, turning our usual distro payout into bills. If you'd like to help a small business making weird-ass comics weather the storm, a 💥30% OFF💥 sale is on now! store.ironcircus.com

The "War on Christmas" is coming from inside the house. Get ready for the official government videos of Santa on Christmas Eve deploying cutting edge Palantir technology to distinguish between the children asleep in their beds who are naughty/deportable, and those who are nice and can stay.

Oh My God

This...should have been two separate emails.

If you have a young, early reader in your life, buy them Bea Jackson's Fairies welcome series. Her artwork is gorgeous and I want her to have more jobs. (if you have small black children in your life, these books feature black skinned fairies which I don't think are seen enough in illustrations!)

Little girl just asked her dad if he got Bluey. When said yes she said "Good job!" so I would say the kids are awesome as usual. #LibraryLife

Sabrina Carpenter made the White House delete their fuck ass tweet.

look deleting the post is obviously stopping the actual ICE raids but every single bit of pushback matters bsky.app/profile/airb...

people like Sabrina Carpenter saying essentially "decent people don't want the stench of ICE or this White House anywhere near them" to an audience of millions that includes a lot of young people helps empower them against ICE while reminding ICE agents that everyone hates them, both big wins

The bear would never

This was just sent to me by an LAUSD parent. A 4th grader was assigned to design a book cover for Pippi Longstocking using Adobe for Education. Here is what the AI tool generated:

#writingcommunity Carina Press/Harlequin dropped the ball for the release of the #HeatedRivalry TV series. No new print run ready to go, no new covers to tie into the TV series. The remaining paperbacks sold out online and fans are desperate. They also never released all 6 books as paperback. 🫠

😩 I wish I couldn't believe this, but here we are.

I'm not sure if calling your reps and just asking over and over how many dead babies are enough is the move... but it's the one I've been making.

This post made me want to start a thread of places you can buy bookish/literary/librarian-type holiday gifts that donate back to their orgs. So, first up, the Internet Archive!

In Chicago, a Nativity scene features a zip-tied baby Jesus and Roman centurions in "ICE" vests. Near Boston, Mary, Joseph, and Jesus are absent from a Nativity scene, replaced with a sign reading "ICE was here." It's all part of growing religious blowback to ICE. religionnews.com/2025/12/05/i...

I have never seen Walmart pickup this busy on a random day like this.

I have zero hope that the Supreme Court won’t acquiesce to Trump on birthright citizenship.

Please help me Please send tips and/or share my work 😭😭😭😭

There is no reason to be polite or decorous about this any more. The current Supreme Court is corrupt. US democracy cannot survive unless it is reformed.

Hey, I heard it's irrelevant and undeserved prize day! I just won the Institute for ADHD in Women Prize for the Cleanest House, Considering Four Neurodiverse People Live There. What did you win?

ahhh the news is out!! the chhibblings continue to rise!!!! deadline.com/2025/12/fost...

The racist court is saying if you consider race to ensure Black people have fair representation that is illegal. If you consider Black people to purposefully disenfranchise and take away power from Black and Brown communities that is legal. This is a Jim Crow neo-Dred Scott court; say that clearly

USPS subsidizes a *lot* of shipping in the united states and characterizing it in terms of profit and loss is fundamentally a bad faith exercise given how many of it’s benefits are truly universal in a way that not all federal agencies are

The thing to understand about "age verification" laws is that they are not just for kids The only way to "stop kids from doing xyz online" using age-gating is to demand a government ID (or invasive biometric face scan) from EVERYONE. This means associating your gov ID with EVERYTHING YOU DO ONLINE

why do all these evil tech demons keep using Philly as a testing ground for their bullshit? nobody here has Amazon treat money. we don’t need this!!! share.inquirer.com/pzulOm

oops it's her again

The cozy genres have had an understandable boom in the last five years; people are bruised and traumatized, even if they don't fully admit it in words, and they want books they can sink into like feather duvets. This is great! It's also complicated, because when anything grows fast, confusion...

I bet every other company is really jealous that they can't just say "oh well you're not supposed to go on the roller coaster if you're drunk" or "you're not supposed to drink the lemonade if you're sensitive to poison" etc

Super disgusting how many genAI bros sending death threats to Sam Altman for killing their 4o therapist sexbot who tells them they are literal magical prophets whose very real unified theories of everything will save the world think that it's users' fault for getting suicided by chatbot

And just think: this is all an indicator of how the IOC will be in the run up to LA hosting the Olympics!!

This is unreal. The 2026 code4lib conference has been cancelled unilaterally by Carnegie Mellon University because the Department of Education raised issues with the diversity scholarships: > An applicant must be a member of a group not well-represented within the code4lib community, including […]

There’s something wrong with bosses. We get letters all the time from people whose bosses expect them to watch their kids & dogs, diagnose their ailments, interview their idiot sons & more.

that's right. fuck that stupid owl

I am seeing some comments like “what if pro athletes really did kiss???” and I am excited for those people to learn about the WNBA

Every time I see headlines like this, I replace “Trump voters” with “Confederates” and it tells me everything I need to know about the official and the author of the profile

“Today is a defining moment for our country,” Michael Osterholm, a public health expert at the University of Minnesota, said. “We can no longer trust federal health authorities when it comes to vaccines.”

Medical experts worry today’s vote that ended recommending the newborn hep B vaccine shot for all babies will increase hesitancy among parents about childhood vaccines amid misinformation messaging from the federal government. 19thnews.org/2025/12/vacc...

Can't wait to watch STRANGER THINGS VS SUPERMAN on the new streaming service, NETBOFLIX+ NOW GO MOBILE ULTIMATE which I got on a Black Friday deal for $112 a month
