Library world has lost an amazing scholar, thinker, and activist who was never afraid to express hard truths. I’m sorry I never got the chance to meet her, but I know I will be thinking about her work for the rest of my career. Rest in power. Please consider a donation to the gofundme in the thread.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

Really good list. I’ll add John Cena David Ortiz Peyton Manning (I hate to admit it) Rei Ami Jodie Foster Amber Midthunder D'Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai Hailee Steinfeld Johnny Knoxville

Definitions: PORCH: Raised, roofed, can be enclosed or not DECK: Raised, not roofed PATIO: On-grade, not enclosed SUNROOM: Enclosed patio (I think this is also a LANAI on the west coast) All are independent of location (though I don’t think I’ve ever seen a “front deck”)

I don't know whether it is the #1 Catherine O'Hara accomplishment but the fact that she invented a manner of speaking that no other person in human history has ever attempted for Schitts Creek and made it seem realistic that her character would talk that way felt like a comedy miracle to me

This is the BEST explanation I have seen so far.

The new CBS contributors:

It must be wild being a Republican. Literally no beliefs other than a burning desire to have a bigger, more confident man tell them what to do.

Wise words from WEB DuBois to gird us today: "It would be shame and cowardice to surrender this glorious land and its opportunities for civilization and humanity to the thugs and lynchers, the mobs and profiteers, the monopolists & gamblers who today choke its soul and steal its resources."

“You have as many hours in a day as beyonce” shut the fuck up shes a fucking billionaire she doesn’t have to go find a special trash disposal for batteries or defrost the windshield or get the mail or wait an hour to talk to customer service at the bank or do a load of delicates

Based on a WW2 anti-Nazi poster where a bayonet stabs a Bible. Our enemy today is within, destroying the U.S. Constitution, which governs this land, and not a king. If you were a patron, you'd have seen this already! www.patreon.com/emilyk

It’s criminal how bad the US WBC caps are.

"If you want to know who took all of your money, it's the people with all of the money." I keep thinking about this post and how it's one of the best, most succinct messages Democrats could use in 2026 campaigns.

This is my friend's cat. Its name is Cookie Swirl, and it disappeared in the American section of Charlotte airport on 11/10. We're asking for your help. She doesn't have any other socials, so if you can post it widely to see if anyone knows where it is. It's a little thing, but matters a lot to her.

I’ve posted this before but the light was perfect today- a little Victorian cat paw in a brick at the front of the old Norfolk & Norwich Hospital. As this is on the front-facing corner of the main gates, the bricklayer quite clearly put it there on purpose, at a height where children would spot it.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

SEASON’S GREASON’S

ABSOLUTELY

It's so interesting that in the name of practicality we are urged to avoid any practical action; in the name of redemption we are urged to exonerate people who have shown no interest in redemption; in the name of civility we are urged to overlook the cruelty of those who scorn all civility

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: IMMORTALITY is one of the most unique and compelling games of all time. Play it if you haven’t.
