I don't know when the narrative changed from politicians earning our votes to them expecting our votes to be owed to them for not being quite so evil as the other guys, making it all into "vote for me or the baddies will win and make it worse" protection rackets.

Little Free Libraries started with one tiny book box built in 2009 as a tribute to a teacher and book lover. Today there are more than 150,000 across 115 countries, including Antarctica. Take a book. Leave a book. Somehow one small idea turned into a worldwide movement.

Blog update: New Order's "True Faith" topped the NME Indie Chart and dominated the national top ten in August 87, lifting the group up and away from the cult margins. Also the finest lyrics of Sumner's career, achieved by solitary confinement. indienumber1s.blogspot.com/2026/05/102-...

Love is texting your husband photos of your cat when he’s in the other room and then smiling when you hear him laugh upon receiving the photo

Every now and then I find myself deeply sad at the death of the mass market paperback.

my cat just thwacked herself in the face with her own tail and then got mad at me about it, so that’s how my saturday is going so far

Please explain how voters can’t vote for the candidate of their choice in their district.

This will definitely be the cutest thing you see today! 😊 🥰 🐶

Now more than ever, check out a physical novel from your public library and read it in long, big gulps. It's like meditating. It's like putting your bare feet on the grass. It will help heal you.

I would just like to formally confirm that I was NOT “scratching a pallet.” I was sharpening my murder mittens in preparation for: • opening treat packets faster • enforcing station mouse discipline A cat has to maintain standards. We don’t want blunt mittens do we?

The Toronto Public Library's website has been down all week so you couldn't reserve any books and it's FINALLY back up and I have been FEELING IT. Three days without a library and I was like "where's my library" every day. I am on team library

Was waiting for the chancellor to depart and then Larry came out to say hi. He sauntered off to the FCDO but did come back to get pre lunch appetiser.

When TV shows show people texting and they only show the phone screen without enlarging the text it should be considered a hate crime.

What a privilege it is to have a little less room in the bed because a tiny creature thinks it's the safest place to sleep at night.

A sadly forgotten 80s classic. The #LizaMinnelli version was totally different and just as good. @petshopboys.bsky.social

My cat always looks disgusted watching me clean her litter box like “ew I can’t believe you have to do that”

This is nice but we must have missed when Senator Lamar Alexander did this himself 😕 www.nytimes.com/2026/05/17/u...

The “AIDS Episode” of Designing Women was much more realistic and of the times.

USPS ignores all hold mail requests we submit. Remember when the post office was a friendly, efficient organization?

The Go-Go's' debut album 'Beauty and the Beat' (1981) has been inducted into the Library of Congress' National Recording Registry, which celebrates culturally, historically & aesthetically significant recordings. Rediscover the album here: album.ink/TheGoGosBATB

Why are the vast majority of authors on Bluesky writing horror or science fiction? Where are all the other writers?

I really would like to see bands stop doing deluxe versions of their album a year or so after the initial release. Just release an EP. Stop asking your fans purchase your album twice. One of the worst trends of the music industry in the past decade.

You realize most of it has been ruled fiction, right?

I don't remember if I ever liked road trips many years ago, but I sure as heck know I hate them now. Our highways are ugly, stressful, filled with maniacs with a death wish and disregard for everyone else. Maybe driving was once a nice experience, but it's pure sterilized hell now.

The libby app is truly one of the best things that has ever happened to me. I implore EVERY one to get a library card and get the app! So many books at your fingertips!!
