Get in, Bobcats, we're going to the . . . Scooter's Coffee Frisco Bowl lol

“Satan is in Libraries” Well if he can provide photo ID with his current address then he is entitled to sign up for a library card. We also have other ways he can sign up if he is currently without identification

libraries are for everyone and i mean *everyone* 📚

Most public libraries are culling their physical media because it doesn’t circulate. If you want libraries to hold something, you need to check it out. Public libraries can’t just be warehouses for physical media you might want someday. Use it or lose it.

💯 public libraries can play a role in popular resistance to the reduction of culture to bitstreams, but it’s important to remember that public libraries have a mandate to develop their collections, and that means regular weeding. this is why resource sharing (i.e. ILL) is essential. 📚

Congratulations to Lionel Messi for amassing 67% of the MLS Cup assist total of 2008 #Crew96 Guillermo Barros Schelotto. You approached the general vicinity of greatness, Leo, and that's quite a feather in your cap.

Don Garber’s plans tonight: weep tears of joy and Scrooge McDuck through some piles of bills

i know this is sour grapes, but the coach not getting an immediate card will allow MLS fans to continue to gripe about one set of rules for Messi and one set for every other team. #MLSCup

When we talk about physical media, we are often only taking about personal collections but a big part of shunning the current digital ecosystem is supporting your local library. Not just for print books and periodicals but for movies, games and other medias too. Get. A. Library. Card.

Really happy for Miami fans, some of whom have waited upwards of 2, 3 months for this

Maybe if Messi wins MLS Cup he can go away and Miami can shut down and leave us in peace.

I know they’re just a company and companies are not allies, but Tottenham still being very willing to put the pride flag front and center on TV in this era of open anti-LGBT bigotry from the UK and US governments means a lot to me

Fifa are supposed to serve the voters, the national associations, not the other way around. How many will speak up about how the World Cup has been used to make highly politicised points, and push specific agendas?

"more children should die" is a cornerstone tenet of American conservatism

Nutmeg used to be a satire account

Feels slightly better #crew96

Apparently so. We’ll see what the new coach says by way of collaboration.

Fans: "we're looking for an authentic experience with local interest/flavor" Garber/NR: "here's some AI slop, you pigs. How about an NFT? I dunno, Messi won't/can't do media. Shut up "

On MLS Season Pass/Apple TV, Loons fans loved the picture quality, but had major criticisms about the commentary, eg: "MLS is an essentially local sport, not national, and it's high time that MLS admit that when it comes to broadcasting and restore local broadcasters to every market."

Yes it’s true that we don’t have a head coach, & it’s true that the neighborhood around the stadium is still undeveloped dirt covered with crushed rock, & yeah we’re adding more premium seats to our stadium that already isn’t selling out. Don’t miss the 5th Nagbe retirement event next week, fans!

It’s cool, you guys. We got money for Nancy. And for Cucho. And Aidan, and Christian, and Hinestroza. When Wessam leaves we’ll get money for him too. Same with Max and Shulte. Maybe Rossi. Maybe Farsi. Think about all that money. We’ll have so much fucking money, you guys. You just wait and see.

oops it's her again

This regressive move will literally kill people. It's making kids' liver cancer great again. And it's a sign of more harm to come. CDC panel recommends delaying birth dose of hepatitis B vaccine www.statnews.com/2025/12/05/c... via @statnews.com

cool that the official position of the administration appears to be that black people don’t really count as americans

A reader comments "So the elimination of 30 million girls is now a sad story about how men are lonely?"

Two posts for subscribers to end the work week. This one is #Crew96 related. It's an edited transcript of a Zoom call with GM Issa Tall Thursday afternoon. There is much that is stirring on Black and Gold Boulevard. Have a nice day. www.thedisrespected.com/p/87907d3a-e...

MLS fans get their news from BlueSky more than the right wing freak husk of old Twitter. Imagine running a sports team’s social media strategy and not understanding this yet. #Crew96

I am such an AI curmudgeon at work. QUIT PUSHING THE AI. I AINT USING IT.

The entire U.S. population is in the low hundreds of millions (340m), meaning that according to NoemMath, nearly all of us were on track for a cocaine-related death. I am so grateful to have been saved.

The Institute of Museum & Library Services has restored all previously canceled federal grants to libraries, following a ruling by a federal judge "Restoration of these grants is a massive win for libraries of all kinds in all states."

This is me almost every day at work.

AI is a solution to a problem that doesn't exist.

Wherever you live, this story has significant implications because the trend of defunding libraries, when we should be fortifying these outposts of learning, sharing, and survival, is a national phenomenon. Libraries are models of the kind of infrastructure we must EXPAND to get the world we want.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has proposed disastrous cuts to our city's libraries while setting aside $5M for a ShotSpotter replacement. As library associate Sara Heymann told me, “Libraries embody everything we need to fight back against fascism.” My piece on what’s at stake and how to fight back:

Always money for cops, never money for libraries.

"Cucho's gone, Nancy is gone & maybe Ali isn't far behind. It's the job of Crew fans to grab their ankles & take this bc that is football. #crew96 got $ for Cucho & Nancy &, if it so happens, they're going to get $ for Ali & Arfsten. But no problem! The Crew have more premium seating coming soon!"

There's something about Wilfried Nancy's exit from #Crew96 that was sticking in my spleen, so I vented a bit. No paywall on this one. Have a nice day. www.thedisrespected.com/wilfried-nan... www.thedisrespected.com

Are we, tho? 🤔 #Crew96 #IssaSleeps

Darlington Nagbe #Crew96 press conference “official retirement” tribute happening at the exact same time as official Wilfried Nancy hire announcement by Celtic in Glasgow. Pure coincidence, right?

It was a magical time to be a #Crew96 supporter under Wilfred Nancy. @calebdenorme.bsky.social returns from his slumber to pay tribute to the former boss. massive-report.com/2025/12/03/w...

Columbus has had a Celtic Supporters Group since 2002. @columbusceltic.bsky.social on socials. We meet at Fado Easton for every match. Stop by, #Crew96. Nancy’s first match is Sunday at 10AM.

Keep shouting it. Only SOME parents' rights are included in "parental rights," and it's the bigots.

Never mind the rights of children to read and know. www.librarypunk.gay/e/090-right-...

On Monday, the University of Alabama suspended two student-run magazines over fears stemming from a July DOJ memo. The student journalists I spoke with yesterday told me that the decision was nonsensical and threatened their First Amendment rights. www.alreporter.com/2025/12/03/u...

This guy is the James Carville of football. Won something 20 years ago and people keep paying him to make an ass of himself on TV while he blames everyone around him for the teams failures

This sign raises more questions than it answers

Am trying to change the digital displays that patrons see when they use the library's app; for some reason a random book keeps appearing in the midst of my holiday-themed fiction titles and I can't make it go away and it's this one 😭

It’s Giving Tuesday and we are once again asking you to stand with refugees. Donate to our CRISmas fundraiser to help us make the holidays more special for refugee and immigrant families in our community! www.gcgbag.com/member/gcgba... #crew96

There's a local to-do involving a street where the residents want to gate off their (non-gated) community and it's being referred to as Gategate.
