It's unfair to call the Marvel movies "kid's movies", they also have serious political messages, such as: - America is good - the military is good - military contractors are good - billionaires are good - heroes protect the existing power structure, villains try to change society

Have a west of Ireland #painting. I finished painting "Coming into Glynsk" a few years ago. I had started painting it the moment I saw the view from my bicycle, albeit in my head, then I spent a few years with brushes scraping tiny touches of paint into the mountains. #SpéirGhorm #ArtYear #Scape

It's my birthday🥳, and I'm sharing a cake recipe from Fannie Farmer's 1965 cookbook. I have no idea why it's called Huntington, but it's a 1 bowl recipes, so less clean up the better. 🍽️ 🍜 #FoodSky #Cooking #Recipes #RecipeOfTheDay

"...intelligent enough to not need a trained librarian." EXCUSE YOU? www.librarlabs.com/en/home

I work in an academic library at a state university, so I will be excusing myself from family commitments by citing "circumstances pertaining to Library, and my love for the Public University System" 📚

"Due to the newly established $100,000 fee for H-1B petitions requesting consular processing outside of the U.S., <> is unable to provide H-1B sponsorship at this time for any prospective applicant who is outside of the U.S. and requires consular processing." From a library job ad today 📚

The effort is the point “Psychologists use the phrase ‘desirable difficulties’ to describe challenges that may feel inefficient, but produce stronger long-term retention and understanding.”

Some notes now that I’ve seen the transcript of the hearing, thanks to @lizdye.bsky.social . First: the government dismissed the felony count in an effort to convince the judge not to make them produce full transcripts, knowing they showed serious misconduct.

Or as my KY born and bred Papaw always referred to him: That sonofabitch Mitch McConnell.

THREAD. Sometimes you just have to write a thing for your own sanity. It was my birthday yesterday. I did manage to do a bit of celebrating in the evening with pals but I ended up spending the whole day writing the piece in this link: www.tom-cox.com/writers-bloc... I feel better for doing it.

Do you know I actually think that these people are so inoculated from any public sentiment that they are legitimately shook by a handful of boos at commencements this week?

They tell us inflation is cooling, meanwhile insurance premiums, prescription costs and hospital bills keep climbing. It doesn’t matter what charts say—people aren’t feeling relief, they’re stretching paychecks and taking on debt to cover costs. www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

"You mentioned bringing a nuclear reactor to DC. Where...would you put it?" is such a lethal line read

hey quick question!! Can anyone else see this? Is this real? Am I having an episode? Is this occurring? Am I dead? Am I dead and this is hell?

I think there is a paradox here, because I would *never* want to watch a robot dancing well for entertainment, but I probably would pay some pounds for an evening of robots trying to, then inadvertently stacking it.

Like these #publisherbinding or #publishersbindings or whatever we are calling beautiful decorated cloth trade bindings these days.

I keep forgetting this platform exists! Anyway, if you like #publishersbindings, this is what I’ve been working on building over the last year or so: digitalcellulose.com/projects/s/p... It’s a compendium of #designers (and their monograms) of decorated #bookcovers, for the years 1890-1930.

This is such a terrible injustice as these cops are racist, ableist scum but also it's additionally frustrating that I grew up around Kyle Sue and knew the second he became a cop that he'd do something horrible because he's the last person that should have ever been given a badge and authority.

In the past week: * Trans student murdered in WA. * PA man threatened to murder 20 "socialist" Democrats. * White supremacist in Tennessee shot Black man in attempted murder after calling him racial slurs. * Mosque attacked in San Diego mass shooting in apparent anti-Muslim assault.

This happened a week after the Trump administration called antifascism one of the largest terror threats.
