COWARDS. ABSOLUTE FUCKING COWARDS.

Honestly this has been going through my head all week

Honestly my first thought was that we’re going to be shaking hands with danger again Badumbadum ba dumbadum bum

Trump: don’t take acepitoemponoene RFK Jr: *moth crawls out of mouth* A nude man is in the background, only referred to as “the colonel” Person watching on tv: well if they say so

I slipped and fell on my tailbone last December. I was out of work for most of a week and it STILL hurts on occasion.

I had to lead a department meeting in the middle of today’s Cubs game, and this was my first slide:

This man will not be fired for calling for the murder of American citizens, yet multiple journalists/reporters/teachers lost their job for accurately reporting things Charlie Kirk actually said and stood for. But it’s the “violent left” that’s the problem

I am having a hard time reconciling "Charlie Kirk was a fierce advocate of open dialogue and free expression" with "we must identify and persecute everyone who is insufficiently mournful"

Pritzker, Johnson, and the people of Chicago all said 🖕🏻🖕🏼🖕🏽🖕🏾🖕🏿🖕🏻to Trump. So damn proud of this state

You can regret that someone died in such a violent manner and call for an end to political violence without telling us that we need to honor his memory. He didn’t engage in good faith debate. He spread hate and actively campaigned for a world where everyone except white hetero men are less safe.

“awful people don’t deserve to be killed, but they don’t deserve to be praised, either” is apparently a thought too complex for the pundit mind

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

WELCOME HOME, CAPTAIN 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

The comments 🤣🤣🤣

I wish when RFK mentioned Dr. Oz, Bernie had stopped him and said “So you believe the American people should listen to Dr. Oz instead of their own doctors?” I know people already listen Dr Oz, but it just highlights the nonsense coming out of this overly tanned turtle’s mouth (No offense to turtles)

Fuck fuck fuck. I lived/worked in this area for a long time. The base is smack dab in the middle of a very large Hispanic immigrant population.

Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.

FINALLY saw Wespons and all I can say is YOWZA. If you haven’t seen it yet, avoid spoilers as much as possible - like Barbarian, it’s a lot more fun if you have no idea what to expect!

I love how often “first of its kind” is being used to describe things happening in IL. And this is what it looks like to have a governor who doesn’t throw marginalized people under the bus

HOLY SHIT SNACKS, what a final out!!! Taking down the Brewers again!!!

Eeeeee!! I’m listening to the audio version now and it’s SO GOOD. (I’ve already read it a couple times in print and seriously - don’t sleep on this one)

She calls it a Mayonegg

the intensity of my anger at those who would criminalize the homeless — a population literally created by the greed and callousness of the ruling class — is very hard to contain. it was you who dismantled the safety net. if you don’t like the results, put it back

In all seriousness, I want more Dems with this attitude

Goddammit, what a gut punch. I may not have been able to see him play, but I got to see all of his accolades and appreciate how much he loved the Cubs. I even worked in the town he lived in and got to stand next to him in line on my lunch break. (Didn’t say hi but I wish I had) RIP Ryno 💙

Jonesy loves pens. Jonesy is also too damn cute for his own good

They don’t allow you to have cyborg bees in here www.scmp.com/news/china/s...

We can still save the Institute for Museum and Library Services. Here's a practical guide to what to do right now to save not just the agency's funding but its future all together. Part of this is messaging on reauthorizing the Museum and Library Services Act. bookriot.com/we-can-still...

re: generative AI I have finally fully and accurately explained my problem with how it’s marketed and used. And now, you can use it, too.

Absolutely.

A canned cocktail, a large g&t, and 2 shots of limoncello in the first hour. I pound it in the first hour & a half, then taper off to water

Freedom from kings. Freedom from fascism. Power to the people forever. ♥️ Happy Independence Day 🇺🇸

Stopped in my tracks by this sign pointing out the IMLS absence from #ALAAC25

So I got to meet Sujata Massey at ALA and tell her she was the most-recommended author across 200 episodes of Read or Dead!! (And I got my book signed!) What a thrill!

Our cat Biscuit had his grooming appt today and they sent us his report card but I think I'm just going to use it as my bio

Surreal to be visiting the birthplace of American democracy on the same day that the Supreme Court is dismantling it

ALA and Philly-bound! I’ve got a Libby app full of ebooks, a comfort Michael Crichton paperback, and extra space in my luggage for a few choice ARCs 👀

You know, I’m checking my pockets, but I seem to be all out of fucks. 🤷🏻‍♀️

The world is a fucking shit show, but as I rewatch old lip syncs from Drag Race, I'm reminded once again that this performance is probably a better cure for my depression than my SSRIs: youtu.be/HxMvZ7OeXYc?...

I am truly aghast. Not only would this obliterate the art and intention behind the original text, but there’s also a very high likelihood that AI would GET STUFF WRONG.

Compare this philosophy to, say, Pritzker, who openly advocates for the protection of trans rights, and brings a “Fuck you, make me” stance to every challenge launched at him by Trump. Human rights shouldn’t be dictated by public opinion and I’m sorry Sarah McBride hasn’t learned that yet

This was before I started seriously watching baseball and even I remember this fight

Bodily autonomy is a human right. Transness isn't a disease that needs to be cured. We're a normal part of the spectrum that is the human condition. And we deserve to have the final say over our own bodies - not just because of the harm if we don't, but because they belong to us and not the state.

Nations typically throw military parades to demonstrate their organizational prowess and national unity. So…uh… message received.
