If you are going to ALA in Chicago this year and you wanna take some quiet time to make (or decorate) a ceramic piece with me I’d love to host you at the Co-Op.

Shingles sucked more for me than the chicken pox that preceded it. It was pre vaccine, or I’d likely have avoided it because I grok science and risk mitigation. My advice to all: If you’ve had chickenpox get the shingles jab. And if you haven’t had chickenpox, then get the vaccination for that.

Ok! If you're looking for a search engine that's not trying to steal all of your data, give this a try. I use it exclusively. search.ravendevteam.org

This is great, read it, use the finger protocol from 1971, if you can. You can 😜 h/t @masnick.com

The secret is out! Check out our profile in @nowtoronto.bsky.social, where our Executive Director @librarylandia.bsky.social talks about TCAF's history, our unique approach to curation, and what to expect at #TCAF2026! nowtoronto.com/news/toronto...

I don't put my foot down a lot, but I will kill any audiobook deal for my work where they try to slap an AI narrator on it. Narrators are artists. The greats have filled my heart with light on countless nights. They will not be replaced with slop.

the severe misread of youth by ai prophets is that at 22 you’re starving for agency. all your life you’ve waited to call your own shots. the idea that what you get instead is “tell the machine to draw a horse” is inherently offensive

I told you this place is always crowded, we should’ve called for a reservation 😩

Fuck T-Mobile for enabling this fascist censorship. They dont have to give these Christian fascists the network bandwidth to purge trans people from the internet, and they risk a boycott from activists by doing so. Their support number is 611 from a T-Mobile phone if you want to complain.

WHAT

The Institute for Primary Facts has compiled more than 3.5 million pages of the Epstein files for public display at the newly opened Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Reading Room.

❤️‍🔥📣 MORE THAN HALF YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US Y’all check these incredible stats — most Americans—*including OVER 50% OF TRUMP VOTERS — want trans-inclusive sex ed in schools. How much did they spend to try to make us hate our children? FAILED. ❗️Action item next skeet ❗️

🤣

The cool thing about defunding science and ignoring basic health protocols is that the universe is gonna keep on doing its thing, and it *really* does not give a shit what you believe

if jar jar binks had breasts and was in knights of the old republic it might look a little something like this

BREAKING: Congressman Johnny Olszewski (D-MD) is introducing a constitutional amendment to establish term limits for Supreme Court Justices. The ROBE Act would establish 18-year term limits for justices.

I launched an indie webcomic hosting platform several months ago that offered a free and a $4/mo paid plan. This was purely to cover the cost of the infrastructure. But in seeing it grow, I'm no longer worried about the cost. So yeah Webcomic Studio is now free. webcomic.studio

If the Democrats let Republicans have this INSANELY easy W, I am going to be apoplectic. This shit polls like chlamydia. Get on the other side of it now and be loud about it.

This week on the Superfan Podcast, Eisner-winning cartoonist Erica Henderson talks about talk about one of the most beloved fantasy worlds ever created -- Terry Pratchett's Discworld!

Well, Mikie Sherrill is seriously considering redrawing New Jersey’s congressional maps after SCOTUS gutted the VRA. Good. The more blue states join the efforts to counter the GOP’s gerrymandering scheme, the better. By the way, the orange ape’s name is STILL in the Epstein Files. Release them NOW.

don't worry everyone

It takes a lot to get me to watch an 18minute video, but I watched this entire video and it was well worth it

Esperanza Spalding was the first jazz artist to win the Grammy for Best New Artist (2011), beating out Justin Bieber and Drake. The now 5-time Grammy-winning virtuoso bassist, singer, and composer is a leading figure in 21st-century #jazz. #JazzDay #music #musicsky

That's too much Susan.

Sorry, but if you’re mad that the Southern Poverty Law Center paid informants to infiltrate Nazi groups to expose them, then you are a Nazi.

This is what going on the internet used to feel like

You are being lied to. And there's only one man who knows the truth. Jim Haggerty returns, only on InfoWars.

Bloodborne

Some timeline stuff: — We expect to get InfoWars.com after the judge clears it in a couple of weeks. — We'll build a world of characters on the site and across social media. Tim Heidecker is in charge, and we have grand designs. — Visit theonion.info, buy a subscription, help us dominate the world.

Sharing again for my library worker friends. If you work closely with an ALA Staffer reach out to them today and give them some kudos and strength to Vote Yes for ALAWU! All of us standing together makes libraries and library workers stronger! #ALAWU #ALA-woo!

Holy SHIT someone found the test pressing of Robert Johnson's Cross Road Blues and it is clear as a PIN www.openculture.com/2026/04/reco...

It’s fine to be balding. This guy’s real offense is having the exact profile of the default Bloodborne character

Don't come at me with any "With not both?" bullshit. The money from Harry Potter is being used to ruin people's lives.

Fundraiser for librarian Luanne James, who stood up to her rightwing library board that demanded she remove kids books with any trace of LBGTQ+ characters or content. "I will not comply." They sacked her and cops escorted her out. She's a hero. This banned author just donated.

Literally over the moon that THE Cosmo deigned to talk about our little book Punk’n Heads @idwpublishing.com @topshelfcomix.bsky.social

*whistles*. For all you hackers that follow me.
