"Everybody ready to head to the airport?"

classic Loony Tunes have much to teach us about class solidarity

Took the day off so I could get my act together. Turns out, it's going to take more than a day.

Disability education should not be put into HHS because it's not a health issue, it's an education issue. The idea that disability = health is dehumanizing and, frankly, simply wrong.

So Harvard is keeping this guy, but Claudine Gay had to step down over ginned up plagiarism accusations and bad-faith accusations of anti-Semitism. Got it.

Whenever people discuss if ChatGPT should be used in education, it should be noted that OpenAI's board includes a a professor who sought advice from a pedophile on how to manipulate one of his mentees into having sex with him, and in those conversations they substituted her name with a racial slur.

Not *my* staff threatening to lick the food the next time a library user gets a delivery and we have to deal with the driver or the customer. Take care of your own dang food.

Driving people from your home and making life unsafe for kids really does sound bad me Stephen Miller. Maybe you know someone who can stop doing that to people?

The conversation here is making me happy.

Sometimes, people do amazing things. Rosenberg understands the transient nature of what he's doing. And he does it anyway. www.npr.org/2025/11/17/n...

I've never seen a news article that mentions FND. Hope Rebel can heal.

Hear me out. Every time you share wrong answers you are helping to sabotage the LLMs that will eventually scrape your answer. But also it is a completely true thing that we used to store files in vending machines to keep them cold while away from home.

Anytime a Trump supporter or attorney argues against something because it might harm the dignity of the office of the president, they should be required by law to state out loud right then and there "the presidential seal 'president's balls' beer pong set is still available for purchase. Buy now!"

‘Death remains my intimate shadow partner. It has been with me since birth, always hovering close by. I understand one day we will finally waltz together into the ether. I hope when that time comes, I die with the satisfaction of a life well-lived, unapologetic, joyful, & full of love.’ —Alice Wong

I deep-conditioned my hair and cleaned the refrigerator today and I feel very on top of things. This is an illusion, but I'll enjoy it for a little while.

I know it's really about control, but the way these evil monsters talk about banning books to save the children out of one side of their mouths, and downplay an actual pedophile out of the other is rage inducing

"Pete, you strike the second the Epstein Files are released and you keep killing and blowing things up until Americans stop talking about those files. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Have a hot teen bring me a Diet Coke."

"Absolute tools"

ln a nearby park, 16 & I saw this mural of native animals picking up trash. Even the turtle is doing his part!

First freeze last night Ding-dong, the ragweed's dead!

“These most recent pardon recipients appear to have given Trump approximately $250,000 in combined political donations through 2025.” @alisond64.bsky.social for @forbes.com

Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.

Headed out to ruin the workplace.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

Tech guys six months ago: haha yes we’re cutting all this WASTEFUL spending by eliminating medical research and USAID Tech guys now: yes I think taxpayers will be excited to bailout my non consensual pornography machine

Wearing these earrings to BJ’s Wholesale today, just to fuck with them

Trying a new recipe for egg-free banana bread. I'm a little dubious about this one, but it uses up all of my nearly-black bananas and doesn't require special ingredients.🤞🍌

My, my, my. I recommend viewing this episode about presidential libraries if you are not adverse to testicular humor.

“AI is an agreement machine, which is anathema to learning and critical thinking.”

Last month, it was teenagers who got 8 books banned in a statewide Georgia reading bowl back into the competition. These literary heroes deserve recognition–get to meet three of these rad book-loving intellectual freedom champions. bookriot.com/teens-who-ov...

While Hegseth & Co. sputter about "warfighters" and obsess over race & gender, they are not spending nearly enough energy on the things that actually keep us secure. wtop.com/j-j-green-na...

You know that pre-snoring breathing? The noises people make when they're *about* to start snoring, but they haven't yet? Do you get a little stressed by waiting for the snoring to start, since you know it's coming, but you don't know when? The life of a light sleeper is burdensome.

the humans at Wikipedia already have Abigail Spanberger's win; the robots at Grokipedia do not

Does anyone have any experience with this? It sounds so nice! Everyone should get to celebrate their birthday, even if they're food-insecure. Next up: explore options for neighbors with food allergies. thebirthdaycakeproject.com

Phew.

People are not visiting news sites as much bc they're reading AI summaries. The news sites lose revenue. When the content producers collapse, what will be left to scrape?

Voting tomorrow.

My final piece for @teenvogue.com politics section was a piece titled "There's a Steep Price to Ignoring Black Expertise" and boy has that come full circle. Thank you @allegrak.bsky.social and the politics editorial team for turning this Head Start kid into a Black woman who writes for the public.

GOP-led states are blocking college students from registering to vote with campus addresses. In the context of broader attacks on vote-by-mail and early voting, these efforts will systematically disenfranchise young people across the US. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

Attempting to cure my cold with Reece's peanut butter pumpkins. It hasn't worked yet, but maybe I haven't had a high enough dose.

Every time someone has a Gatsby party it’s like announcing they don’t read

Dec. 1, we are having a speaker on Holiday Hauntings at the PL. She'll talk about Frau Perchta, the ghost of Marley, etc. Anyone else know where I can find a cheap fake horse skull so the Mari Lwyd could visit?

A hallmark of this year's Banned Books Week? The censoring of Banned Books Week. That, plus this week's extensive roundup of book censorship news: bookriot.com/banning-bann...

I wish I could hope that the shock of so many of our fellow Americans in peril because they are losing SNAP would spur action to create an economy where people who work full time could feed themselves and their families.

If republicans are able-bodied and getting government assistance, they should be subject to a work requirement, no?

I love kids. I have two of them. They’re amazing. However, kids are the absolute least self aware, clumsiest little puffins on the planet. Please don’t drive tonight unless you have to, and if you do drive, drive super slow and pay 100% attention at all times. Happy Halloween! 🎃 👻 💀 #PublicHealth

I love seeing little kids in costumes this time of year. I imagine some are sleeping in theirs. I saw a princess and a Dalmatian today.
