Ryan Thames has issued a formal apology to me. This was never about $—it was about integrity. I’m grateful that the false statements have been publicly corrected and that the truth is now clear. I hope this outcome serves as a reminder that words carry weight and accountability matters. @la-cac.org

Hold Them Accountable! Thank you to @librarianjones.com for the courage and conviction to stand up to those who spread hateful lies about librarians and educators. It was never about the money. It was always about the truth and integrity. Thank you, Amanda Jones. Courage is indeed contagious.

GET THIS: One of the men who defamed Amanda Jones tucked his tiny tail btwn his legs & posted an apology. That’s nice, but we already knew the truth about Amanda’s attackers. Plato summed it up: “False words are not only evil in themselves, but they infect the soul with evil.” @librarianjones.com

After leaving HBO Max earlier this year, ‘Looney Tunes’ is a hit on Tubi, the company says, and popular across generations. It should be a model for every classic cartoons trapped in streaming limbo.

The simple truth is people love this stuff and will watch it if you let them, not by putting it behind a premium fee. I fell in love with these cartoons as a kid because they used to be on TV all the time so I could, ya know, watch them lmao.

Judge Alan D. Albright of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas ordered a permanent injunction against HB 900 on October 21 in Book People Inc. v.
