One day you’re gonna have to look your ancestors in the face and tell them you paid to post.

Thank you to CM Virginia Maloney for supporting @nycplan.org's demand to benchmark library funding at 0.5% of the city expense budget! Thank you for being a library champion! council.nyc.gov/district-4/

I have no idea why this banger just popped into my head. 😆🎶 youtu.be/9SGes6Jpq5E?...

If there are folks who would like to design a couple of "FUND OUR LOCAL PUBLIC LIBRARIES" posters, holler at me at [email protected] and please tell me your rate for this. Poster size would be 11 by 17 landscape size. I need to print some posters for a forthcoming event.

Orange County is doing everything it can to limit cooperation with ICE while technically staying within the boundaries of FL law that requires local governments to maintain these agreements. DeSantis is infamous for removing local elected leaders who he feels defy his singular authority.

The world is under attack from the weirdest fucking dweebs.

Since 2019, New York, Oklahoma, and Georgia have all passed resentencing reforms for incarcerated survivors of abuse. In Massachusetts, advocates hope a similar bill can be passed this year.

Sloth World, a proposed sloth attraction advertising to promote conservation, has killed dozens of animals due to poor storage conditions and disease. The attraction was supposed to open in February despite the attraction and its associated importer not having required USDA licenses.

The corruption is just stunning. www.thedailybeast.com/chief-justic...

After seeing the aftermath of Abdul El-Sayed asking Olivia Reingold what she meant by a Jewish state, I became convinced it's a question that should be asked more often. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Native representation is finally coming to reality TV! lol. But seriously, four Indigenous chefs will compete this week on Chopped. The judges panel also includes Sean Sherman, Oglala Lakota, and Prairie Band Potawatomi Chef Pyet DeSpain. Love to see it!! ictnews.org/news/chopped...

Very awkward to celebrate library workers when you're cutting public library budgets so I guess we'll just pretend that #NationalLibraryWeek isn't happening.

Make this make sense.

Here’s Ebert’s essay, if you want something to mourn: “Car, Table, Counter, or TakHomaSak®” www.rogerebert.com/roger-ebert/...

And oh my god, every time that brand is in the news I am so angry on Ebert's behalf, and so angry at Steak n' Shake that they received that magnificent gift of being so seen and so loved, by one of the best writers to ever do it, only to piss all over it for the sake of idiot-pandering pseudoscience

Steak ‘n Shake didn’t make much of an impression on me as a kid, but I love Ebert’s essay so much that, in the decade-plus since I first read it, I’ve adopted his nostalgia.

Over the last few years S’nS has rebranded with fascism-as-aesthetic cultural bottomfeederism — they dropped seed oils, they went all-in on crypto, now this.

Today I got a press release from Steak ‘n Shake announcing that the brand has appointed one of the architects of the almost comically lobby-pandering dietary guidelines HHS released last year as their “Chief MAHA Officer.”

It's one of the most important pieces of food writing and one of the most beautiful odes to memory and just such a flawless encapsulation of Ebert's voice, the steady, joyous intelligence of his writing.

In 2012, not long before the great Roger Ebert died, he published one of the finest, tightest essays ever composed about the ineffable nostalgic perfections of chain restaurants, a celebration of his beloved Steak ‘n Shake and its unchanging, ever-delicious burgers and fries. (Link at end of 🧵)

On Monday, EPIC filed an amicus brief arguing that the Virginia city of Norfolk’s use of Flock’s Automated License Plate Reader system creates a warrantless mass surveillance program and constitutes an unreasonable search in violation of the Fourth Amendment.

I am not your doctor, but just as a record of one experience: I requested a booster through the CVS app, went in, got it, barely felt it, left, and paid nothing. OBVIOUSLY your situation (especially your insurance) will vary. But if you’re interested, it might be easy to do.

Because some comments make me think people missed the PSAs I do semi-regularly: if you were born before 1987, you should get a MMR booster now. The second childhood dose of MMR wasn't added until 1989, and folks who were older than 2 (the age for the 2nd) may not have gotten it.
