i mean, on the one hand, it’s funny, but on the other hand, this shit belongs to us, the money he’s wasted on it belongs to us, the money he’s wasting on guards and fences to try to cover up his failures, all that belongs to us

I hope to see many of you attending #alaac2026 in Chicago at the celebration of life for Fobazi Ettarh on Saturday. Fobazi was a guide star for the LIS profession; I'm glad we'll have the chance to come together to honor her life & legacy. 📚 www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/celebratin...

You can still read this text online at the brilliantly-named e-journal In the Library with the Lead Pipe: www.inthelibrarywiththeleadpipe.org/2018/vocatio...

Last month two library workers reached out to Public Collectors to ask about making a booklet version of Fobazi Ettarh's essay "Vocational Awe and Librarianship: The Lies We Tell Ourselves" for a Celebration of Life event. We did, and it is now available for all: halfletterpress.com/vocational-a...

I asked them to please get some wrenches to fix the McPherson escalators

What bothers me is the lack of care—you didn't need to hire an illustrator, you could just have taken a bagel out of a rack, set it on a plate, and taken a photo, and that would have been more genuine. Instead we get Twisty McMangledarm and his overflowing bag of deformed bagels.

How many presidents would we have had this decade if we actually had the power to throw some stupid asshole out of office

Also not mentioned in Ezra Klein’s statement, but something Cory Doctorow revealed this week about when he was invited (and quickly, REPEATEDLY declined): You had to pay a minimum of $16,000 to go! I would like to know how much Klein paid to casually check it out. pluralistic.net/2026/06/20/a...

'Went twice' lol

The first step you take on the journey to "abolish the police" is the realization that we could "abolish" 2 soldiers, 4 cops, and a horse from this particular situation, and we would be fine.

If you’re gonna share something share this freedcproject.org/guard

I actually disagree this is even minor anymore. It’s millions of dollars of graft and corruption and they’re about to start railroading random citizens through the justice system with who knows what charges to cover it up. This would have been a major scandal ten years ago.

Reminder that DHS should be abolished, as should many of the agencies within it. HSI describes their mission as "investigations into the illegal movement of people, goods, money, contraband, weapons and sensitive technology." But they're guarding a pool so people can't see that Trump ruined it.

Congrats to the grand jurors in DC who will get to hand Jeanine Pirro yet another humiliating loss.

“Librarians are harming our children by exposing them to sexuality when they are way too young.” No, you’re thinking of youth pastors.

Here's some local coverage about the pushback from staff: chronline.com/stories/trl-...?

Here’s a pretty decent overview on how they got here: www.thedailyworld.com/2026/03/25/t...

These people think they are being “apolitical.” They are not, this is gross.

the tragic thing is that it's really only the top twenty or thirty dads who make real money out of it, you can be the hundredth best dad in the world and you're mostly working as a dad coach.

tired of the "#1 dad" nonsense. if you're a dad, stop treating it like a joke and post your actual national dad ranking. i'm # 492,018, which is actually really high up there, but more importantly it lets me enter ranked dad lobbies where i can get matched up for fistfights with dads of my caliber

Also: LOL GET REKT SORBO

Greetings from Washington DC

Both totally unnecessary and extremely funny that the Guardian has an interactive graphic for you to change the color of the US flag's blue to the color of the Reflecting Pool from 8 to 19 June and counting

i need to reemphasize that i saw them let a guy go yesterday with a bag of weapons

Took this video of a guy getting detained and a citation for putting his hand in the water an hour ago.

His toughest opponent yet turned out to be photosynthesis. #AlgaeGate

our mad senile pedophile king is at war with a shallow body of water on his front lawn and is losing

they're arresting people around the reflecting pool because they're mad those people are noticing they fucked up the pool, we are not a serious place

First cucumber, tomatoes, and paw paw

Ivory Coast with the weakest defensive line since Maginot

Best sign at Pride Parade.

The Tropical Storm Arthur climate disaster scene seems like a good time to remind everyone that DC has been occupied by National Guard from the Gulf South for 10 months. Write to LA, MS, AL, SC, GA, NC, SC govs to send them home: freedcproject.org/guard

*gasping, falling through door* PEEL TEAM STICKS

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to show up in full combat gear on a hot summer day to the pool he filled with algae because he gave a paint job to one of his cigar puffing cronies. you are ordered to stop tourists from touching the green water. good luck soldier

This site is a real time-saver.

I just spent 10 minutes driving a friend’s newer car, one where the engine cuts off when you stop at red lights, and I am now ready to vote Republican. This shit sucks.

Washington DC sees NYC its democratic socialist mayor and raises it a 21st century ninja turtles program

Conference attendees are gonna be posting all the selfies and group pics from this green mess, with actual professional advice. Can’t wait

L to R: Chris Richards: biracial kid from Alabama who speaks about black history and has tattoos of MLK, Ali, and Obama Sergiño Dest: Dutch-Surinamese, emigrated to Brooklyn as a kid, naturalized Fola Balogun: born in Brooklyn to vacationing parents, raised in UK but CHOOSES to play for USA

It’s inspiring to see so many countries come together to get crushed by other, better countries

I am trying to enjoy my evening and dogs keep getting in the way

Rebecca: "Chaps, Alexi left us" Zlatan: "Who? Rebecca: "Alexi will be back, Alexi will be back with us very soon" Thierry: "Your plan worked, Rebecca" Rebecca: "Don't you bring me into this, no chance" Zlatan: "America, you're welcome" lmaooooooooooooooooo

It took 250 years but American cops finally racially profiled a white guy

The way everyone at Eebee’s booed when RFK Jr popped up on tv…

Everyone is SO SURE they know, they run their mouth and they don't know shit.
