South Park, Season 27, is wow. Three episodes, three satirical masterpieces. I never realized until watching the latest episode just how much the sycophancy of #ChatGPT is the perfect symbol of our times, but it really is. #SouthPark

You all @simplyrain.bsky.social is doing great things for her students. I got to tour the temporary library she was able to carve out of a small space for her kids during a long renovation. She is maintaining a high level of service against a HUGE multi-year project. Well done.

I'm everywhere!!!!!! #ALAAC25

My ears aren't burning, but my nose won't quit itching. Someone must be talking about me... or something. Is it you?

One thing that #AI is not good at is wrestling with your own feelings until you realize you really are a piece of 💩 and nothing matters, so just give up. (That was all a joke, btw. I don't feel that way. But I bet AI isn't good at THAT, lol.)

Join us, school library friends!!! See you soon!!! #TLSky EduSky #Skybrarians #FutureReadyLibs

she’s like 15 feet away. absolutely that man’s whole thought process was: “I’m gonna shoot that woman”

We’re going to #AASL25, and we’ll be talking all things manga and how to utilize them in an engaging and inclusive school setting! @smwordsmith.bsky.social @bespokelib.bsky.social @st741.bsky.social #SchoolLibraries #TLSky #Edusky

I am both honored and privileged to present with @captainlibrary.bsky.social about creating digital twins of artifacts at #AASL25 in the fall! And, of course, I can't wait to see all of my school library friends in St. Louis!

I’m so excited to be presenting at #AASL25 in October! AASL has been my favorite conference so far & I can’t wait to join my incredible peers in Saint Louis in just a few short months! #skybrarians

I am PUMPED for #AASL25 and truly excited to share this work that grew out of listening to our students regarding what they needed and wanted from our library program. Thank you @melissacorey.bsky.social for creating this easy-to-use template! #TLSky #SchoolLibraries #Skybrarian

Unbelievable! Republicans have included 300 MILLION in the budget for......Trump's golf trips. 🏌️⛳️‼️ You heard that right. But there is no money to feed hungry kids school lunch. #StopTheBillionaireBailout

Insane

Here now: The Grifter-In-Chief... #HypocrisyStinks

It is the job of the free press not only to report the news, but to meaningfully frame it with the proper context readers need to understand why the story matters. That starts with the headline, since so most readers delve no further. @rollingstone.com leads with the lede, instead of burying it.

Severe cuts to the National Weather Service led to the Jackson NWS going without a full-time overnight forecasters. Warnings for the 3 AM tornado that claimed at least 18 lives were delayed as a result. DOGE is killing Americans. It needs to be stopped. Science needs protection. MAGA needs a cage

This isn't a brag about number of followers, but I am astounded that I just surpassed 6K on Bluesky. I was engaged on the bird app consistently for 15 years and never surpassed 1400. Thanks to everyone who follows me here. 🐈‍⬛🐥🐥🐥🐥 I do tend to follow back anyone who engages with my posts.

Congratulations! You found Waldo! (I'd been waiting for the perfect opportunity to wear this outfit, but I decided today being field day would be the perfect time. A lot of people found me.) #dressupisfun #whereswaldo #whenswaldo #whatswaldo #howswaldo #whoswaldo #iam #Skybrarians #TLSky #Booksky

This 🍊 guy! 🤬 What an idiot.

Soon after firing the Librarian of Congress, Trump has fired the nation’s top copyright official as well. Rep. Joe Morelle says Trump acted after the copyright official “refused to rubber-stamp Elon Musk’s efforts to mine troves of copyrighted works to train AI models.”

Thanks to your support, 3 of my 4 #DonorsChoose projects—including a #STEM kit & #multilingual library—are fully funded! My @spheroeducation.bsky.social project needs just $100 more with matched donations. Please repost or donate! www.donorschoose.org/project/roll... #TeacherAppreciationWeek

So I went to get my haircut today and I said, “Give me the Tim Jones.” How do you think they did? 💇🏻‍♂️✂️ #SLJLOY #Skybrarians #TLSky #EduSky #BookSky @slj.com

I didn't have the new Pope speaking on the subject of #AI in his first week on my BINGO card. ✝️🤖

I know this is terrible to see & hear. DON'T LOOK AWAY To look away is to ignore that masked, unditentified authorities are kidnapping people on the street with no warrant and no due process. Be ready to film, peacefully intervene, call local news stations to share video.

For so long, I've felt like I've had 100 tabs or more all running in my head at the same time. But for the most part, I could still manage them & remember where all the tabs were. But lately, I feel like the tabs have finally taken a toll, & my browsers are about ready to crash. You feeling this?

Remarkable clarity into the heart of what’s going on. A must-watch.

A man pulled up to a gas station to fill up his truck. ICE agents surrounded him and took him away. But his children were left behind. “They arrested someone,” witness said. “They left the children inside the truck.” www.sfgate.com/centralcoast...
