Hey, guys, when the librarians get pissed about the destruction of books, it’s time to put those listening ears on. Because we are very comfortable with the idea that books are tools that can be retired. What’s happening right now is not that.

Saddened to hear my good friend the Finger Taker has passed away. I never agreed with him about amputating people's fingers in his dungeon, but I'll always remember the collegial good times, and most of all his great sense of humor. What laughs we had. Condolences to Ginny and his whole family.

Book cover art in the style  of Old Hollywood Era yellow movie poster. 
The title says "When I'm in your arms" by Sarah Wallace & S.O. Callahan

Two men  in elegant suits perform a dance move when one holds another in his hands. A closeup of the characters and their faces. One man is blond and the other has dark hair.  Both are  white and handsome in an old Hollywood sence of word. They look like a vintage musical leads.

Buckingham Palace has a long and ruthless tradition of distancing itself from scandal. Nothing matters to the Firm more than the perpetuation of the Firm itself. Be wary of stories that seek to put Charles and Co in a good light because a lot of it is nothing more than crisis and PR management.

#IndustryHBO S4 Episode 6 stands out as the best episode of the entire series so far. It’s almost written to be a standalone film, with each character reaching a peak moment. This episode is as strong as the series could possibly deliver 👌🏻 #tvsky #hbo

Right, another key thing that historians do is working with important records that have not been digitized. And the vast majority of the world’s records *have not been digitized* and thus do not exist in any format that LLMs/AI can work with.

A version of the Wes Streeting 'I never knew Peter Mandelson well' opinion column. Photo is of my cat. Text reads: Ignore the smears: I was never on the kitchen table,
and I am deeply
concerned about
the cultural moral
failing of going 
on tables.
I was only in the kitchen in the 1st place to prevent other cats from jumping on the table. That sound you heard was me doing something else.
An additional 'linked' headline reads: Scientists study reappearance of mysterious cat-like wet footprints on surface of table, despite assurances that cat ‘knows it’s naughty’ to go on the table.

i don’t know if it’s the jaunty bow tie or what but i cannot stop laughing at this
a meme — the top says “My dog just got a haircut and now he looks like he gave up drinking and got his life together” and underneath are 2 photos of a dog (a schnauzer i think?). on the left, the “before,” he’s scruffy and in need of a haircut and a bath. and on the right, the “after,” he’s clean and clipped and wearing a jaunty red bow tie and looking very dapper indeed.

For decades, the American right has insisted that people need firearms for personal safety and to resist potential government tyranny. And then LBC just had some US general on who suggested that if a demonstrator has a gun with them, they're essentially a legitimate target. Which is it?

We’ve been in an alternate timeline ever since the flood, when they warped time and believability. Now they have to marry up this “imagined” investigation with a real one and try to make it make sense somehow. It never really works when they try to move outside a daily 15 minute format. #thearchers

In honor of National Poetry Day, the greatest parody rewrite of all time:
Screen cap of parodic version of William Blake's "The Tyger" that begins:
Tyger! Tyger! Burning bright
(Not sure if I spelled that right) 
What immortal hand or eye
Could fashion such a stripy guy? 
What the hammer that hath hewn it 
Into such a chonky unit?
Did who made the lamb make thee, 
Or an external franchisee?
