Here's a neat thing! My mom retired after 25+ as a children's librarian at public libraries yesterday. (It was very cool! Hundreds of former Story Hour kids arrived, some as adults!) I let Ed Markey's office know in case they wanted to send a nice email back and they sent this! He's still got it!

How good is YouTube Music's AI recommendation algorithm? Based on my history of listening to Sibelius and The Beatles, and playing music for our toddler, it decided I should hear classics F*** Me Like You Hate Me. This is real.

The US government collected over $1 billion in immigration fees then refused to process the applications. No denials. No refunds. Just silence. This is the largest fee fraud in the history of the American immigration system. Here's what's happening. 🧵

Alex's mom on his 38th birthday.
Today should be your 38th birthday..
When you lose your son you lose more than a child you lose a piece of your heart and your joy. Life is forever altered, and nothing can ever fill that space. Yet in my soul, he remains, my precious boy, forever loved. His laughter, his smile, and his love are woven into who I am. My love for him will never fade. Yor are my pride and my joy - you've made a change that cannot be broken..

This infographic highlights the impact of the conflict in Ukraine, with data from the Prosecutor General’s Office of Ukraine and the UN:

200–300 new war crimes registered every day.
15,258 civilians killed (including 640 children).
19,546 children verified as forcibly deported.
235,000+ infrastructure objects destroyed or damaged.
1,685 cultural heritage sites damaged or lost.

Russians killed 25 people, including 3 children, in Ternopil today with a missile attack. Another 73 people, including 15 children, were injured. Russians target civilians almost exclusively – a war crime. All Western countries except Ukraine refuse to fight to stop this horror.

We tried parroting Russian propaganda and telling Ukraine to bow down. We tried denigrating European allies and refusing to discuss real security guarantees. We tried rolling out the red carpet for Putin and saying we deserved a Nobel Prize for that. Now we’re “seriously considering stepping back.”

Attacking federal employees and making data disappear are two themes of this administration. So this is a twofer: the annual survey of federal employees has been cancelled. Obvious reason is to hide big declines in worker morale, engagement and satisfaction. federalnewsnetwork.com/workforce/20...

After months of postponing, OPM opts to fully cancel 2025 FEVS
The cancellation comes after OPM indefinitely delayed FEVS earlier this year, due to the Trump administration’s “urgent” changes for federal employees.

When the market of ideas has left them behind & they are not in control, conservatives whine about fairness & demand "viewpoint diversity." I promise you, the minute they have the power to do it, that notion will go out the window & liberal ideas will be forced out.
