No. However theyre eschewing EBITDA for their own metric, "positive adjusted operating income". Make of that what you will.

The Library is devastated to learn of the passing of Dolly Parton, a music legend and titan of children's literacy. Her Imagination Library program has earned multiple Library Literacy Awards and, in 2018, she visited us to donate its 100 millionth book to our collection and host a story time. 🦋❤️

That’s interesting because my largest complaint about Bluesky is the lack of insightful AI discussion. Do you have recommendations for any follows/feeds to subscribe to?

Interesting to note this approach is in line with many democrats “anti-crime” approach. E.g. Newsom surged CHP in hotspots in California. Per usual the real effect was more harassment of black and brown people. oaklandside.org/2026/01/21/n...

What happened when Gavin Newsom sent a ‘surge’ of state troopers to fight crime in Oakland

The governor promised a crackdown on crime. But in 2024, the first year of the surge, state troopers arrested very few violent criminals.

No you're right. Rouge One isn't that good. I rewatched after Andor and it doesn't hold up at all. The corny music cues, the infamous Franken-script. It's not "good". It was sorta interesting departure at the time but not that good at all

They control all 3 branches, have implemented 53% of Proj. ‘25, killed Roe, the VRA and USAID (leading to the deaths of thousands), pardoned Jan. 6 rioters and built a network of prison camps. Are they unstoppable super villains? No. But I worry that a lot of folks are dismissing real risk

James Frazier @jfrazier.bsky.social · 16/07/2026

Uh….by what indications do you have that this hasn’t been (at least) 5 years in the making. 1/6 happened 6 years ago. Their efforts pre-date that by many years (depending on how far back you want to go). As we saw with Project2025 et al ….they’re clearly coordinated and have been scheming

@thehighsign.bsky.social thank you for all the wonderful Gabfest memories. I’ve been a @slate.com reader since the 1990’s and listened to the Culture Gabfest for every one of your 18 years. You opened my mind, introduced me to art, and genuinely were one the best parasocial friends groups ever.

Musk says not a single person has died due to him axing USAID. Sadly, part of my job involves tracking aid spending. So here’s a thread with just some of the people who lost their lives because of USAID cuts

Fatherhood is equal parts joy, chaos, pride, worry, laughter, and love. I wouldn’t trade a minute of it. Grateful for my kids, my family, and the privilege of being called Dad. Happy Father’s Day to all the fathers out there doing their best every day.

I had so much fun hanging with @kelseyhightower.com last week at our .NEXT conference. As always, spending time with him means laughing, learning, and trying to gather as many pearls of wisdom as possible.

Kelsey Hightower and I are sitting on a stage in conversation; he is looking at the audience and smiling, and I am laughing and looking at him.

It’s inaccurate to say Mario is brave and Luigi is cowardly Luigi is afraid of death, so he runs away from danger. Mario is afraid of living, so he runs towards death. Both brothers are cowards in their own way

"Budgets are tight. First on the agenda, we are increasing classroom size to 80 students, firing half the teachers, and canceling all extracurricular activities. Second, all police will now get a personal jet pack, diamond-encrusted Kevlar vests, and access to 24/7 spa treatments."

We’ve long been told that no dictator who assumed power via democratic means left democratically. Assuming Orban steps down, does that mean the adage is no longer true?

“I am political,” Ms. Rachel told me of her new effort to free kids from ICE detention. “It’s political to believe that children are worthy of love … and that our care shouldn’t stop at what we look like, our family, at our religion, at a border. Mr. Rogers was very political.”

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue
