Well that’s a hot pro-glove use with books take

It's interesting that my entire life they said wear gloves to protect from deteriorating the delicate pages. Oils on our hands and fingertips increase the rate at which old paper deteriorates. And now we have a world wide government focused on rewriting history and they've magically changed the rule. Now they want you to use your hands when handling old manuscripts and rare books.
And they've told you it's good for the books.
Almost as if they want the knowledge in those books to naturally disappear. Just something to think about. I've got a couple of old books myself.
And I plan to continue using soft cloth gloves and thin tongs with soft cloth on the tips to handle my rare books. But hey, that's just me. I like to do research and make decisions based on that rather than listen to what everyone else says. As the old saying goes, if everyone is jumping off a bridge, will you jump too?

Of all the AI nonsense that comes my way, the one I really don’t understand is the PhD proposal. What do people think a PhD is? Do they know that it’s really expensive in the UK and there are no jobs?

I've spent years going after waste: corporate contractors overcharging taxpayers, insurers gaming Medicare, billionaires dodging taxes. But DOGE wasn't about any of that. It served the rich and powerful while leaving working Americans worse off.

Having now dealt with the deaths of two parents within two months, let me just say that the kindest thing you can do for your loved ones, at every stage of life, is assume that some of them will outlive you, and make that as easy as possible for them, logistically. it sucks and it's morbid, but.

John Roberts and the SCOTUS Republicans have allowed Trump to proceed with his egregious mail-in voting restrictions. 21 years ago, I warned at Roberts' confirmation hearing he would be a dangerously right-wing Chief Justice. I have sadly been proven right, over and over.
