I had not seen this clip where Tammy Duckworth advises Democrats to "not impeach anybody," "get back to work" and "allow" Donald Trump to "save face" and I would just like to remind the senator from IL that the federal government took 4,000 Chicagoans and murdered a 38-year-old father last fall.

To catch you up, I bought the show I used to make and we (well, *I*) just posted the first new interview in 6+ years. It’s @wilwheaton.net! I find out how he’s doing better these days - trauma source identified! - and we hear his 2017 interview too. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Well, here's what you missed: an evening of Devo films and videos, restored by the severely cool Peter Conheim. He told tales of reconstructing the videos from the original elements, an enormous undertaking to be sure. There was also a sighting of Devo right-hand man Michael Pilmer, I think

I have stayed silent for too long. I think Crystal Lake is a bad camp and people should stop sending their kids there. Enough is enough. I hope people read this and take this seriously and don’t ignore the warning signs like I did. Bad stuff keeps happening there.

@emanuelmaiberg.bsky.social sat down with Jennie Rose Halperin to talk about how generative AI is destroying library collections, and how digital marketplaces like Amazon are being inundated with AI slop which makes it harder for independent publishers. Watch now: www.youtube.com/watch?v=mS0x...

Another great artist died. I've been lucky enough to see several Kusama rooms in different cities, and they've all been fascinating experiences. She was one of those artists whose work is instantly understandable and enjoyable. RIP apnews.com/article/yayo...

The absolute pinnacle of my career was getting to talk to Dolly Parton about books for 15 minutes. Dolly was the kind of person we should all aspire to be -- talented, funny, generous, a ray of goddamn sunshine. The world is going to be a much grimmer place without her.

Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library charity delivers more than a million free books each month to kids. Parton spoke with American Libraries about reading, books, and her first children's album.
