every writer should do their research, not only because it makes your writing better, but because it can lead to finding things like this New Yorker cover ft. chubby Pikachu with a huge sack of cash

My eternal frustration with Wonder Woman is that it could be much more credible with only a few small changes. For example, if you give the plane a second set of wings, it's a lot more believable, due to bi invisibility.

400 library workers begin their strike Monday after endless months of trying to negotiate with management. Already the anti-union propaganda machine is calling the library workers entitled. The LIBRARY workers. You don't staff the desk at the free stuff store because you're greedy.

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

Appropos of nothing, can I admit I’m deeply annoyed with Hank Green for casually admitting he uses AI for research? I like him, but he has a platform and resources to hire interns and fellows to do research for him. He could jump start careers that way. Instead…

"This might be unpopular but I'd like to discriminate against an entire class of people" If this is you, I hope the next 500 books you try to read are a disappointment.

maybe this is unpopular but I'd love libraries that kids aren't allowed in. truly don't want to be interrupted by running, crying, & yelling while i'm working/reading.

It’s worth noting that Taco Bell identified the source before the FDA did, and promptly pulled it from their stores. The FDA didn’t even name the source until Taylor Farms outed themselves, and hasn’t issued a recall. Basically, Taco Bell is now a more reliable authority than the FDA.

Watching my favorite Sam Neill tonight: the Merlin Miniseries. It has so much heart in it. And so many batshit costumes and aesthetic choices and I think that’s why it still feels so magical to me. Practical effects, strange pacing to show otherworldliness. I just love it.
