Of all the shows I've been to, Weezer's concert on the Green Album tour is probably the only one where I genuinely feared for my life. Voting Röyksopp.

I'm not normally one to quibble about the rankings, especially when they're as close as these two albums. But boy howdy should these ranks have been the other way around.

Happy Charlie Brown Thanksgiving to all who celebrate
Still from "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving." Lucy holds a football for Charlie Brown, who is going to try to kick it, but be thwarted by Lucy pulling it away. In the foreground, I'm holding a plate with toast, jelly beans, popcorn, pretzels, and an ice cream sundae.

The shuttering of the Institute of Museum and Library Services is going to wreck a lot of existing resources that see heavy use from library patrons. Below is just PA - this is happening in every state. saveimls.org

do you like interlibrary loan service? do you like libraries and museums in general? funding from IMLS keeps libraries running, especially in rural areas, and that funding is in jeopardy thanks to the latest in this cascading parade of dipshittery.

Stringer Bell would never
Still from "The Wire." A Black man in a red polo shirt looks incredulous. Caption text reads "Is you making war plans on a Signal fucking group chat?" Which is a bastardization of the original line "Is you taking notes on a criminal fucking conspiracy?"

Which, when you think about it, is basically the same thing.

I've had close contact with the Institute of Museum and Library Services over my career - as a grantee, as an evaluator, and as an advisor. The return on investment they provide is exponential. Call your congresscritter and speak up for IMLS. You won't know what you're missing until it's gone.

This is infuriating. 18F is my inspiration for the way technologists can work in govt. Their work is a model for what any so-called "government efficiency" effort should be able to accomplish. My only hope is that they (and we) can keep working for a better system - for the people, by the people.
