Luke. Librarian. Nerd. Good at words. Terrible at Bluesky. He/him. Bi/pan/whatever.
I've shared before, people have literally come into the library looking for things we don't have because AI told them we have it. When we tell them AI is wrong they just ask the AI where to find it.
Then they get mad at us. 😑

Some posts by @shezcrafti.com about Tonya Harding reminded me about this football card binder full of Nancy Kerrigan cards I found at the thrift store a while back.
When people tell you there was a card set for everything in the 90s, they mean EVERYTHING.

Don’t do the work of your haters for them. Your imposter syndrome is a little bitch who can’t even enjoy a sunrise. The part of you that tells you “you’re not good enough” without ANY evidence is an asshole who has never mopped a floor or sorted the mail. They add nothing! Throw them away!

Mechanic: buddy, I’ve never seen metal fatigue take off a car door.
Me: oh no, I broke the door off with a baseball bat after reading the news. Mental fatigue.

I suspect that a lot of the wealthy owners and operators of national media outlets with kids in private schools fundamentally don't grasp that regular US citizens with kids in the public schools are FURIOUS because ICE is terrorizing THEIR NEIGHBORS and THEIR KIDS' BEST FRIENDS.

I realize that I went to school to develop research into a primary career skill, but come on. Fucking TRY.

It's your basic "kids of a certain generation" thing. Having comics that came to you FOR FREE in the newspaper your parents were getting anyway was amazing.
And in the days when graphic novels weren't easy to find, comic strip collections were common and most parents wouldn't say no to them!

why did so many millennials read so many newspaper comics? easily 60 percent of my reading diet in elementary/middle school was collected editions of calvin and hobbes, farside, dilbert, peanuts, doonesbury (!), foxtrot (?!?) and i know im not alone. historically unique phenomenon
rather than talk about Scott Adams I want to talk about something weirder (me). Who else was really into Dilbert when you were 12. Who else was like, boy, I can't wait to work a cubicle job

The only reason that constant population growth is necessary is capitalism. The only reason that population growth is falling is also capitalism.
There are other factors and I'm not ignorant of them. But if you're not starting with capitalism then you're not going to fix anything.

sometimes you don’t realize how bad the consultant slop democrats use is until AOC speaks like a normal human and actually empathizes with us
AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

It literally doesn't matter. I've worked retail; 48 hours of one album isn't even a challenge. For 2 million I'd let the challenger pick! 🤣
If someone put $1,000,000 on the table and said you had to listen to one album on repeat for 48 hours straight…
what album are you risking your sanity for?
