My players met their fate with Kraken tonight in a vicious TPK. A moment of silence for The Rat Basterds. They fought valiantly till the end.

My wife poured her heart and soul into this amazing book that highlights her incredible expertise. You should do yourself a favor and pick it up even if you aren't in the library world. Some really good mental health pieces in here that can help give you another way to view success.
Preorder is up, it’s getting REAL!

Wait until you see the cover 👀

A student on TikTok has been documenting her journey with a professor who “wrote” the anatomy textbook and it’s all a bunch of AI hallucinations.

She’s saying that, understandably, the students are doing super poorly!

Behold what we’re teaching the healthcare professionals of tomorrow:

ME: Now Mom, just remember, there's a lot of disinformation and AI in your social feed and your friends' Facebook.
MOM: I know! My friend sent me this crazy post where someone used AI to make an image of a giant frog fighting Army troops!
ME: ... okay, no, that one's ... goddamit, Portland.

If you are a woman or female presenting in the Valley look out for a man with glasses and this plate. Took it off a TikTok video in which LITERALLY HUNDREDS of women reported him asking for help moving a box from his backseat to his trunk with a fake bandage around his arm, something Ted Bundy did.

"How can we find the Joe Rogan of the left?" is the wrong question. "How do we get all these dudes to some punk rock shows?" is the right one.

Whatever you do, please don’t stop reading.

Read for joy. Read for education. Read for resistance. Read banned books. Read books by marginalized authors. Read about experiences that differ from your own.

Just. Keep. Reading.
