I imagine Larry Summers would prefer if people went back to asking him about the Glass-Steagall Act right about now

Of course he’s now for releasing the #EpsteinFiles. He probably had Bondi destroy the ones he’s all over

I had a dream I found myself in an alternative universe & my journey began finding my dog as a stray, shivering on the street. Broke my heart because he was indeed a stray & he’s just the sweetest doggo. I hate thinking of him being alone and having to fend for himself. So now, It’s cuddles o’clock.

But. But. But The Dear Orange Leader said it was a Hoax!
Pam Bondi has now assigned a prosecutor to look into Epstein's ties to Democrats.
If this investigation was legitimate, why wasn't this investigation opened months ago?
If this investigation was legitimate, why isn't everyone mentioned in Epstein's emails being investigated?

Trump just said he'll be ordering an investigation into Jeffrey Epstein's involvement with Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, Reid Hoffman, J.P. Morgan, Chase and other people and institutions.
Not on that list: Donald Trump. Steve Bannon.

The American penny died on Wednesday in Philadelphia. It was 232. The cause was irrelevance and expensiveness, the Treasury Department said. Nothing could be bought any more with a penny, as the cost to mint the penny had risen to more than 3 cents. nyti.ms/48bFd5K

It's that time of year when people who treat reading as performance and competition are going to get mad because some people read 100-200 books this year. 🙄
Homie I read exactly 31 books this year, and I'm cool with it because as much as I love reading? It's not my whole personality.

Just finished “Gemini” by Jeffrey Kluger about the middle-child program between the venerated Mercury and Apollo missions. A quote: “Without Gemini, Men would have never walked on the Moon”. As a space nerd, I really enjoyed this one.

I wonder if his little hands signed all those pardons himself or did he use the autopen.

Currently doing some marking. A reminder to everyone involved in archives and collections: digitisation is not preservation. If I digitise a box of records and put the files on a USB stick I haven't preserved a thing. It's all about what you do with the files post-digitisation. #archives #digipres
