Gilbert & Sullivan literally wrote a mocking song about some idiot with no experience becoming the head of the navy like Trump just chose.

I love how even the simplest of posts/replies acts as an irresistible attractant for block candidates.

Crypto … block
Lottery winner … block
MAGA … block

It has been a most productive afternoon!

Advice for scholars: next time you lecture on Kant and revolutions at “Downing” (Darwin) College Cambridge, make sure your hair is neatly tied and that you’re not blonde. Or else your research impact will be on the Spectator libido section.

The library being "the last real third space" isn't a reason to keep adding new responsibilities to the library; it is a reason to create more third spaces.

Nobody ever pronounced a name they encountered in a book wrong. They just might have pronounced it differently to other people.
