Molluscs are very fond of public libraries

Rhode Island Public Libraries
Here are the Public Libraries across Rhode Island. The symbol is from the @nounproject.bsky.social, which is probably one of the best subscriptions I have. The symbols are graduated by square footage.

I really try not to act like a crazy person but nice progressive Democrats telling you point blank "we can't do anything to stop people from breaking the law or being outwardly dangerous sociopaths because they might get mad" is an awfully familiar place for anyone in cycling/pedestrian advocacy
France raises a fascinating hypothetical point: what if the law still exists even if people might get mad at you

Crypto reserve this, Bitcoin bailout that, where is the strategic oyster reserve huh?
Let’s see, Donald Trump launched his crypto business right before taking office. Melania did the day before the inauguration. Junior launched a new one too. Oh, and of course Eric did.

The consensus among our mollusc community this week, both bivalve and free swimming, is overwhelmingly supportive of the eagles victory this past weekend; despite skepticism over supporting "birds" in general

Maybe we're cynical but here at the institute we're wondering what took him so long to come to this conclusion, and a little worried about the judgement of someone who need that much time to work it out
Whitehouse to vote ‘no’ on RFK Jr.
Advocacy works.
“Mr. Kennedy has not come remotely close to providing adequate assurances that he will follow the well-established science on vaccines, nor remedy the ways CMS hurts Rhode Island, so I cannot support his nomination.”

Might as well be taking a moon snail's word it will steer clear of radulating holes in clam shells am I right?
Expecting #RFK to honor his word and stay clear of #vaccine related matters is one of the dumbest things I have heard in many, many years of hearing #Democrats get the rest of us taken for suckers.
#BirdfluBobby remains unqualified and dangerous. Vote no.

Democratic Senators demand health pick Kennedy's recusal from vaccine matters if confirmed
Two U.S. senators who will vote this week on whether to advance Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s nomination as the top U.S. health official demanded on Monday that he recuse himself from all agency matters related to vaccines, arguing that President Donald Trump's pick holds unscientific views about their safety and stands poised to benefit financially from such decisions.

When the Patriot Act was passed, libraries got requests for patrons’ borrowing history. We were prohibited from disclosing those requests.
We deleted and shredded those records and stopped tracking reading history for that reason.

Whether or not molluscs can feel fear as we understand it is up for debate, but every member of the phylum I've spoken to has made it clear they think RFK Jr is unfit for the position

Though the institute itself is not reliant on federal funds, the scallops of Greenwich Bay and the Upper Narragansett have issued a formal statement, calling the administration's freeze "a desperate attempt to avoid giving the scallops what they're owed"

Can we please stop with the distractions and focus on what's really important? Expanding the washington bridge from 6 lanes to 6 lanes but wider, so I don't have to take my foot off the gas when I cross?
