To this day, I remain irrationally disappointed that Statham didn’t play a character named Detective Chaos in the movie CHAOS.

Please, if you love anything about this life, stop using ChatGPT and other GenAI. Just stop. Don't use it to dunk on it, don't use it for a laugh, just stop and let that shit wither.

Our libraries and library professionals are keystones of our communities fostering minds and offering services to individuals regardless of background. We must lift them up, especially this National Library Week, and demand that Trump and DOGE do not gut support for these vital institutions.

Ill advised for a clip of NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN (a movie they had nothing to do with producing) to be included in the Oscar tribute to Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson.
