I would like to call attention to the following about Zohran Mamdani in NYC and Rob Jettens in the Netherlands:
- both won out against deeply conservative competitors
- both are leftist enough to shiver Fox hosts' timbers
- both are under 40
- both are just, oof, hot as beans
Sunny days, folks.

A while back I mentioned that I was invited by the National Library of Korea to write something. Well, it's out!
Link below is to the 1st issue of Library Plus, which contains "Vendors All the Way Down: Generative AI in US and Canadian Libraries."
E... Enjoy? 😬

For what it's worth, I'm a fan of @theconversation.com because things like this: theconversation.com/many-book-ba...
