That's because beyond budget problems, we're also quite limited in *where* we can buy books. If you can't find the missing volumes on Amazon, neither can we, and we can't look for them at yard sales or ebay, either.

At an industry event last night one (old media) journalist said “we may need institutions like the BBC because internet searches don’t return separate news stories now, but an AI summary that is usually wrong.”

It’s good to see that not all men are shitty. Two academics, Norman Finkelstein and Joseph Chaney, are in the Epstein files calling out who he is. 💪

According to FOX 9, a Minneapolis federal judge demanded to know why DOJ is missing deadlines & AUSA Julie Le said, "The system sucks, this job sucks" & asked to be held in contempt so she could sleep.
PACER shows she got assigned to defend the govt in 88+ cases since Operation Metro Surge started.

People also need to realize that just because a doctor is a heart surgeon doesn't make that doctor qualified to comment on literally any other area of medicine. Specialties are specialties for a reason!

The titers cost more than the vaccine. I made the decision to get a booster back in the fall and was able to get it done at Walgreens with no questions about "why" or "did your doctor order this" asked.
