Library of Congress staff just showed what resistance looks like. After Trump abruptly fired Dr. Carla Hayden, the respected Librarian of Congress, he tried to install Todd Blanche, his former personal lawyer and current Deputy Attorney General, as acting librarian. Staff weren’t having it.

I haven’t been on here much, bc I haven’t had much to say. Now I do.
My house is 2 blocks outside of the #EatonFire burn zone.
When I learned that our house survived, I didn’t understand why it was spared when so many others were not. I knew I was meant to DO something, there was a reason… 1/?

I know I haven’t started processing the #EatonFire yet, and I knew I was disconnected. Everything feels like I’m watching a really vivid documentary about another time and place. My only reaction today has been, “huh, well, that’s gonna suck.” For whoever it’s actually happening to, I guess.

Scientologists have been making off with truckloads of donations across LA all week. There’s a group of them recruiting “volunteers” in a parking lot by Fair Oaks & Mountain in Pasadena if anyone wants to stop by and…say hello…

This #EatonFire “update” is a fucking joke.

Not much could make me laugh right now, but this did it.
Hope the LA Times is being sure to print the fire’s point of view too.

I asked Lexis+ AI a series of questions related to CA sexual harassment law (FEHA) and then asked if the plaintiff could sue under federal law.
Yes, it said…and pointed to Title VII, then said there were both similarities and differences between the state and fed laws.
Good, right? Well…

Hey law librarians…this antiracism in the classroom series is geared for teachers and librarians. I asked the facilitator if it is appropriate for graduate school-level educators and she said, “yes, absolutely!”
Registration link coming soon.

At what point does GenAI just become the snake eating its own tail - ingesting content that it created, thus creating content that’s even less vetted/accurate?

Liberals who think all they need to do is vote every 2-4 years (after much hand-wringing about the *always* super flawed candidates, of course), but spend the entire time in between complaining about how “the Democrats” are useless… 🧵

I haven’t seen the movie version of Wicked yet (I have Covid and life is terrible), but I’m a fan of the musical from way back.
The way the politics mirror the current situation just continues to leave me somewhat dumbstruck. As does how a lot of people continue to totally miss it. 🧵 #wicked

You’d think someone who’s been in Congress since Papa Bush was president would know that a Republican president (and Congress) will never cut military spending.
You’d also think Bernie supporters would be smart enough not to fall for this.
You’d be wrong.
