So on point. I can't remember exactly what year it was but when Taylor Swift used a Grammy win to drop more merch, it was the jumped shark moment for her that she rather just dive into money than creativity.

The packages arrived square and thin and carefully wrapped on Saturday afternoon. There were three of them, but only one was mine. If I could have rejected my package, sent it back from whence it came...

"I can’t think of anything more chilling to First Amendment activity, or more designed to prevent coverage of high-profile, newsworthy events, than to criminally charge reporters for being present on the scene,” he said. www.cjr.org/news/madelin...

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

For the love of humanity:

If attending an online meeting and you need to talk, please use a microphone or anything with a mic on it please. Your crappy computer catches room echo and distorts your voice.

That's all.

Also, this is what is wrong with the cable news formula. Even when they know nothing, they must fill the air and so they fill it with speculation. We don’t know why this terrible shooting happened. It’s dangerous to speculate motives or politics. Please stop.

I for one would love to see Ras Baraka primary @corybooker.com Booker's style of performative politics while doing the bidding of corporate interests has run its course.

What DOGE has perfectly demonstrated is that innovation for innovation (or disruption) sake costs human lives.

NJ Transit's line about NJTransit workers don't deserve the same wage as NY workers is the biggest BS line ever. The cost of living is basically the same. #strike #njtransitstrike

Happy National Library Week! If you don't have a library card, go get one. If you have one, use it!

Public goods thrive when everybody uses them. That's why they push kids to charter, home, and private schools, why they sow doubt and fear of libraries and our collections.

Use it or lose it!

Exactly what needed to be said at #acrl2025 where too many were uncritical of AI and its effects on society especially our students.

Brilliant. Thank you for saying and tying AI to what it does wrong to students and our society as well.

The greatness of going to conferences like #acrl2025 is the community we develop from such engagements, and the potential power from our shared experiences to change our communities at home.

Ran into a demonstration of indigenous community members outside the Hennepin County Library over the brutality by a private security company on a local man. According to them after George Floyd instead of reforming the police they invested in private "mercenaries".
