I've tried like seven times now to download the @libib.com app on iPhone, and every single time I click on it in the app store, the icon just spins endlessly without ever starting the download. I've checked my storage, restarted the phone - nada.

if I am to engage in les honestiè brutal, the thing which most greatly restricts my media consumption is my inability to tolerate secondhand embarrassment. gore? no problem. horror? absolutely. profoundly distressing themes? sure. sex? of course! a single person being awkwardly terrible? hard no.

According to a state epidemiologist, "CDC personnel who normally share information with state officials during outbreaks have been eliminated."

“One veteran researcher who still has his job (and, like other public-health workers I spoke with for this story, requested anonymity for fear of losing it) told me he believes that Kennedy’s ultimate goal is to “silence the scientific voice of career CDC scientists.””

Israel has banned Palestinians from celebrating the release of Palestinian prisoners [hostages] & banned their families from giving interviews

Contrast that with the celebrations around the release of Israeli hostages & the many interviews being broadcast around the world.

I’m enjoying the retaking of frogs. I always felt incredibly sad for the original illustrator of pepe who had his creation stolen and exploited

Graffiti in a disused farm building

"I want a femboy for my birthday" painted in red with "You own a mirror" painted in black under it. Both are painted on a grey wall made of wooden planks in some sort of farm building. The building is one of many at a long defunct farm that's now a part of a park. The purpose of this building isn't immediately obvious but it looks like there used to be individual stalls for cows or horses

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.
