racism, capitalism, and greed are the problem.

I agree.
Trump has genius instincts but no ideological inputs. Nothing beyond survive and amass power.
His handlers have an ideology but it’s kind of irrelevant to his success at moving it forward. Their ideology sincerely is a mashup of eugenics & scifi whiteness.

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

Well there are 5 candidates running for mayor who aren’t in Trump’s back pocket, aren’t funded by MAGA mega donors, don’t have long histories of harassment, haven’t spent $60 million of our taxes to go after victims, and haven’t defunded the subway and public hospitals. Maybe consider them?

It’s mostly white people who talk about echo chambers. Maybe you need the internet to meet people with different ideas but the rest of us do not. We know what the “other side” thinks because we deal with it every day! Everywhere! We’re fine. Carry on. Happy Saturday!

Me: “I don’t work for free. And I advise other librarians to also not work for free, especially for for-profit companies.”

Jim Jordan, who actively participated in efforts to steal the election and turned a blind eye to sexual abuse of young men in his care, is running for Speaker.
Jim Jordan becomes first to announce run for speaker
His candidacy will likely run right into Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.), who is also considering a speakership bid and has worked to court conservatives.

Library Worklife wants to know what you're doing to feel rejuvenated now that the pandemic is over.
