Libraries need to be more vocal about the digital pricing problem. I only buy for Sora (the school version of Libby) when specifically requested by a patron. I talk a lot about why I don't buy on the regular and patrons are always shocked at the price difference. I have to pay $75 not $1.99!
Your Libby rental was free for you, but did you know it cost the D.C. Public Library $59.99?
The e-book boom (and a complicated pricing model from publishers) has left library systems strapped for cash. But D.C. lawmakers have a plan to fight back. 51st.news/ebooks-are-e...

Libraries can't afford e-books. D.C. lawmakers have a plan.
The demand and price for e-books is up — and it’s busting the D.C. Public Library budget.

Republicans didn’t like the IRS and so they defunded it.
Republicans didn’t like the Dept of Education so when they had a chance they blew it up.
The whole country hates ICE and @schumer.senate.gov is giving us lame, weak, poll-tested pablum.
Seize the moment, my man!

Majority of the country now wants to abolish and/or dismantle ICE and yet Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. told the caucus the message had to be to “restrain, reform and restrict ICE.”
Once again it looks like Schumer is about to choke after getting a massive opportunity.
So pathetic and weak.

Senate Democrats plot strategy as DHS standoff deepens heading into shutdown week
Two sources who were on a Democratic caucus strategy call Sunday said Minority Leader Chuck Schumer told the group the message must be to “restrain, reform and restrict ICE.”

jack asked if i would sketch up a poster to tell people in nearby neighborhoods about the partnership between flock and ring, and this is what i came up with. it can be printed on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper.
![YOUR RING CAMERA IS AN ICE AGENT
[a drawing of a ring camera with an ice agent dragging a person away in its field of vision]
"In October of 2025, Amazon's Ring announced its partnership with FLOCK, an A.I. surveillance group that freely shares its footage with ICE, the secret service, and the navy. Flock customers can use A.I. tools to sift through footage to assist in all manner of operations (like raids and deportations) without a warrant. Unplug Ring! Melt ICE! Protect your neighbors!

Three million people live in Caracas, five million in the metro area. It's one of the densest cities in South America. Remember this in the morning when they try to spin this as anything other than a cold-blooded attack on a major civilian center.

A lot of people forget how in 2004 the Bush regime kidnapped the democratically elected President of Haiti, Jean-Bertrand Aristide, and dumped him in Africa.
Is there any modern precedent for abducting a head of state?
Plenty of examples of coups, assassinations and domestic trials, including show trials, but this is like a Crusader Kings plot.

come up with a fake but plausible folksy aphorism. use your phrase once in every conversation you have for a day. if someone asks you what your phrase means, you lose. if someone else uses your phrase, you win.

when one of the only two pro hockey players (neither NHL-level) who have come out, who now spends his career *trying* to change hockey culture, said that he loves the show but that it isn’t going to change the conformity & toxic hypermasculinity in hockey, fans acted offended or like he attacked it

If you tell a closeted gay hockey player it’s safe to come out because people will be “feral” about him & his boyfriend kissing & constantly want to post about his relationship and their fantasies about what he does in the bedroom & not about how he plays hockey…why do you think that would help?

Your favourite new TV hyperfixation did not magically make everything better - it went out of its way to not show the reality of how bad it really is, *because* that would be upsetting to you and not fit with the conventions of the genre.
