The framing in The Daily today is insane. "Trump administration is penalizing dissent by withholding research funding" is presented as "Harvard has a problem" instead of "We're living in an autocracy and we all have a problem"

ANYWAY, did you know there's an extension you can put on Chrome that will connect with your local library system and when you go look at a book, say on AMZ, it will tell you if that book exists in the library system and if it's available?
It's literally called Library Extension.
