These new Knicks uniforms are nice 🏀🏆

I'm not saying I'm a huge #Prince fan, I'm just saying I set my VPN to Minneapolis when I'm on the library WiFi.

Ok, let's talk about summer reading and "beach reads" for a minute. I work in a public library down the Jersey Shore and once removed sand from a book by Sigmund Freud. Someone packed this title in their beach bag. You're FINE.

🚨 Taylor Swift announces new six-part docuseries ‘Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour | The End of an Era’ coming to Disney+ on December 12th. Accompanied by a new concert film for her final Eras Tour show, titled ‘Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour | The Final Show.’

If you’re looking for some sleepy time white noise tonight, I had an ~~idea~~ this week… It’s a white noise video that donates all revenue to Partners in Health and you can watch it here: youtu.be/dv2XyqC-EQ4

If this were a business, which it most certainly is not, the IRS would be a profit center and the military would be a cost center.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

So which is worse, comparing Elon Musk to Robert Moses or comparing Kendrick Lamar to Robert Caro?

From a FOIA perspective, "the entire federal workforce should write down and email what they did last week" is extremely funny

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

The 2025 DOGE Federal Funding Action reminds me of when we were labeling the breaker box when I was a kid.

So Over on X our friends from Moon Pie did this:

Let us all pray for the Philadelphia Department of Public Works 🕯️

For those who are watching the Super Bowl this Sunday, some backstory on the halftime show from @joshjohnsoncomedy.bsky.social youtu.be/K3uWj2MpydI?...

If a 19-year-old Canadian who calls himself Big Balls marches into your federal agency and demands access to your system, telling him to fuck right off should be the mildest reaction you have.

a rare but important silver lining journalism is still alive and kicking

Thank you, Taylor. Even though I never went to the concerts, I lived it vicariously through all your fans. It was a magical thing to watch unfold.

I always think it’s important to point out (since it usually is little discussed these days) that Rosa Parks was fired from her seamstress job in Montgomery and was basically blacklisted from being employed in the city. She had to move to Detroit because of discrimination after this.

#whamageddon It’s not even noon yet!!!

#DoesThisMakeUsFriendsNow I’ve got bargain lemonade.

The usual suspects are out there yelling "There are 23 million government workers! Fire most of them!" No awareness that most work for local governments, and most of *them* are schoolteachers. Federal employment hasn't grown since the 1950s

This is one of those videos that you could work on forever, but suddenly it felt very important to make it, so I finally did: www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8Pn...

How do you catch a game ball in the stands at a football game?????

We filed our appeal in Hachette v. Internet Archive yesterday. If we are unsuccessful in our fight, libraries won’t be allowed to own and lend digital books, only license them from big media corporations. Why is that bad for YOU? 🧵in comments blog.archive.org/2023/12/15/i...

we are now officially at the "elon told his mommy to scold the president" stage of whatever the hell is going on

That’s pretty much my reaction when reading wordless installation instructions.

This statement from Biden about Henry Kissinger is one cold-blooded shiv of a paragraph, to a degree that I truly didn't expect we were going to get. I'm impressed.

This is a great time to unsubscribe from things, all those Black Friday promos will remind you who’s got your information. I’m doing this on my breaks between social exposures to the fam.

has science gone too far

That Home Depot/milkshake analogy is going to live absolutely rent-free in my head forever.

I’m not a sabermetrician, but I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express in Cooperstown once.

What? For what purpose?

Weird label placement strikes again.
