I would happily pay the IRS the same fee I paid to TurboTax for over a decade. This year, I finally used Direct File, and it was great. We deserve good things that make our lives easier and safer from our government.

Fantastic thread. My kid reluctantly rode a bike <2 miles with her dad, then a friend, then alone. Big eye rolls when I would say the dropoff line was evidence of cultural decline and mass psychosis.
Unrelated: she chose college in a different country where there are real trains and buses.

Yes. This is the metaphor! Bearing down on us. The heaviness; the burden.

I think it does say AP! Maybe a ligature version of the two letters? The ‘Cancer Society’ article has the same.

If you’re a student/faculty, your library’s interlibrary loan people should be so excited to get this for you! Like if my PDF is too blurry. (Were you looking for the ‘Leftist <slur>…’ article?)

Seconding Murderbot Diaries! The narration by Kevin R Free is splendid, even if it does kinda mess with the un-gendered robot narrator. And they’re novellas! The plot moves along! You’d get two in.

So much awfulness and also. Real grief over this.

互 cause it feels almost like an illustration of reciprocity.

Yes yes yes. In my world, legal information publishers don’t see a market for their old stuff, don’t want to build the tech to keep it, and definitely haven’t figured out how to sustainably sell it to libraries.

I also want to read more about this re: Murderbot!!

This particular bit is so galling to me professionally, as a law librarian. Durable, long term access to accurate legal resources is A Thing. There are real publications and venues for presidential actions. This is the work of a child roleplaying President.

I feel like I need to post something so: seconding this.

If you’re on campus, a pdf of the “Acts of the Privy Council in the Reign of James I” on page 201 has this. From 24 March. heinonline.org/HOL/Page?men...
