WHY DON'T PEOPLE IN HIGHER EDUCATION, EITHER WORKING IN OR ATTENDING SCHOOL, KNOW HOW TO USE A LIBRARY?!?!?!

An incomparable resource is a terrible thing to waste. C'mon people!

NOTHING that he espoused aligned with the Gospels of Jesus Christ. The blasphemy at this moment is infuriating.

He thinks he can do more. You know what? He can!! He could solve the entire unaffordable housing crisis in Boston by writing a check to invest in affordable housing. Instead m, he wrote checks for his pathetic campaign.

And that may be why it failed.

If the federal show of force in Washington has had a deterrent effect on crime, it appears to have deterred entirely normal aspects of city life, too.

Why are human beings (or maybe just β€œdeveloped” humans/countries) so infatuated with bullshit? AI, Tik Tok, β€œinfluencers”, just about every bit of crap that passes the airwaves? Seems a bit oxymoronic.

Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a rancid bigot.

New in PN: Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism

β€œ'I’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable,' Judge Young fumed. 'I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this.'

*More of this, please*"

From his own website: "U.S. Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) introduced a resolution designating June as β€˜Fidelity Month’ to celebrate faith, family values, and patriotism."

He's a true man of faith and family, that one. Disgusting.

For those upset that the Washington Post is a business and asks people to pay for its content (what a crazy idea!!), I will share, via my subscription to the NY Times, their coverage of this story. I'm happy pay for quality journalism & happy I'm able to share. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/19/u...

And I'm a librarian. I believe in access to information. But I've also watched the demise of my own profession due to some belief that everything should always be freely available. It's just not sustainable.

Yes, when they were just getting into digital subscriptions. It was a marketing strategy. At this point in time, given the financial strains on legitimate journalism, they simply cannot afford such. (And 2010 was 15 years ago, now.) ;)

🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️

FWIW, there has always been a paywall for major newspapers, whether in print or online. It's called a subscription. It's how they pay their journalists to do the work that they do. Why we think everything should be free today, I dunno. Wanna work for free?

Remember: If unions didn’t matter, powerful corporations wouldn’t spend millions of dollars every year to stop workers from organizing. Keep up the fight.

Right? And why in the world do researchers feel obligated to comply with rules when NIH has demonstrated they'll cancel your funding at any point, regardless of what you do. Such a crock of poo.

Accelerating Access to Research Results: New Implementation Date for the 2024 NIH Public Access Policy Speeding access to research results will support NIH's goal of maximum transparency.

This is truly one of the most disingenuous statements I have ever read - nih.gov/about-nih/wh...

People don't trust science because of people just like the current NIH Director, who purposefully mislead the public regarding research.
