Right there with you. And that heโ€™s doing it knowing heโ€™s surrounded by microphones and cameras โ€” what happens when there arenโ€™t recording devices present?

I like how the repeated need to call Congress is collectively healing Millennials and Gen Z of their fear of phone calls.

Damn, if only we had an opposition party to say no at every possible turn to these guys.

His = Kaineโ€™s.

His only ever are during business hours. Itโ€™s been months (years?) since you could leave a message during off hours, which is not ideal for those of us who legally canโ€™t call during business hours.

I understand that. But itโ€™s what we have, so Iโ€™m going to continue to encourage people to do it. Unlike the Dems, I donโ€™t prefer to just cave when the road ahead seems tough.

Have a good night.

Yeah, I mentioned in other replies itโ€™s taken weeks to months to hear back from him. And itโ€™s always with boilerplate crap. But whatโ€™s the alternative when itโ€™s 9:19pm on a Sunday?

10.11.2025 02:19 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

And Iโ€™ve found I usually get responses weeks or months later from email contact.

He doesnโ€™t have his voicemail open and hasnโ€™t for months (years?). This and socials are the only options.

I shouldnโ€™t have to watch Senate floor proceedings like itโ€™s bottom of the ninth with two out and a full count in the World Series.

Itโ€™s unconscionable that he doesnโ€™t have even voicemail available and hasnโ€™t forโ€ฆmonths to years.

Itโ€™s so cowardly how @kaine.senate.gov keeps his voicemail off. Iโ€™ve sent a message instead, even knowing itโ€™ll probably be too late. I also called Warner, told him to come get his buddy.

Real life and current events arenโ€™t stressful enough so Iโ€™m voluntarily stressing myself out over a baseball game.

Just discussing what was typically searchable in a library catalog in terms of genres vs tropes vs kinks typically. Iโ€™ve always found it to be tough with romance RA especially as people are better able to identify and articulate specific preferences. Romance.io was a thrilling new-to-me resource tho

This just came up at a romance RA training I took yesterday! Interesting to see how trends influence subject headings and cataloging in real time.

Like, I guess theyโ€™re kind of linked as Topics, but it isnโ€™t intuitive and the interface of results is so ugh. I want the subject headings linked to a search page with that search term populated in the search box as a SH search.

Maybe Iโ€™m just interacting with the wrong systemโ€™s catalogs, but why doesnโ€™t Polaris Vega interface have linked subject headings (never mind that weโ€™ve move away from โ€œsubject headingsโ€ to language that is broader and, IMO, less helpful and more vague). #LibrarySky #Librarians

With how much money theyโ€™re giving Ohtani, the Dodgers might as well lay the rest of the team off and let him take all the positions. Heโ€™s basically playing the whole field as it is. What a machine.
