LOL. Maybe the friends we made were the ones we bought after defacing their ads all along?

There are ads all over the NYC subways and, I swear, almost every single one has been covered with comments about how awful it is. Someone painted all of the out at my stop!

That petition has been up for over two months and has about 250 signatures. This post is getting likes about 350x faster so where's @cbsnews.com now?

First NYPL director John Shaw Billings mentioned. Around these parts we know him best as the creator of a system of call numbers in which asterisks are now inconveniently significant characters

They do the Bill and Ted air guitar at one point (I’m not kidding!)

Nooooooooooo!

This is terrible news. Every release is, like, forcing me more and more to try this out

The tomb was designated the “Tomb of Cerberus” after the incredible mural of Hercules fighting the three-headed dog that guarded the underworld.

October 5: Apologies for the bad news, but today is one of the 3 unluckiest days of the year in the Roman calendar. Definitely let people know that the underworld opens up to the living today (mundus patet) and so you just can’t leave your house, especially to sail (also on August 24 & November 8).

Smiling Mychal with hands raised wears an outer space shirt in a library. It is a still from an episode of Reading Rainbow.

LeVar Burton smiles with hands behind his head as he lies down on a colorful pile of books. ENEMY PIE book rests on his chest.

There have been two hosts in the history of Reading Rainbow. The Legend of Literacy, LeVar Burton! And... me, Mychal Threets, a librarian 🥹🤯

I am a reader, a librarian because LeVar Burton and Reading Rainbow made us believe and see we belong in books, we belong everywhere ✨

Beavis and Butt-Head sitting in school desks. Butt-head is facing Beavis as if to speak the caption, a line spoken in the play "A Man for All Seasons" by Sir Thoman More, "It profits a man nothing to sell his soul for the whole world... but for Wales?"

I don't think we'll ever get a Beavis and Butt-Head "A Man for All Seasons", but just saying it out loud so if does does happen in the future, I can say, with proof, I would not have believed it

Still can't quite believe that this is a real thing but @alexwinter.com and Keanu were great

🏺 This was the day of the Pyanopsia (Πυανόψια) or “Festival of the Boiled Beans” when an offering of bean stew was made to Apollo. I know that sounds like a joke, but it’s real
