Survey finds 47% of college students are using methamphetamine during finals week.
Edtech companies immediately demand that libraries purchase "safer" concentrated caffeine pills to distribute and hold seminars on "responsible stimulant use"

You should absolutely not be using AI for health advice.

There is no grey area here.

"pro antifa" is logically just "fa".
But for the people saying it, it all just comes back to "do".

We do LOTS of print jobs that I have to skim first, and I'm always so tempted to go "No, ducks, that's a heresy and also bad for your mental health" "Aw, girl, just dump his sorry ass" and "for the love of God, DO NOT SEND THESE PEOPLE YOUR ID"

For how can tyrants safely govern home,
Unless abroad they purchase great alliance?

YES THANK YOU SOMEBODY SAID IT

They are not planning "a violent crackdown" on 10.18. What they are doing is sending a signal to their shock troops to try to cause havoc. But those shock troops will be vastly outnumbered. Go out and protest freely. Do not be cowed.

New era of shanties has arrived @erinbiba.bsky.social

I want an unprecedented meltdown on the right so I want Greta Thunberg to get the Nobel Peace Prize this year

None of us can do everything but each of us can do SOMETHING.

This is my dance about how much transphobes suck.

I'm sorry but it's just wild we are in the middle of a government shutdown and the House Republicans are REFUSING TO SHOW UP FOR WORK so they can protect billionaire pedophiles and billionaire tax breaks.

I’m not autistic, just a parent to an autistic kid w/ fairly significant support needs, but I personally find it very frustrating to see so many people fixated on preventing, reducing, or “curing” autism and neurodiversity instead of talking about inclusion + getting folks whatever support they need

Leo questioned a world where the wealth of the elite grows "exponentially" while many "millions of people die of hunger or survive in conditions unfit for human beings." He also criticized "ideologies that defend the absolute autonomy of the marketplace and financial speculation," with false promises "that a free-market economy will automatically solve the problem of poverty." Leo described a "new tyranny," which shuns any kind of oversight and where the economy is structured "in such a way that sacrifices are demanded of the masses in order to serve the needs of the powerful." The poor, he wrote, are only allowed "drops that trickle down." The pope openly challenged "prosperity theology" and called Christians to the practice of giving charity. "It will not solve the problem of world poverty, yet it must still be carried out, with intelligence, diligence and social responsibility," he wrote. Popular movements that challenge "the empire of money," invite people to take on the cause to combat poverty alongside the poor, instead of on their behalf, and "make history," the pope said. It our duty, Leo said, to "make their voices heard, albeit in different ways, in order to point out and denounce such structural issues, even at the cost of appearing foolish or naïve."

Pope Leo is spitting.

Tiny vent: I got a bug bite on the knuckles of my right hand, and it's right where the handle of my cane rubs, and now it's infected or something and it is driving me INSANE

May this truly be beginning of a real ceasefire, and the beginning of permanent peace and *true justice* for everyone in the land.

May the memories of all those annihilated in the genocide, all those slaughtered, be for a revolution.

Oregon National Guard Adjutant General, General Gronewold says if they are federalized, that he will advise the Title 10 commander to utilize National Guard Troops to PROTECT protesters at ICE facilities. This is the right answer.

Dear Alex, We are writing to share an important update coming to Ebook Central that will help improve ebook discoverability. At the end of October 2025, Ebook Central Express MARC records will include AI-generated metadata when publisher metadata fields are not available. Why are we introducing AI-generated metadata to Ebook Central records? Most publishers include subject information in their metadata, but there are times when this information is not included, leading to limited search availability in discovery systems. For this reason, we are providing AI-generated Library of Congress subject headings only when not available from the publisher to improve the completeness of our metadata and discoverability of Ebook Central titles.  

Which AI-generated fields are included in Express MARC?  The AI-generated fields will include Library of Congress Subject Heading (LCSH) (6XX); Library of Congress Classification (050); Dewey Decimal (082); Description (520); and Source of Description (588). To learn more, please visit our FAQ page.

What the shit, Clarivate! Anyone using Ebook Central MARC records, be warned. They're jamming those records with AI generated metadata. Auto-enabled but you can disable it.
