Who will be the first to frame paying more for gas, etc. as an act of patriotism?

Ok I'm in 🤢
Do tell

Tell me more, maybe I'll sign up

Wendy Macnoughton fixed it

A gentle reminder that someday all social media will end. And we’ll return to our books. And hope they’ll still speak to us.

For years, Trump has promised to imminently release his infrastructure plan, health care plan, tax returns, & medical records. But he never seems to get around to it. But he did promise today to pardon J6 defendants on his first day in office. That he has time to do immediately.

Libraries are the best places 🥰

I open my Bluesky feed and it is full of really cool people saying really smart things and being really passionate about really interesting stuff.

I like this version of social media, and the world.

Thanks, folks.

Just so we’re clear -
Any party telling you who you can love, what gender you are, which medicine you can take, which books you can read, which history you can learn, what prayers you should pray and what you can and cannot do with your own body, doesn’t give a fuck about freedom.

Me every time a new person is announced on that man’s team.

I’m a public librarian in a degenerating democracy, and I am pleading: Care about your library. Use it. See what programs and events it offers. And pay attention to its governing body. See who the trustees are. Consider running yourself. Libraries will need all the community support they can get. 📚

Not dystopian at all

If you're not rich and you voted for Trump, you're a fool at best.
If you are rich and you voted for him, you're selfish at best.
Those are just the most generous explanations.

I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time - when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the key manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness. The dumbing down of America is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30-second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance.

Today would have been Carl Sagan's 90th birthday. He wrote this in 1995. Carl was absolutely right. #CarlSaganDay
