I'm not really supposed to talk about politics but I needed to get that out.

The thing about all of these Conservatives crossing the floor over to the Liberals is that it's because Carney himself is a right-of-center politician. Conservatives will feel comfortable under his leadership, especially since the actual Conservatives have become right-wing extremists.

So, public libraries pay money to publishers (and thence authors) for books they buy, we all know this and it's great!
But in many countries, Canada among them, authors of that country also get compensated for their book being in public libraries via the public lending right

I've done countless emergency blogs in my career, but this is a new one. Here's a little treatise on the importance of not shitting where you eat and the personal standards required of people in positions of public trust. Featuring two disgraced New Jersey politicians, somehow
Help Wanted: Union Leader Untainted by Scandal
This is an awful time for the MLBPA to lose its leader to scandal, but this is an even worse time time for the MLBPA to have a leader it can’t trust.

This is the worst thing happening in baseball. It is happening all the time and nearly every team is doing it. And a lot of prospect media is complicit.

It seems outrageous to write we must have zero tolerance of police intimidation, but here we are. Ask Susan End. Long history of it but I could only include a few. Operation True Blue was a councillor shakedown scheme in 2000. One of the first stories I go into as a reader when I moved here. 🤯
