Folks might not know a lot of people are getting *very* upset that the materials they request are not available in the libraries/archives they're requesting from.

We're getting lots here at the Library of Virginia: requests of documents likely surfaced by large language models that *do not exist*.

I totally nailed this joke about Luther.

and my joke about Calvin was always going to be great.
I have a joke about Thomas but I doubt you'd understand.
I have a joke about Jesus but there are some holes in it

the comments on reddit for this video were like “this squid isn’t that giant” and discussion about how a 40 foot squid is not that crazy or scary and I spent all morning upset about the lack of respect
Absolutely buzzing over this new video of a rarely seen giant squid

So love wobbegongs. Everything is good about the wobbegong. Its name. Its flattened Oscar the Grouch face. Its frondy bits. Its lazy life as a hungry rug. And it’s a shark. Outstanding animal 10/10
The Tasselled Wobbegong is a master of disguise that can eat a fish almost as big as itself in one gulp. It's classified as a shark, but when it lays on the sea floor it looks like a harmless rug if you manage to see it. But with powerful jaws and sharp teeth they are no fish to mess with.

maybe everyone has become an incredibly self-centered solipsistic maniac!!

or maybe everyone is stressed out of their mind for the past 5 years of fascism and pandemic, while also being the non-stop targets of predatory attention-sapping technologies.

dont fall into a trap of misanthropy.

public libraries can play a role in popular resistance to the reduction of culture to bitstreams, but it’s important to remember that public libraries have a mandate to develop their collections, and that means regular weeding. this is why resource sharing (i.e. ILL) is essential. 📚
Most public libraries are culling their physical media because it doesn’t circulate. If you want libraries to hold something, you need to check it out. Public libraries can’t just be warehouses for physical media you might want someday. Use it or lose it.
When we talk about physical media, we are often only taking about personal collections but a big part of shunning the current digital ecosystem is supporting your local library. Not just for print books and periodicals but for movies, games and other medias too. Get. A. Library. Card.

hourslong community resistance against ice still going on in elgin, illinois—a western suburb with a large latine population and a frequent target for ice/cbp.

state rep. karina villa is on scene, per live feed, and used a bullhorn to call out to the person agents are ostensibly looking for.
Happening right now. Community members in Elgin, IL are in a standoff with Feds who are trying to abduct their neighbor.

it says a lot that most of the comments focus on this woman's looks, not the effort to funnel public money into elite pockets via "investment funds." Your average liberal is too intellectually lazy to articulate a critique against the creeping fascism of our times - as radicals we must be sharper
I won’t comment on this.

A 27 year old man in end stage kidney failure was told if he wanted his dialysis he has to sign self deportation papers.

“If you want to leave, sign. If not, you're going to die here."

Withholding of life saving medical treatment should be considered torture.
