It was something in Doc Smith's Lensmen series... the main character is supposed to make perfect people with his sisters.

Library Ogre @libraryogre.bsky.social · 13h

Which he has also done. He gave the robber baron a temporary position, in fact.

If people preventing the Epstein files from being released are named in them, or trying to indefinitely delay their release at the direction of some who is named, how is that not obstruction?
Add it to the growing list of illegal behavior by the Regime.

the most delightful version of logging on to see what news you've missed

Dr Ramsdell, whose phone had been on airplane mode when the Nobel committee tried to call him, told the BBC's Newshour Programme that his first response when his wife said, "You've won the Nobel prize" was: "I did not."

To which Ms O'Neill replied that she had 200 text messages that suggested he had.

if you're willing to sacrifice some groups for your personal safety, i'm going to assume you'll sacrifice anyone. Either we all get humanity and rights or none of us will. Because nobody is voting for another centrist Dem trying to move the party right. that shit is over.

Don’t quote me on the numbers but it looks DFAS (Defense Finance Accounting Service) fucked up the pay and leave of somewhere around ~180K Air Force employees. If you are an “exempt” employee, you probably didn’t get paid for Oct 1-3, nor did you accrue any leave for the entire pay period.

So, I've had this guy on ignore for a year, largely for being the kind of whiny bastard who gets really upset about games and movies he doesn't like. I'll read him, occasionally, if I feel up to it. But today, he used the word "physiognomy", and that is a bright red flag these days.

Library Ogre @libraryogre.bsky.social · 1d

Oh, FUCK. We just got word that Baker & Taylor is "wind[ing] down the business". This is going to fuck up libraries (at least in Texas) for MONTHS, if not a year.

This is AJ Link, known here as Łink. He's awesome. He's been permabanned for basically just making the CEO, Jay Graber, mad. This was a monumentally stupid decision that, AFAICT, may result in the collapse of Bluesky due to a loss of trust, but we'll see. The smart thing to do would be to #FreeŁink

This is why I keep saying we must never forget and never forgive the people who did this to us.

We have to learn from the failure of Reconstruction, and punish them, so it never happens again. We can't let them just move on, and pretend that they never did any of this.

Senators will vote today on whether to block Trump’s use of US Armed Forces to attack vessels in the Caribbean.

Trump may soon expand these illegal attacks into a full-on war with Venezuela.

Call your Senators and ask them to vote for the Schiff-Kaine resolution.

So, Thursday mornings, the baby and toddler storytime starts at 1000, right when we open. And I usually open the doors, because otherwise I forget to make sure it happens.

On Thursdays? I wave at any baby that will look at me, and dance with any that will dance with me.

I smile at every baby. I say hello. I make weird noises.

They may learn that the world is cruel and uncaring, but they won't learn it from me.

Once again, I’m wondering why Democrats aren’t running with a straightforward message of “despotism is un-American and unaffordable” right now and all the way into the midterms.
