Billionaires are considering cutting or reducing their ties to California by the end of the year because of a proposed ballot measure that could tax the state’s wealthiest residents.
A Wealth Tax Floated in California Has Billionaires Thinking of Leaving
It’s uncertain whether the proposal will reach the statewide ballot in November, but some billionaires like Peter Thiel and Larry Page may be unwilling to take the risk.

My nephews are away for the weekend so my sister started Heated Rivalry and texted me “I am only 6 mins in and I am SO INVESTED” and I’m like:

So after finishing Heated Rivalry last night it’s clear we need a full resurgence of actually soft romantic films and tv shows with people who can actually act. The whole cast was great but Connor and Hudson just did an excellent job.

I enjoy whenever an entire household is beholden to the whims of one cat

This animal just standing in the living room, screaming, while the human adults explain "Sorry, Gibby likes it when we smack his ass with a cardboard tube for 10mins at 6pm every day, hold on". That is good to me.

People may not realize that this is the birth place of Ethnic Studies and the first Black Studies program. SFSU is a school of historic significance.

Don’t fuck with archivists. They are librarians with sociopathic tendencies.

If you're an academic who is protective or defensive about your own area of expertise (understandable, in this day and age), but are offended when it's suggested that professional archivists & librarians have unique expertise outside your own experience, that's worth some self-examination

Self-examination nothing: y'all need to confront the fact that you owe your academic career to the unique expertise of librarians and archivists.

Who do you think organized those LIBRARIES of texts that you're drawing upon?

Archivists/librarians please share the coolest thing in your collections that will never be digitized.
I live in the heart of California gold country. One of the richest mines ever in CA is nearby. Opened circa 1860 closed 1942. A local foundation has preserved the records on site. I know not a stitch has been digitized and am confident no more than 2 pro historians have ever been in there.

a slightly different angle but I found out that a few archives around LA had old books bound in human skin so I did a story about unusually bound books and of course I had to go look at and touch them all. My favorite was a copy of "Moby Dick" in whale dick skin
I think we need a mega thread of everyone's craziest archive stories.
