I just assume all the accounts with more than a thousand followers are scams.

It seems there are two main reasons things haven’t gone completely to shit in the US: 1. Lawyers and the courts; 2. Journalists and the media. Most of us can’t do anything about the first, but we can support journalism. Stop complaining about paywalls and subscribe to news & donate to public media.

As I’ve learned more about them over the years, Ringo seems like the least assholic of the four.

I love Audition, don’t love paying monthly for it. If this has similar wave editing features and time stretching in multitrack, then I might take finally abandon adobe.

I started in acquisitions in my library this past January. B&T are/were our main vendor. I think I have yet to experience a normal work day, lol. We’re scrambling to get quotes from other vendors so we can buy books. We’ve maxed out our allotted spending at non-contract vendors—fun times.

Yo, whoever runs this account, just posting screenshots of Pete’s twitter account is kind of messed up. The message I see is that y’all don’t actually care about the people here. Maybe post here and screenshot to the fascist hellsite for a change.

It’s really weird how the pro business people teamed up with the pro Jesus people to destroy our country.

He worked at MSNBC, so I characterize that as a colleague, and it’s a bit rich to read Rachel smirk at WashPo’s (lack of) bravery when she and Chris have been pretty quiet about the Dowd firing. Maybe they’ve made statements, but I haven’t seen any on here.

What version of “Rock’n Me” is in that Kia commercial? It doesn’t sound like the original, but a quick search seems to suggest that it’s by the Steve Miller Band.

I just ordered a new book on “Strangers on a Train” for my library. Can’t wait for it to arrive.

You know what? This place is filled with way too many “I’m perfect and no one else is doing anti-fascism as well as I am and you all should be ashamed of yourselves if you aren’t personally putting your body on the line at all times, even though I’m not actually doing that either.”
