Hey librarians,
How is sustainability one of our core values if we're also supposed to be all-in on the AI hype?
Asking for these folks.

In Morrow County, healthy adults were coming down with unexplained medical conditions, including diseases that usually afflicted the elderly.
In a survey of 30 homes, at least 25 miscarriages and a half dozen people living with one kidney were reported.

"The White House isn't sure whether Trump actually had a phone call or just imagined it" is where we are on the dementia scale now.
An amazing new Trump controversy, Part II of II:
- Saturday afternoon: Trump says he spoke to Bolsonaro the night before and planned to see him “in the very near future”
- Monday afternoon: The Trump White House isn’t sure whether Trump actually had the conversation he referenced two days earlier
- Saturday afternoon: Trump says he spoke to Bolsonaro the night before and planned to see him “in the very near future”
- Monday afternoon: The Trump White House isn’t sure whether Trump actually had the conversation he referenced two days earlier
White House hedges on Trump’s curious claim about his call with Brazil’s Bolsonaro White House hedges on Trump’s curious claim about his call with Brazil’s Jair Bolsonaro
Did the Republican president talk to Bolsonaro as the Brazilian plotted to escape? Trump said yes, but the White House isn’t so sure.

I’m very sorry to announce this to the rest of the country & the world, but a transitional logo has been chosen for the 2034 Salt Lake City Olympics & this is it. Why does it say Utah? We don’t know. Why is the font illegible? Yet another mystery. Did they go ugly on purpose? Again, no idea.

BREAKING: Judge rules Lindsey Halligan's appointment was not valid, thus, she had no authority to present the James Comey or Letitia James indictments and the indictments are dismissed without prejudice.

It's only the Welsh seals who can sing in 4-part harmony. Scottish & Irish seals can't.
Incredible footage has been captured of seals hauntingly singing in a cave in west Wales.... This is believed to be a world first where seals have been recorded singing in harmony.

my unpopular Thanksgiving food opinion: I don't like sweet breads in stuffing
cornbread stuffing is not my fav for that reason, but I can weed out cornbread stuffing recipes pretty easily. but even after I do I keep finding recipes for stuffing that call for brioche or challah or even panettone. ?

Tormented and Gunslinger are both fairly competent genre pictures with some good moments and good performances (and some bad ones). Kitten with a Whip and Touch of Satan are both genuinely disturbing at times, to the point that I don't actually enjoy watching the MST3K versions very much.
Which MST3K movie was actually the best *movie*? Which one has the most non-ironic fans and defenders.
Danger: Diabolique comes to mind (though certainly not the best of the Diabolique films). This Island Earth as well, since they had to pick something a bit more palatable for the theatrical film.
