Jesus Christ: after a recent ruling by the Eighth Circuit that allowed Act 372 to take effect, an Arkansas county has banned all children from checking out any books in the adult section, bringing home any DVDs, or using the self-checkout kiosk in its public libraries.
As local libraries grapple with how to implement Act 372, a national group calls for legislators to repeal and replace the pro-censorship law.
Those in MAHA didn't turn towards a eugenics cult, and that cult didn't start gutting public health, because they were oppresssd. They did so because gentry scum are exceptionally prone to delusion and lost their shit at the reality of disease, disability and that some of their kids might be trans

Hi I’m Dave, a librarian from the Midwest who moonlights as a punk singer. I love the bit from USA when after the slow synth bridge when the band comes back with full intensity and the “we’re tired, we’re bored” refrain that was previously sung is screamed back youtu.be/IBngZh8H2FU?...

Hi I'm Andrew, a music writer with a boring office job in Boston. And I love the bit in Campaign For A Better Weekend starting at 3:51 where the drummer Mike Costa completely switches up the percussion rhythm while the rest of the band keeps doing what they're doing www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxja...
Actually people who won’t vaccinate their kids should have those kids taken away from them
There is pervasive corruption across our healthcare and agricultural systems that defy party lines. I meet with MAHA activists because a lot of their concerns are bipartisan issues that major corporations paint as partisan. The fight isn't left and right, it's top and bottom.
Do you think, from a shark's perspective, that catching a pelican stuffed full of undigested and/or partially digested fish is in any way similar to what we experience when we bite into a Boston cream donut?
This is even worse than I thought it was going to be. It made me think of Phil Spector

Reading “Headlights” by CJ Leede on vacation, and I’m really digging it. I’ve liked all three of her novels, but so far, this is my favorite of them
If you believe that the computer can think, then based on that, using AI means you are using slave labor. You are also stupid as hell if you believe that the computer can think.

RT if you want immigration enforcement in every form to disappear tomorrow
not saying federal immigration enforcement in any form should disappear tomorrow but if you leave this entity intact, and tinker at the edges and give them a stern talking to, however well meaning you are, you’re leaving these weapons and this orgy of abuses and masked thuggery intact for the next…
It's funny that JD Vance keeps *saying* he's Catholic but can't help talking about demons and satanic energies and end times prophecies and such, shit you only *ever* hear evangelicals ranting about.
JD Vance is a charisma black hole and a sociopath, but he has risen high and fast by sensing which way the wind is blowing and changing his beliefs accordingly This doesn't mean he's fully abandoned the tech bros, but the winds are blowing away from Silicon Valley and towards Christian Nationalism
Took an extra day off before vacation and it kind of makes me miss working part time. It’s kind of nice to get yardwork done and then sit around watching tv before lunch
Gloria Steinem, Researcher Who Discovered Existence Of Women, Dead At 92
This is exactly what would happen to me if I ran for office
Minnesota right-wing Alpha News has uncovered the huge scandal that a school board candidate in my hometown of Forest Lake also plays in a rock band! The horror!
Librarian here! You will be surprised at what you can find on Kanopy. See if your local library has it and check the catalog. I’ve watched Tetsuo the Iron Man and Re-Animator on it
Not sponcon I swear but The People's Joker is on Kanopy so if you have a library card there's a very good chance you can watch it for free
Every time Flea shows up in a rock documentary I wonder why someone with such good taste isn’t in a better band

Rahm Emanuel: ‘You Don’t Like My Ideas? Show Me Yours’ The always pugnacious Democrat is ready to fight Republicans, the DSA, and Bibi Netanyahu. And maybe run for president.
