Ok, let's talk about summer reading and "beach reads" for a minute. I work in a public library down the Jersey Shore and once removed sand from a book by Sigmund Freud. Someone packed this title in their beach bag. You're FINE.

If you’re looking for some sleepy time white noise tonight, I had an ~~idea~~ this week… It’s a white noise video that donates all revenue to Partners in Health and you can watch it here: youtu.be/dv2XyqC-EQ4

If this were a business, which it most certainly is not, the IRS would be a profit center and the military would be a cost center.
“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.
So which is worse, comparing Elon Musk to Robert Moses or comparing Kendrick Lamar to Robert Caro?
From a FOIA perspective, "the entire federal workforce should write down and email what they did last week" is extremely funny
Those kids literally needed a job to afford those eggs show some respect

The 2025 DOGE Federal Funding Action reminds me of when we were labeling the breaker box when I was a kid.
Let us all pray for the Philadelphia Department of Public Works 🕯️
It’s okay. You’re allowed to post about both Taylor Swift and the US government coup. We’re complex creatures with multifaceted interests.

If a 19-year-old Canadian who calls himself Big Balls marches into your federal agency and demands access to your system, telling him to fuck right off should be the mildest reaction you have.
Jacqueline Sweet@jsweetli.bsky.social · 2y agoContrary to some info I've seen, 19-yr-old Doge staffer "BigBalls" Edward Coristine did not delete his X account, it's just renamed and is private. Wired reported that govt tech workers had to defend their work to the Neuralink intern in an Office Space-esque scene. / more for Canadians
a rare but important silver lining journalism is still alive and kicking
Chicago Public Square@chicagopublicsquare.com · 2y ago“Could one woman with absolutely zero institutional backing in leggings and a sweatshirt in her NYC apartment really be the one to break such an important story? Now we know the answer is yes.” — Go, @marisakabas.bsky.social!
Thank you, Taylor. Even though I never went to the concerts, I lived it vicariously through all your fans. It was a magical thing to watch unfold.
I always think it’s important to point out (since it usually is little discussed these days) that Rosa Parks was fired from her seamstress job in Montgomery and was basically blacklisted from being employed in the city. She had to move to Detroit because of discrimination after this.
The usual suspects are out there yelling "There are 23 million government workers! Fire most of them!" No awareness that most work for local governments, and most of *them* are schoolteachers. Federal employment hasn't grown since the 1950s
