If you'd like something even more dangerous, our archive is so old that we don't use these fancy modern rolling stacks. Ours are attached to a motorised chain that runs the length of the room. This means sometimes they like to move by themselves just a little, enough to keep you on edge.

Someone once told me that it's "classist" to advocate for people to have indoor cats because you need to buy them lots of expensive toys. Marcel has been playing with the discarded stem of a fresh green bean for 20 minutes. 🤷‍♀️

Ladies, if Wicker has you thinking you’d love someone to live and breathe for you, rail you into oblivion with an inanimate object, and fix your furniture, lesbians have amazing news for you

my favorite religious theory is that "biblically accurate angels" is just someone tripping balls who encountered a peacock for the first time

Stay tuned for my 1975 after school special, “How to NOT get Gonorrhea”. We think it’s going to also be massively unpopular with the kids!

A fantastic introduction to all the challenges libraries are struggling with, including AI

Tech Won’t Save Us@techwontsave.us · 2w ago

To make things worse, AI *can't do the jobs* it's replacing: AI is predicated on the premise that monopolies, duopolies and cartels that control the global economy can deliberately worsen their products without suffering economic or regulatory consequences, because they're the only game in town. 4/

On finance, Quiggin notes that the EU is racing to break its reliance on SWIFT, Visa and Mastercard, and the more Trump weaponizes these against institutions like the International Criminal Court, the faster this transition will go. 39/
