No one ever had to spend $175M on librarian misconduct settlements Not even when we drank that Dallas bar out of tequila
sara@saract.bsky.social · 3d agowe're on pace to spend something like 5x the total public library budget on misconduct settlements alone. do we think that number will go up or down with 1,000 more officers? you cannot propose this kind of stuff and be taken seriously as a "fiscally responsible" candidate

If you are 38 years old or older, I want you to start working on your foot strength and ankle mobility. Unless I hate you. Then I want you to rest for ten years and then suddenly try to hop off a step one day, cold.

I just had the urge to google whether there are bike racks near my hair salon
saw a guy wearing a t-shirt that read "THERE IS NO CLOUD, JUST SOMEONE ELSE'S COMPUTER" and it took my last shred of self-control not to thank him for his service
