Trump military purge. Any Congressional Democrats telling themselves they can sit back and wait for Republicans to tank the midterms are delusional. We need full opposition mode, including supporting mass rallies and direct action. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

the ten principles of the ALA’s 2021 cataloging code of ethics. DEI is an ethical principle. If only people like me (white, able-bodied men) do this work, then biases in the formulation & application of our organizational schemes will go undetected and uncorrected, and users will be underserved. 📚

"AI" is, purely, a marketing term and a (poor) umbrella phrase for a number of different types of computerized statistical analysis, iteration and synthesis. If something is being touted as "AI" to me, it's because someone wants me to buy it, and also I probably don't need it.
