#Books Finished 'The Interrogative Mood: A Novel?' (Ecco Books, 2009) by Padgett Powell. So well done. Clever and sweet and sly and thought provoking. #Reading

It's shocking--shocking, I say--that @clarivate.com, that most enlightened of information providers, would adopt such a position. Shocking. What was the name of that Mothers of Invention album? Oh, right: 'We're Only In It for the Money.' www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

#Library folks: worth a read. (Full disclosure: I'm not a fan of "Transformative Agreements.") www.knowledge-exchange.info/news/article...

📚 gotta say I think refusal, resignation, and malicious compliance are the only ethical options for librarians here. @amlibraryassoc.bsky.social et al: how are we supporting librarians who choose those and calling in the ones who don’t?

40 years ago today, the most wonderful woman in the universe and I were married. #OhLuckyMan!

What the actual hell is wrong with Discogs tonight? Soooooooooooooooooo sloooooooooooooooooooooow.

Good for the @apnews.com. He can so f*ck all the way off! #Resist #NoFealty

#Music In the House and On the Deck. (@metropolis-records.bsky.social) 2xLP @ 45rpm. #Records

And so my theory that the DOGE is the 21st century U.S. version of the SS is confirmed. www.wsj.com/tech/doge-st... #Resist #FightthePower

Root canals are so fun.#notfun

R.I.P. Elliot Ingber, The Winged Eel Fingerling. Play on, my dude. #Beefheart #Music

Thank you, @amlibraryassoc.bsky.social. We appreciate it and you. #liblearnx

I have a new hero and her name is Mariann Edgar Budde. Never have I been prouder of the faith in which I was raised. #Resist

Well, Acting Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights Craig Trainor is on the list.

Night of the Long Knives. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-f...

R.I.P. #DavidLynch. Loved his films, and of course, Twin Peaks.

Any of you travelling to or through #Phoenix with some time on your hands: I recommend Book Gallery on E. Indian School Road. A little pricey perhaps, but a fantastic selection of used and rare #BOOKS.

Finally scored a 1st/1st of 'All the Pretty Horses,' completing my 1st/1st copy of Cormac McCarthy's 'The Border Trilogy.' (And no, it didn't cost eleventy million dollars.) #BOOKS

What has happened/is happening up in #LosAngeles is horrifying. My heart goes out to all my friends and colleagues up there. Keeping you all in my thoughts.

R.I.P. Peter Yarrow. Hope you're off to where your harmonies will be appreciated. #Music
