I am just going to write a villain in a book who walks in and says “HA HA HA I AM A VILLAIN, I WANT TO DESTROY THE WORLD, AND I WILL GET AWAY WITH IT BECAUSE I AM RICH” and it would be less obvious.

Standing outside beautiful old campus building mesmerized by a sunset. Complimenting someone (and having it returned). Cozy bookstore in an old stone house. Locally made ice cream in the freezer. Piles of books.

also, is that reporter implying that FDR's supposed "overreach" is somehow similar to today's admin? FDR's "overreach" was at least in part intended to *give people work to do*. Wikipedia probably mentions that somewhere in the midst of all those acronyms. :/

There was a staged reading of THE MUPPET MOVIE recently, in which (among others) Marc Evan Jackson played Kermit, Paul F. Tompkins played Fozzie, and Nina West played Miss Piggy. Raised money for fire relief. www.squadup.com/hosts/740859... (Goes to their events page, find The Muppet Script.)

Yes please. Libraries pay for the journals, librarians assist with access and search strategies (thinking of/concerned about health-librarian colleagues at an R1 who assist with systematic and scoping reviews)
