personally would like to see every store show what part of the price increase is due to tariffs bc if these tariffs ever come down, i need to see that price go right back down

The US government doesn't subsidize university research. Rather, universities subsidize government research. I've seen recent threads deceiving the first half of this, but nothing recent describing the extent to which universities are doing the subsidizing.

“Sinners” is every bit worth the hype. Make sure you see it on the largest screen possible.

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

This week’s #fridayreads: KING OF ASHES by @blacktopkid.bsky.social. Cosby’s a 100% can’t miss and this thriller about a financial advisor who must go back to his corrupt small town to handle family business is wry, visceral, and propulsive. Out in June; place your library holds now.

You all need to treat Harry Potter IP like we’re treating the Tesla brand.

This is what I have been working in: a Superman double sized special book, out this summer, script by Dan Jurgens, color by Adriano Lucas and aditional inks by Caio Filipe. It’s gonna be something special :) @dc.com screenrant.com/superman-tre...

Next on the May 2025 LibraryReads Top 10 list is THE DEVILS by Joe Abercrombie! @torbooks.bsky.social @joeabercrombie.bsky.social

Hey, did you know there's an alternative to ChatGPT that makes sense economically and doesn't destroy the environment? It's called English majors and they will happily fix all of your documents for the low price of health insurance and a living wage.

Understanding the practical limits in such things, I nonetheless demand that The Pitt season two be released tomorrow, with a new entire season to be released every weekend for the rest of the year.

NEW: ALA is going to court to stop the President’s attempts to illegally dismantle the Institute of Museum & Library Services. The President does not have the authority to destroy a federal agency. That's why we're taking action with our co-plaintiff @afscme.bsky.social. #ForOurLibraries (1/3)

At this rate MAGA will only be able to afford to rent the libs.

Hey yo @casten.house.gov get this thread on over here because yes to every word x.com/seancasten/s...

Kansas City residents joined the national #HandsOff day of protest against Trump and Musk, with an enormous rally at the Plaza. Kansas Citians had a long list of grievances against the Trump administration: tariffs, threats to the Postal Service, attacks on diversity initiatives and more.

dear keith, fuck you.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

Hells yes, JB

Happy anniversary! “Dear Mr. Vernon….”

This week’s episode of #thepitt was so riveting that after it ended we IMMEDIATELY restarted it and watched it again.

“Boyz II Stronger Men: Achieving a Better Masculinity Through Slow Jams” (Simon and Schuster, 2026)

Interlibrary loan is the greatest invention of mankind and if it goes away I'm going to burn stuff.

every damn time

🚨NEW🚨: Donald Trump is attempting to strip away federal support for libraries. We will NOT let that happen. Last night the President signed an order to gut the Institute of Museum & Library Services. But together, we know we can show up & defeat it. Full EO: www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Inside each of us are two birdhouses. One is in your soul.

Inside each of us are two trains. One is crazy.

This is a good ‘un.

Yeah, no.

Republican U.S. Sen. Roger Marshall has blamed the turmoil that erupted at a recent town hall meeting in rural Kansas on “paid Democratic operatives.” But the people who attended the meeting say they are just concerned Kansans who wanted their senator to hear their concerns.

My favorite genres are: 5.) Hard-bitten detective solves the murder of a dead white girl 4.) Found family in a high fantasy world who crack wise 3.) Group of friends discover that getting older sucks 2.) One Last Heist 1.) A coming-of-age story set in a secret magic academy filled with DARK SECRETS

I love when Marvel did these odd regional team-ups sponsored by local newspapers. I still have the Spider-Man/Hulk one I got from the Kansas City Star. (Kraven the Hunter traps Hulk in a grain silo!)

For #fridayreads, if you’ve never read Peter Swanson, you’re in for a treat. His latest, KILL YOUR DARLINGS, out in June, is a delightfully twisty (and twisted) character study of a marriage told in reverse, with Swanson’s noir style on full display. @librarylovefest.bsky.social #booksky

Damn if “The Pitt” is some of the best stuff of TV. The end of the most recent episode (the Robbie/Langdon showdown) hit like a truck.

There has been a lot of chatter today about Zelenskyy's meeting with Trump, some regarding this moment when White House correspondent Brian Glenn asked if the Ukrainian president plans to wear a suit. I want to address idea in this thread. 🧵

Bears repeating that social security is incredibly INCREDIBLY efficient to run. Its overhead costs are basically zero when you consider the size of the undertaking and the genuine benefits delivered. If anyone was interested in improving govt efficiency, the SSA would be their model not their target

My Kennedys? Dead.

one of my favorite running storylines in culture is that people treat JAMES BOND as a franchise full of classic, beloved movies that has only recently lost its way, when the reality is that literally almost every single movie in the history of the franchise sucks.
