Libraries have always been a key part of society and if we continue to support them, they can nurture the missing pieces of our social life in unexpected ways. Plus, it's better than Starbucks.

Well said @vincegilligan.bsky.social ! Stories of all types are needed, but our elevation of anti-heroes has not done any favours to our societies over the past couple decades. From Walter White to Kylo Ren and many others, our sympathy for the devil may have gone too far.

Folks: please be diligent about not disseminating Ann Telnaes' cartoon in a way that she's not getting the clicks on it (until she says differently). Her IP matters now more than ever. Make it go viral but make sure she benefits. anntelnaes.substack.com/p/why-im-qui...

Fascinating article, though it raises more questions than it answers.

Libraries should be our backups! Articles like this help us see the fault lines in our dependence on electronic infrastructure. TV dramas like The Last Ship show us how badly things can go wrong by blithely putting all our eggs in the electronic basket.

Domination politics "It's not that the middle-class professional family doesn’t know or care that the driver bringing them their food delivery makes what a British doctor does. I think when they are aware, they’re often quite angry about it. They like having the people who serve them be desperate."

Dr. Lawtoo spoke at the 5th biannual Girard lecture on the critical topic of the infective and affective nature of mimesis in context of (new) fascism and Donald Trump, ahead of another Trump turn for the US.

Here's another example of the critical need for Humanities. Science may fix our problems but Humanities will give us the cultural memory to remember tragedies like this. If we had more Humanities graduates maybe we would have less anti-vaxxers.

Everyone thought that bit in the Dark Knight Rises where all the cops in the city shuffle on foot into the sewer to find Bane was unrealistic, but Christopher Nolan has been vindicated once again

Students should study the humanities not because it makes them better workers but because it rips you open and breaks your brain and changes everything you thought you knew. I promise you this. I promise it has this ability, no matter how smart you think you are. I have seen it countless times.
