Uh oh. I'm being followed on social media by the Illuminati, the Freemasons, Anonymous, the Skull and Bones, the Bilderberg Group, QAnon, the Knights Templar, the Church of Scientology, the KGB, the CIA, the MI6, the Priory of Sion, and Build-a-Bear Workshop. Should I be honored or worried? 👀

Yay Kentucky! My friend Linda was on the first conference committee with Rebecca Bingham and has been to EVERY AASL conference! Here she is with @themisterlibrary.bsky.social #KyLChat #TLsky @kasl-librarians.bsky.social

Certified school librarians boost test scores, grad rates, & critical thinking, yet their numbers are declining. When we fight for school libraries, we fight for the future of education, & when we fight for the future of education, we fight for a better future PERIOD. #Skybrarians #TLChat #EduSky

👍 AI mirage 👎 AI hallucination So many have objected to "hallucination" as a description of faulty AI outputs. We need a term that doesn't suggest conscious delusion. @xolotl.org and I analyzed 80+ alternatives and settled on "mirage." We make the case here: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

The Trump administration has been evaluating the costs of destroying or disposing of tens of millions of coronavirus tests that would otherwise be provided free to Americans.

School Library Journal is making Bluesky their primary social platform! Please welcome and follow @slj.com! (Yes, I write for them, but I'm also a reader!)

Bad news, friends: I’ve come down with a severe case of the "woke mind virus." Unfortunately, there’s no known cure. Please send thoughts and prayers.

BBC just released damning research on AI assistants' news accuracy. Results: 51% of AI responses had significant issues. 19% introduced errors when citing BBC. 13% misquoted or made up BBC content entirely. 🤐🤐 www.bbc.co.uk/aboutthebbc/... via @ezraeeman.bsky.social

I wrote about Kendrick Lamar Superbowl performance-- its subversive messaging about America being a rigged, deadly game of survival-- especially for Black people. But we need to stop pretending revolution is going to come from celebrities. It'll come from us. Gift link here: wapo.st/42JVBs6

We literally have science fiction on why this is a bad idea.

It's hard to read this as anything other than blatant retaliation www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-f...

Retaliation for catching him stealing documents?

By Jeff Parker

What's your favorite thing about fascism? ❤️ If you can't narrow it down to just one, you can share three. 🌈🐶🍀🦄 My favorite is not questioning Dear Leader. 😍🙈😍🙉😍🙊😍

Trump just terminated the Chair of the Kennedy Center and has installed himself as the new chair. He says he will now be dictating the institution’s “art and culture” and says it “must reflect” what he chooses.

There is no act of censorship more explicit than literally banning words. The Trump administration is requiring federal agencies to remove all references to “gender,” “diversity” and “inclusion” from federal documents.

Very disturbing posts from DOD schools that I saw on FB. Librarians asked to remove and restrict books also.

you have to understand, that no one puts their children in a boat unless the water is safer than the land - Warsan Shire, "Home" (excerpt)

When a black hole is trying to eat a planet and drops it, is the planet too gross to eat no matter what or does the 5-millenia rule come into effect? ⚫🍽️🪐

You know how Trump's plan is to eliminate the Dept of Ed and let's states take care of it? So, this is what Missouri is doing with that--CUTTING their education budget by $300 million. What will be left for kids and teachers exactly?! This is what's to come! INSANE! share.newsbreak.com/bcavzplb

Sharing is caring. So SHARE this post. Not doing so will confirm what most of us already knew, that you’re a total sociopath.

All art in a fascist regime is rebellion. Keep creating.

This thread is alarming. 😳 Feels very thought police-y. 👀

📚 THIS RIGHT HERE ⬇️ #Skybrarians #TLSky #EduSky #BookSky #FutureReadyLibs

Tools, tips, and techniques for how to critically read a press release from the federal government. The example? That piece of propaganda from the Department of Education last week. That, plus an EXTENSIVE roundup of book censorship news this week: bookriot.com/guide-to-cri...

every news cycle for the next four years is just going to be Monday: Trump has fired all the people who were responsible for keeping poo out of the drinking water Tuesday: okay for some reason there is now a lot of poo in the drinking water
