if it happens again, going to start replying with "you mean your schocastic parrot Claude". I do think we need to be meaner about AI use in professional settings ngl

deeply depressing to be in a meeting with other academic librarians and to both unironically say "my boyfriend Claude"

Infowars/Onion combo logo in rainbow saying “I support the onion’s hostile media takeover.”

It’s finally happened. After 18 months. Finally, a media merger you can root for.

As a 5 college alum, I was really hoping they were gonna pull through after the last financial scare

We’re live!

I know this one is also somehow Sophia Bush’s fault I don’t know how but I just know it is

I’ve already told mg friends to respect me in my period of mourning

The new issue of Intergalactic Mixtape is live and full of recs in a variety of formats: straight lists, author forward, monthly faves, and of course, award related. :D

Roku Launches 'Gamechangers' Women's Sports Anthology Docuseries The world of women's sports is front and center in Roku's new Original documentary series Gamechangers.

Literally the only reason women’s sports fans would tune in is because they wanna see how Ashlyn tries to justify her cheating on Ali deadline.com/2026/04/roku...

Lmao not me seeing that Ashlyn Harris is getting a documentary on the Roku channel first thing this morning ☠️

I need WNBA fans on threads to stop being so fucking xenophobic about teams (specifically the Fire) drafting international players who may or may not be playing in the league this season

I blame Reagan for everything.

Washington and Seattle in a competition to have the tallest starting lineup

I'm choosing to believe that the mystics drafting forwards/centers means that we're re-signing Natasha Cloud as a free agent. Time to bring her home!!

The “Calvin’s dad explains two types” meme, inspired by a Calvin and Hobbes cartoon. Clockwise from top left: 1) Calvin’s dad walks into frame to find Calvin trying to operate a record player. The dad says: “There are only two industries left in America: gambling, and fraud.” 2) The dad shows where the record goes, and how to turn on the player, while Calvin watches. Dad says “Derivatives? Gambling. AI? Fraud. Video games? Gambling. Social media? Fraud.” Calvin says “yeah”. 3) With one hand open palm up, Calvin’s dad cheerfully explains to Calvin out of frame below him, “The stock market looks like gambling, but it’s actually fraud.” 4) In bed in a dark room, Calvin clutches at his pillow, eyes wide in existential terror. There is no text in the panel.

Man, we have the same conversations every time a major story like this breaks. It’s exhausting. It is SO HARD to publish a story about gendered violence for a whole host of reasons, a main one being that victims (rightly so!) don’t want to talk.

Yes

Good news! Folks have been doing that ejournals.lib.auth.gr/ExCentric/ar...

It’s literally about how sometimes it’s Good Actually to take away children from their families

NO HATER ON EARTH LIKE A HATER FROM CHICAGO, BABYYYY

Still time to manifest Nneka to the mystics so she can play with Kiki 🙏

Hey, remember when TJ Klune admitted the book was inspired by the Sixties Scoop but instead of the government being evil in his book they're actually Doing Good and it's perfectly OK to steal children from families as long as the people doing the stealing are good people?

YOU: Hi my name is [name]. I’m calling from [ZIP CODE]. YOU: Today, President Trump said that “a whole civilization will die tonight” if Iran does not meet his deadline to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. That rhetoric is extreme, dangerous, and disqualifying. 
FOR THOSE W/ DEM ELECTEDS: I’m asking [ELECTED OFFICIAL] to publicly condemn this rhetoric and use every available procedural tool to stop further escalation, including support for impeachment and urgent public pressure on congressional leadership. FOR THOSE W/ GOP ELECTEDS: I’m asking [ELECTED OFFICIAL] to publicly condemn this rhetoric, press the administration and cabinet to treat this as disqualifying conduct. YOU: Calling this what it is matters. Even if removal is difficult, elected officials should treat rhetoric like this as unfit and dangerous. YOU: [OPTIONAL COMMENTS]

Script.

ok one more, for the Mass Effect 1 fans out there, I always consider this to be the Peak of Chill Vibing In Space Music

I'm so happy she's free from that team, and I think she'll fit in well in Atlanta

god I wish she would retire, I tire of her
