It's looking like South City is probably safe, but I wouldn't tell Puffin yet

It's giving Baby Billy Freeman

Unlocked a new culinary favorite this weekend with pickled greens from the yard. Some foraged picks (goldenrod, plantain, deadnettle, etc) and the unstoppable Egyptian walking onions.

everything about this is horrifying

It's a shame he didn't try to simplify before forcing a shitty trolley onto the street

Rising Fuel Prices Are Affecting People in Prison, Too In Missouri, strapped families are visiting less and sending fewer care packages to their loved ones in prison.

"As the war with Iran continues to rage, Missouri prisoners are anxious over the rapidly rising cost of fuel," writes Da'Shae.

"Residents of Southeast Correctional Center are feeling the effects. According to people I spoke to, families are sending less money and making fewer visits."

This is money that could be going to our public schools. Instead they're trying to sell us a data center saying that it'll give money to the public schools.

LOL it's amazing for someone to be self aware and also not at all

Had an amazing reference appt with a student who wanted to write about Harry Styles and queerbaiting. I got to rant about representation politics and white queers who want Netflix maybe-gays instead of supporting independent actually queer artists.

I read this book back when an ex said that nobody could understand her without reading it, and that didn't make sense to me until several years later. (this time it's an ex you knew lol) I think about that all the time.

is this the fragile masculinity version of man or bear

Extend the boycott to all of his clients and picket their businesses. That's how AROC got Roorda out of public scene.

He also didn't use it at all. Maybe the extra 5k would've bumped him into a higher tax bracket.

Does seem like this money should be a part of the ward projects account, or eliminated, considering they're all paid (at least one) full time salary.

Chuck Norris was the only man who'd meditate on screen without my parents worrying he'd invite demons into his mind. Dude sure could kick.

Thank you for publishing this. Did you come across any connection between Wings of Faith and Missouri Association of Christian Child Care Facilities?

St Louis Alders have published mostly electronically generated form letters of support for Data Center from "community stakeholders" w/o addresses/ID of relationship to project, including #DeadbeatDeveloper + letters of opposition, including those w/ addresses stlouis.govocal.com/projects/dat...

Markwayne Mallard, if you will

The misinformation machine is crazy, but I'm starting to feel confident that Bibi is either dead or majorly wounded.

I appreciate the Secret Lives of Mormon Lives storyline that one of the husbands can't stop himself from gossipping to his wife so he fucks it up for the rest of the guys.

One of the problems about asking questions on a librarian listserv is that people who don't have the specific answer still want to show that they can search for approximate answers. We are an unendingly "helpful" profession.

Experts urge communities to exercise their leverage when negotiating data center pitches Places can ask for ways to share the economic upside beyond tax revenue, like setting aside new computing power from data centers for local entities.

This week is packed with public meetings on data center proposals across the St. Louis region.

from what I've seen- either careful deflection or belittling concerns

someday I'll learn how to read tornado maps

Sam Altman says AI will eventually be sold like electricity and water — by companies like OpenAI "We see a future where intelligence is a utility like electricity or water and people buy it from us on a meter," OpenAI CEO Sam Atlman said.
