The ALA says 4,235 titles were challenged at libraries across the country – the second-highest year on record. Forty percent of the challenged works involved LGBTQ+ subjects or the experiences of people of color. n.pr/4vFxjvp
Someone on YouTube uploaded the entire season, but it must have been taken down since I watched it. 😥
‘And lo, it came to pass the Lord God did smite the nation, for they had turned from all that was good.’ - Psalms 1:30 (minutes on high)
The same week the NYTimes was devoting its significant resources to producing this ridiculous piece about Lauren Sanchez Bezos's call for rich people to not worry and be happy, Ryan Hass, an independent journalist in Oregon, was investigating this horrifying story about a death in an Amazon plant.
It is in the NYT, though, as usual, not with the urgency it deserves: www.nytimes.com/2026/04/13/u...
Great British Sewing Bee is also great
Great British Sewing Bee (from the same Love Productions who do GBBO and Pottery Throwdown) is also delightful.
Photograph of a car with a squirrel inside of it, perched on the steering wheel. The car is the color of champaign at a beige convention, and the squirrel is the color of squirrels. The squirrel is holding a package of crackers in it's mouth. They are the kind like you get at a restaurant, where you get two crackers wrapped in plastic. The driver's side window is slightly cracked. This is how the squirrel got in, and how it got out. It threw the crackers out first, and then climbed out after them. Everything in this operation suggested that this was not the squirrel's first rodeo.
A closeup of the squirrel sitting on the steering wheel. The squirrel deserves a name, so we'll call her Anjeloma, and she's what you might call a winner. She is still squirrel colored. The crackers are white, and labeled "Zest." As if Anjeloma needed more zest. Squirrel, please. You can't see much of the car, but you can see smudges of grunge at the edges of the windshield, where the wipers have cast aside the debris of previous rains and pollen-falls.
The world is stupid, but I just watched a squirrel break into a car in the parking lot below me, steal a package of crackers, and escape to a nearby tree. So at least somebody is winning.
Looking forward to hearing you tell this story on multiple podcasts!

I hope all you non-Okies understand what a shockingly moronic person Markwayne Mullin is.
I feel like I do, in fact, realize this.
in fact you do not have to show your ID when you board a train in the united states, you only need to show your ticket (which can be purchased without an ID)
1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.
I installed a ceiling fan a few weeks ago with only YouTube as my guide. I didn't know how anyone ever did anything before.
Oklahoma is irredeemable and the country is close.
Tenured faculty already have 5-year review. I know people who lost positions after tenure review. Politicians trying to make people believe we are, oh, I don't know, SUPREME COURT JUSTICES, with cushy lifetime gigs and no guard rails? They are lying. Disdain for educators helps them evade scrutiny.
They want to tie individual teachers to student "job placement"? And "economic alignment"? What does that even mean? Hey, politicians with power, maybe work on making the economy support regular people so they can afford college and have jobs. How the fuck does a teacher have any control over that?
He's a bot or a scammer. You can just block him.
please watch:
Man, I bet the NRA is going to be furious when they hear that jack-booted thugs from the federal government executed a law-abiding citizen for exercising his Second Amendment right to carry a handgun.
Any second now, I'm sure.
He was a white guy, if that helps?
Hello? NRA?
an administration staffed to the top with degenerate liars
For years, we have been lectured on the importance of major news outlets — about how their integrity prevents our democracy from dying in darkness. Yet Donald Trump just stood on a well-lit global stage and declared his intention to abuse the criminal justice system to destroy electoral democracy.
I am none of the letters, at least so far, but somehow I have never had difficulty just... believing people when they tell me about themselves? Even when penises are not centered? Patriarchy is a helluva drug, yo.
Look at this absolute queen
This leads me to believe that up until this meeting, Trump absolutely thought it was "hole milk."
once again shoutout to every dipshit who insisted it was hysterical to talk about trump and white supremacy in the same breath www.rawstory.com/trump-267487...
Congress should pass a law requiring agents to show their faces, identify themselves, & wear their badges. It’s not agent safety we have to worry about these days.
End so-called Kavanaugh stops & admin warrant-based forced entry into homes too. Let’s have a Constitution.
BEEEEEAAAAAARRRRRRS
