It does look a bit skeletal, doesn't it.

Book bans and attempted bans remain at record highs, with 'Sold' topping the list The American Library Association says book bans and attempted bans remain at record highs. Efforts to remove titles have become more coordinated and politicized.

apnews.com/article/bans... If you don't like the world your kids are inheriting, then fix it. Otherwise, prepare them for it. Novels, presenting information and boosting empathy, are a great way to do this.

Poe from Star Wars saying “Somehow Palpatine returned.”

Whenever I feel bad about my own writing, I remember this:

Why are Harvard’s slavery researchers quitting or being fired? The school’s $100m project to examine its slave ownership in Antigua is mired with controversy as academics allege obstruction

Really important piece in the Guardian, on Harvard’s slow-walking and stone-walling of its historical complicity with the slave trade, featuring testimony from amazing scholars @caitlindeangelis.bsky.social and @carladmartin.bsky.social 🗃️

ICE is not about immigration.

ICE is about normalizing a paramilitary force on peaceful streets.

Abolish ICE.

Unfortunately, pseudoscience is on full display at Chaser Summit this year 🐍 🛢️

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez: “Here in Spain, we are approving and advancing a process to regularise half a million immigrants.

“And I want to say to the Right and the Far Right who oppose this: Spain is the daughter of migration and will not become the mother of xenophobia.”

Sánchez: “Shame on those who remain silent in the face of injustice. Shame on those who exploit workers, who criminalise those who are different, who turn rights into commodities, who defend elite privilege, who support war and violence in Gaza, the West Bank, Ukraine, Lebanon, and the Middle East.”

No, II,4 merely says those are the people who can be impeached, unlike members of Congress. If Trump is impeached for treason, we don't immediately lose Vance and everyone else. They would have to be individually impeached.

Superman was born woke.

A six panel grid from Action Comics #1. Superman stops a man from beating his wife with a belt. He throws the man against the wall; the man then tries to stab Superman. The knife breaks and the coward faints.

Happy Superman Day.

Golden Age Superman was a New Deal hero and a champion of the poor and oppressed.

Never forget that Superman’s earliest enemies included: slumlords, crooked businessmen, corrupt politicians, mining tycoons, gangsters, and abusers.

(Action Comics #1)

Where is the lie?
But also, people like to think they are special, and what they are going through is special, and if there is anything historians can establish with tedious frequency it is that no, none of us are special and historical precedent echoes and coughs its way through the decades.

I once heard the phrase "abusers are either grooming you as a victim or a character witness," and it has lived in my head since then.

France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces.

Equals 10 nuclear reactors
Reduces heat island, shades cars

The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight.

Why aren't we doing this?

I love this era of unfiltered Congresswomen. 😂

Piss Poor Planning leads to Piss Poor Programs with crappy results!!!

US House Republicans have cleared the way for Chilean mining giant Antofagasta to engage in copper-sulfide mining - which produces sulfuric acid - above the pristine Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, which 165,00 Americans visit each year.

While death and destruction rained down on Iran during the war’s first month, the world’s 100 biggest oil and gas companies brought in an extra $30 million per HOUR in windfall profits.

Yes, $30 million per HOUR.

All because of the deadly and reckless decision making of one man.

The dream job does exist. Their little back packs. 🥹

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue appears on the scene as Green is glaring at a failed crafts project, which has been utterly mangled beyond recognition. Blue: What's wrong? Green: The jute rope basket I've been trying to weave fell apart. Blue sits down opposite of Green, also looking at the mangled basket attempt. Blue: The one that was shedding needly fibers everywhere? Green: Yep. Blue continues looking at the failed basket as Green raises his head to look at Blue incredulously. Blue: Aw, sorry to hear that. Green: Why? You hated that thing. Blue looks back up, and both foxes look at each other calmly. Blue: Just because I'm glad that it's gone doesn't mean I can't be sorry that you lost it.

Your ballot or other mail may not get postmarked by USPS the day it's dropped off Close to a deadline for mailing your ballot, tax return or legal document? To make sure it gets a postmark on time under the latest USPS changes, you may want to send it early or visit a post office.

TAX DAY PRO TIP if you're filing by mail: Do not rely on a mailbox or a letter carrier today for filing your return on time.

Go inside a post office and ask for a free manual postmark at the counter.

Otherwise, your tax return may not get an April 15 postmark date and the IRS may apply penalties
