I'm telling you, the solution to many problems in education is to hire school librarians (at a liveable wage, with administrative support, and adequate resources). Your students don't need an LLM, they need a librarian.

During this incredible, unifying moment of inspiring international cooperation and spectacular technological achievement, I would really appreciate it if the US president would stop threatening to murder an entire country with bombs.

“the pharaoh’s tomb is cursed! the necromancer’s ring is cursed! the witch’s grimoire is cursed!” that’s how you sound. everything is fucking cursed with you bro. i don’t care. i’m taking this skull.

A scary lady with exaggerated makeup lying on a pillow on her side MONSTROUS MUSINGS "Camp" Is Not A Dirty Word By Michael Varrati (Editor's note: This week I'm passing the Monstrous Musings mic to my friend and colleague, filmmaker Michael Varrati. We've been commenting on the state of the industry via text and phone calls for years, and a piece of news this week sparked an interesting dialogue, so l encouraged Michael to write down his thoughts about it. He did not disappoint! - PN)

It’s always so nice to hear people say they enjoy my weekly editorials in the Fango newsletter. But the ones *I* get excited for are the guest editorials, and this week is a banger from @michaelvarrati.bsky.social - go read it!

i guess i don't understand how this isn't crime-against-humanity stuff. or does that simply not matter anymore www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

I understand we get attached to celebrities and their lives, but when a person dies and their grieving family announces “natural causes” or “peacefully in their sleep”, it’s NONE OF OUR BUSINESS if that’s true or not.

...TK covering Arcade Fire is genuinely the only way I would willingly listen to an Arcade Fire song again (COVER THE SUBURBS IN FULL YOU COWARDS)

Yes.
Jabberwocky by Lewis Carroll.
Memorized it in grade school for reasons I can no longer recall (probably just because) and it’s still stuck in my head 40-ish years later.

If that’s just how men behaved at the time, I’m perfectly fine tearing down everything named for all of them.

I absolutely think this is the key element in deciding to separate art and artist. Shakespeare was probably one kind of asshole or another but buying the complete works doesn’t allow him or his heirs to do more damage. It’s a critical distinction between censorship and boycott.

the cover of Dune with the title changed to "Paul is Bad" and the cover of the sequel with the title changed to "Ok, I guess I wasn't Clear"

idk I did see this meme today which made me laugh so hard. lol

A DOGE staffer assigned to the National Endowment for the Humanities to flag grants for "DEI" tries to explain what "DEI" is. This deposition is part of a lawsuit by the @acls1919.bsky.social, @historians.org and @modernlanguage.bsky.social.

Will Ogles be censured for his comments?

Because it's quite hard to read this as anything but a call for the expulsion (or worse) of 4.5 million people on the basis of their religion.

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

anyway the reason jobless claims continue to fall but record numbers of people are out of work is because unemployment insurance runs out but we're still unemployed and otherwise untracked. hope this helps.

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

I ask this genuinely but also knowing the answer: why are the millions and millions of dollars these people have never enough? have some self-respect!

Disturbingly detailed analysis of my first rewatch incoming

"Job listings rarely explain what the work actually involves. 'People are hired under ambiguous labels, but only after contracts are signed and training begins do they realise what the actual work is.'"

i don’t doubt that people are sincere when they say this stuff, but this has been the line for over 40 years and is perhaps the biggest reason why “sorting out the rest” never, ever, ever happens

You can’t deport citizens. Some naturalized citizens can be denaturalized after a felony conviction.

He is describing expulsion, a crime against humanity. It should not be subject to negotiation.

Primary the entire leadership. Get them out of office if they won’t defend our rights.
