Cast as Criminals, America’s Librarians Rally to Their Own Defense
“We’re no longer seeing a parent have a conversation with a teacher or librarian about a book their child is reading...We’re seeing partisan groups demand the removal of books that they’re told are bad books, that they are not even reading, because they don’t meet the political or moral agenda"
This is ridiculous:

I watched Once Upon a Time in the West this morning. Great movie. Hell of a cast. Weird seeing Henry Fonda play the bad guy.

Nuclear industry lobbyists like to use Germany's efforts to subsidize solar and wind power as a punching bag so they'll definitely be ignoring this news.

Germany sped past the 50% RE Milestone in 2023. It generated 55% of its electricity with renewable energy in 2023! Wow!

What about prices? "Last year, the benchmark day-ahead power price fell by 60%."

Cheaper and cleaner!

I just finished a rewatch on Jurassic World. It's a fun Saturday afternoon popcorn movie, but it's ridiculous. \

Can anyone tell me why I would want to connect my 4K player to the internet? It has a LAN connection and I'm not sure why.

Don't let those heart-wrenching commercials fool you, #HumaneSociety of US (#HSUS) doesn’t run one single shelter and only donates 1% of its donations to local shelters.

Donate straight to the shelter in your community and your money will help many more animals.

I'd like to remind everyone that @spotify paid Joe Rogan a hundred million dollars.

I'm watching Shadow of the Thin Man. Love these movies.

Congress is done for the year. It has not been a traditionally productive year. 23 bills will have become law by 12/31. There were almost that many votes held to find Speakers of the House this year. A whole lot of things will come due in January including the temporary govt funding bills that were supposed to allow breathing room for all the _other_ bills still unpassed.
