There is literally no point in talking to people who excuse or otherwise try to justify the murder of children.
Always money for death,

I'm doing a re-read of Ada Palmer's Terra Ignota series, but once I finish Seven Surrenders, I'm taking a break to do Dungeon Crawler Carl book 4 - The Gate of the Feral Gods
We're doing visioning for the future of our reference services and one of my colleagues actually suggested that we replace our chat service with AI. The very nicest thing I could write in response was "this is completely anathema to my professional values."
“Reading Is Fun!”
The great Maurice Sendak’s poster for 1979’s International Year Of The Child.
Chatbots are bad service, whether they derive from AI or not.
Patrons don't like them.
Libraries shouldn't use them.

I’ll be Saturday librarian-ing, but looking forward to more of The Count of Monte Cristo (Buss translation).
This Inevitable Ruin, #7 of Dungeon Crawler Carl!

On my (short) commute I'm listening to Newbery Honor "The Nine Moons of Han Yu and Luli" and I'm really invested so I'll probably power through that while knitting.
False claims of nukes, unjust wars, countless civilian deaths, oil prices spiking...
Are we in fucking purgatory or something?
I started the second Dungeon Crawler Carl book 😄 it’s chaotic but very fun! I hear great things about how the series develops.
"We should always ask to what end uncritical defense of civil liberties is conducted. Liberties are universal, after all, only in a classless society."
I have ARCs for All Hail Chaos, Platform Decay, and a host of other things I really want to read and am having trouble deciding which to start first.
" One cannot ill-treat others and expect adulation in return."
The bluesky book club has readalongs of two Dickens novels this month, so I'm going to catch up on Great Expectations. I also just started Wake Now in the Fire www.jarrettdapier.com/wake-now-in-...

The rest of Anne of Green Gables! First time reading it, and thoroughly enjoying it!
"Any programme for developing hypermedia must ensure that the whole population can have access to the new online services."
This essay is from 1995.
Universal access to online services is still not actually here. In fact, we are still in a constant fight to ensure fixes (like eRate) stay funded.
Checked out a few titles from the 1632 series from my local library (leaving off the year bit for space): The Atlantic Encounter, The Kremlin Games, and No Peace Beyond the Line. The whole series is one of my comfort reads when it comes to the idea People can be Good, Actually.
"For those not blinded by 'free market' dogmas, it was obvious that the Americans have always had state planning: only they call it the defence budget."
I’m looking forward to continuing my journey through Mistborn 😁

Kingdom of Copper hardcover cover by S.A. Chakraborty
I'm in the middle of revisiting the Daevabad Trilogy by S.A. Chakraborty, so probably finishing Kingdom of Copper
Finishing The Tomb of Dragons by Katherine Addison and making progress in André Vauchez' Life of St. Francis
& playing a board game (wife is sick so probably something light even though I really want to play Teotihuacan again soon)
