The Washington Post revamps entire paper to be The Mini Page

From NYT article today about Matt Dinniman. Perhaps you can follow a similar career path?

Georgia Public Libraries generate $3.75 return for every dollar invested, new study finds Georgia's public libraries generated $1.06 billion in services in fiscal year 2024, supporting 5,488 jobs and producing $3.75 of value per public dollar.

We need libraries for so many reasons.

yeesh. i guess 3k wasn't enough. you can do better!

Funny, I never think about that when I go to the automatic teller machine machine.

Pair it with Sound of Music for a good Drapes Dress double feature!

A brilliant short story. I can’t wait to see it. It makes you wonder what else @stephenking.bsky.social will come up with while hitting his daily step count!

I think if you listen to a podcast with fake AI people saying AI generated words you are functionally dead, you are basically a phone to me at that point

i sang "how far i'll go" for my daughter's school before and when u sing something slower for a bunch of 4 yos it really hits you the lyrics and started to make me v emotional. the power of a great story! "I wish I could be the perfect daughter/But I come back to the water, no matter how hard I try"

so excited for sequel then disappointed. retread really. using bits of old songs? makes sense when u realize it started as a series then decided to squash into a movie. first 1 so simple that she has to leave to find out who she is. 2nd one wait she's gotta leave again! but with no real new reason?

Sometimes I wonder if maybe we should have let Hastings have Netflix become Qwikster back in 2011. Sure it was stupid. It would have failed but maybe more failing is what we need so there is less consolidation which then gives us less of this mess?

We love libraries of every shape and size! 📚🖤 If not for the work of many librarians, researchers, activists & archivists, so much important movement history would be lost.

"The Library Is a Commons" artwork is by @erikruin.bsky.social up on @justseeds.bsky.social #NationalLibraryWeek

don't sleep on the easter ones! they're not sour but they're gooooood

"They'll never cut Social Security" is the new "they'll never overturn Roe v Wade."

this is a dumb question but like is this photo a moment in time where the balloons are just floating but coming down or is this some dark magic where these balloons are levitating at various levels?

The United States and all its territories and military bases is HUGE and yet you can send a letter anywhere for under a buck!

That's not driven by profit, it's driven by need.

IT IS A SERVICE, SHITHEAD.

i'm starting to work on artfully distressing my outfits so they look appropriately dire but still fierce

If this freaking bird flu messes with the $5 Costco chicken, there *will* be riots in the streets.

Preferably the slow walkers? Or would you prefer a fast frenetic 28 Days Later kind of zomb?

It's weird to realize as a parent that you are rooting for school to happen, not for it to be cancelled. You are now against Snow Days(even if it's for a good reason). It's like realizing you have become part of The Empire.

i hope he has a sweet like little satchel to keep his dice in. if not, he should!

honestly, probably a good cover for a body in the trunk if you have elf/santa legs out of trunk. *hahaha* *nervous* nothing to see here! hiding in plain sight. also, so far--75% of the cars i see decorated in full lights in la are matte black tesla trucks. as proof of your point.

i hate how in every search engine result if you just click on the FIRST thing, it's always like 90% of what is in the AI summary so like... did we need AI? no. no, we didn't. and i have never ever even been tempted to "grok" something. never.

As East Village’s Little India Fades, One Place Keeps Its Lights On Three neighboring South Asian restaurants with string light-filled windows survived for decades. Only one remains as Sixth Street’s “Curry Row” moniker fades.

This is sad. Only one of the 4 glorious Indian restaurants with millions of chili lights remains. The end of an era. For whatever reason, I would always choose Milon(upper left). I enjoyed their fierce barker competition to convince you to go into their restaurant.

Zaslav is insane. Let's kill all the cash cows! See? I'm saving money!

My daughter, 5 yo, just asked me to teach her to play chess. So I did. And so my question is... what is YOUR method of playing games with kids? Do you let them win? Mercilessly beat them into the ground into a final Great Santini standoff? Or something in the middle?

An important dragon question... concerning the pronunciation of a famous dragon in LOTR... be honest... answer the dragon!

Thank you for your service!

i KNEW it! Your Broadway tunes are just impishly crafted to make people horny!
