Happy New Year, everyone. Here's a plug for a dear friend's publication. Hilary Wyss's Cambridge Element on the London Foundling Hospital is just out, and you can download a copy for free until Jan. 15, here: doi.org/10.1017/9781.... It's fantastic work!

MS Word just "updated" on my computer, and now every Word document I open has the Co-pilot icon in the corner of my screen. Does anyone know how to get rid of it? It's so incredibly annoying.

I guess the important question is: is the crust any good?

Who says we don't need the National Union Catalogue anymore? Auburn Libraries turned it into a Christmas tree.

I enjoyed reading your piece. But a question: why didn't ProPublica make your list?

RIP Graham Greene. Every time he popped up on screen when I was a kid, my mom would excitedly point him out for being an actual Native on the screen. Able to be deadly serious and infinitely hilarious (even in smaller roles like Last of Us), he ate up the screen. Nʌki’wah brother.

I completely agree and love this show. His portrayal of Maximus was brilliant.
