I don't have much to share about Presidents Day, but two years ago @aadl.org commissioned me to create an electronics piece based on/using audio from LBJ's 'Great Society' speech (delivered as a UM commencement address)

So, I made "Condemned to a Soulless Wealth" - enjoy!

The donation operations of the Friends of the library recede into the distance.

Forklifting a pallet of McDonalds hashbrowns boxes full of VHS tapes of broadcast TV bound for @archive.org to make room for FIRST in Michigan’s swerve drive robotics training event in our warehouse this weekend while the local teams build their practice field. Just normal library director stuff.

A family poses with Akako, who wears glasses and a yellow hat. The backdrop is bright yellow. A man photographs the scene, with everyone smiling for the camera.

Two children engage in activities at AADL's Groundhog Party in a library. A bright stage and colorful banner on the lobby screen creates a playful, lively atmosphere.

Children color Akako coloring sheets at a table. Colorful crayons and markers are in a blue container. The scene is creative and cheerful.

Children gather around a table for a button-making activity, guided by an adult.

AADL hosted a Groundhog Party today, featuring our own mascot and friend, Akako G. Shins! Buttons, stickers, coloring sheets, and plenty of photo ops!

Matzo ball with extra matzo balls!

Don't miss Moop and Dreadly! (Made by Hulabee which is its whole own post-humongous saga but the game is a delight.)

All clear. Thanks again for the ping; as you know we’re not part of the city government and seeclickfix doesn’t reach us unless someone at the city manually lets us know.

Thank you, on it.

So excited to have @chriswarcraft.bsky.social and @scalzi.com in the same building on the same stage @aadl.org in a few weeks! Don't miss this very unique event!

Eli and Sherlonya as Mister Okay and Dr. Lullah from the amazing show Stugo. Mister Okay is a dog with human legs and waders, and Dr. Lullah is wearing a gold-trimmed labcoat and pink glasses.

Thanks so much for sharing these! Sorry to hear it's definitely over, but you brought us so much joy with this show. Best wishes to you and everyone who worked on the show. ❤️

i’m clean shaven except for mutton chops, wearing a regency cravat, vest, and red officers coat with gold trim and epaulets, standing in the lobby with a large screen showing Jane Austen’s 250th birthday ball!

I hope you’ll join us at the Downtown Library this very evening as we celebrate Miss Jane Austen’s 250th birthday with a ball and period dancing! Capital!

Justin, saying that AI replaces cognition is exactly congruent to saying that Ponzi schemes replace mutual funds. Convincing simulacra that appear to be doing impossible things are not replacing anything except other grifts. As labor saving tech they’re more mechanical turk than spinning jenny.

I’d say this might help… but they probably don’t know who big bird is either. youtube.com/watch?v=fAXO...

Thanks for watching, James. We did record the reconciliation panel that followed the premiere as well and will be posting that to the film page soon.

And most importantly, thank you to those affected by what happened for sharing their stories and how this affected them, particularly Blair Shelton, who sued the City for return of his DNA samples and won. See all of aadl's records about the DNA Dragnet here: aadl.org/taxonomy/ter...

Huge thanks to Councilor Cynthia Harrison for originating and producing this project, and to filmmaker Aliyah Mitchell for doing such an incredible job with very challenging subject matter. And big thanks to the AADL Archives Team for the research and digitization that supported this project.

Yesterday we premiered A RIPPLE IN ANN ARBOR, a 50-minute documentary about Ann Arbor's DNA Dragnet of the 90s, when hundreds of Black Men were profiled and accused of serial rape. It's now available to stream online at aadl.org/arippleinann... . Read on for thanks and acknowledgements!
