Fucking general strike, now!

Sorry, I haven’t a clue.

That’s exactly it. NPR will go on, but local, small market, broadcasters who receive as much as half of their funding from this, will be severely affected. Rural America will be the biggest loser here.

Oh wow, so we’re just doing away with constitutional rights? Freedom of speech and assembly is being tested. Do not give them an inch, otherwise it will take generations to get it back.

Middle what? Middle age?

It’s COmMunIsM!!

You don’t hear governors refer to current presidents as wanna-be dictators either.

Wait, what? I admit it’s not peer-reviewed, but it’s hardly pseudo-science. I even shared a gift article. Also, it was written by Alice Callahan who is a Times reporter covering nutrition and health and she has a Ph.D. in nutrition from the University of California, Davis.

Some of you sooner than others

They cost far more (whereas physical books are heavily discounted for libraries), they have licensing terms (limited circ or time period), and there’s the issue of hosting perpetual access materials. Physical books are just cheap, durable, and most importantly yours to do whatever you want with them (donate them, sell them, make crafts with them, etc.).

Certainly not for public libraries

Bullshit. He is looking for a deal, just not one that is favourable to both parties.

One step forward, two steps back.

I buy bananas all the time. Bananas are dirt cheap and I imagine they are dirt cheap because the labor costs are so low. I feel like I will be financially okay if I had to pay an extra dollar for a bundle of bananas.

Probably the same thing they want from Ukraine.

According to this NYT article (https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/13/nyregion/rikers-island-receiver-nyc.html), NYC is spending more than half a million dollars per inmate annually. Ex.: “there is roughly one uniformed officer for each inmate at Rikers, according to city data — an unlimited sick leave policy”

EDIT: oh shit! I just noticed that it says “daily” (!!). My bad, you’re right.
