People who say “libraries are irrelevant and no one visits them” are telling on themselves. Library use has been steadily climbing. Gen Z and millennials visit libraries in massive numbers—not only for reading but for crafts, classes, community events.

When they told us that the future was driverless vehicles I didn’t realize they were talking about the House of Representatives.

(Don’t know if the attribution is right; I’ve also seen it credited to Sun Tzu, and it might have been neither. But it’s a good quote.)

@GailSimone Shouldn’t he be legally required to stay at least 500ft away from any schools? (Or humans in general?)

we spend so much time trying to fit in and win the approval of our peers but honestly the best thing you can be in this life is an unhinged weirdo pursuing your niche interests with like-minded weirdos

@Dbwagner104 @GhostInTheShark My sister moved to Hong Kong years ago, and we kept in touch by Skype. My cat, Noodles, could hang up on her with one keystroke, and did it over and over for years. We joke that that’s why we switched to using FaceTime: no buttons for the cat to press!

@piper4missouri @eeekabee It gets even better! A number of the AZ legislators who voted for the voucher program own or have shares in charter schools. So they’re also using it to line their own pockets! https://t.co/GJIcmWyYah

@palashp40616755 @AskLyft Hey, can anyone retweet? Tux the cat was stolen by a Lyft driver and is still missing more than 24 hours later. Lyft’s response was to threaten to charge his dad a fee for the return of his “item.”

@TODAYshow @lyft @WatchSavannah That’s great and all, but how can we trust a company that doesn’t care when their drivers steal customers’ pets? https://t.co/nGNWVJfEM0

@AskLyft My Lyft driver drove off with my pet cat still in the car.

I was taking my cat to a vet appointment, I was sitting behind the driver and had the cat carrier on the floor of the passenger side back seat.

@RexChapman The video says the pig was 300 lbs. and foaming at the mouth (which would make me at least suspect rabies); that thing could hurt somebody badly, especially if it’s rabid.

[Kendra Abel @KendraAbel2]

@ShouldHaveCat I love that they used the song “Cats On Mars” (from the anime Cowboy Bebop), too!

@dog_rates The next post in my feed seems appropriate (although I don’t know how you’d pick just one!):
