Mom, wife, writer, Christian. I got stuff to do.

He’s a reporter covering the White House. As I keep telling you, America’s political press is failing you.

[George Takei @GeorgeTakei]

The question is not how good Biden’s first year has been—and it has been very good.

The question is how much better it would have been had the GOP not spent every last breath—and often it was the very last breath—trying to ruin it.

All adults should be forced to work retail one Christmas.

It changes a person.

[Angry Staffer @Angry_Staffer]

I’ve always been hesitant to blame the media, but there’s something to this.

It’s more nuanced than simply “the media is out to get Biden,” but the economy *is* usually number one indicator of poll positivity. 1/2

@schaalfan Yes. My job-seeking patron who can no longer afford his cell phone, but forgot the password to the email account he used for a job app found that so helpful. Did no one think this through?

I’m guessing Google consulted zero public librarians before forcing 2FA on 250 million accounts

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

Not one, not two, not three, but seventeen Nobel prize winning economists say that passing Build Back Better will ease inflationary pressures and lower costs for American families.

Let’s get this done.

[Lousy Librarian @LousyLibrarian]

Pretty sure our manager’s effusive blanket praise of the staff for doing basic things — answering the phone with the standard greeting; walking people back to the stacks instead of just pointing — is actually his way of subtextually reprimanding certain people for not doing them.

"There's no entitlement like celebrity entitlement," Frank Bruni writes. "It can make a man who throws a football very far and very accurately believe that he knows better than deeply learned scientists about viruses and vaccines." https://t.co/EUE0xq3Hcw

"I need to make copies of these papers."
"I can help you with that. Are they all one-sided?"
"No, I think they're mostly pretty unbiased."

My 17yr old daughter just said “if one person dies from a prop gun in a movie set, everyone talks about its safety relentlessly but when kids die from mass shootings in schools, it’s not a big deal. It’s unbelievable💔” - how about no one should die from gun violence?

[Daily Sophie Hunter BR @DailySophieH]

in 2004 Screen made a list of who they were betting on would be the new movie stars besides Benedict Cumberbatch appearing on the list and on the cover Sophie's name was also one of those listed.

WOW. In the 1940s, Reverend Issac Simmons' family owned more than 270 acres of debt-free land in Amite County, Mississippi. Before Simmons could rightfully pass on the land to his family, 3 white men TERRORIZED and murdered him & forced his family to flee their land.

@kelseybogan When I was a book fair volunteer in the 2010's for an elementary school in Indiana, the library was open.

[Robert Stern @RobertCStern]

I called Ted Cruz's's office asking to make an appointment to talk with the Senator about my blood pressure. They told me that the Senator was not qualified to give medical advice and that I should call my doctor. So I asked them to stop giving advice about vaccines.

@MagicalOverload I know 8 off the top of my head. 2 were solved.

[Louie's Mom @LeahGuinn @LeahGuinn]

@Circ_Nation Oh my word.

[Be A King @BerniceKing]

How can a “Christian” be more concerned about saying “Merry Christmas” and getting presents on time than they are about relieving people from poverty, racism, militarism, and ecological devastation?

[Amy Siskind @Amy_Siskind]

First we learn Sinema spent the week of recess in Paris, instead of in AZ with her constituents. Then we find out the $1.1 million she raised in 3Q came 90% out of state, with a huge influx from Big Pharma execs who want to block part of bill to cap prices. This is diabolical 😡
