I adore Sunny and I’m beyond disappointed they chose to use Ai for their marketing

@Smorgasboredom I am also a DeSimone from NJ and my dad and all of his family are obsessed with being Italian-American while knowing zero about it

Buried in this 162 page report is the tell. The White House suggests the Smithsonian's flagship history museum needs a warning label at the entrance, because the exhibits inside were "prepared by people who don't want you to love your country."

Read that twice. The material getting flagged as unpatriotic includes slavery, exclusion, and the treatment of Native nations, things that happened, documented in the federal government's own archives. A warning label on accurate history is not a correction. It is a request for the museum to stop telling visitors things that are true.

The same report also demands the museum "correctly identify what a woman is" in an exhibit that happens to profile a transgender teenager, and separately flags "anti-White activism" as a category alongside slavery and conquest. That is not a fact-check. That is a content mandate, dressed up as one.

Nolan’s adaptation of Homer looks all wrong. Old ships and wooden horses and mythical creatures. Homer works at a power plant and eats donuts. He’s friends with Lenny and Carl. I guess we’ll see. 🤷‍♂️

libraries literally aren't just places to obtain books for free. they're some of the few public spaces left in our society where you're allowed to exist without the expectation of spending money.

queer people who have already read it might not be the target audience of that video but seeing straight people genuinely support queer works and potentially expose more people to read lesbian books is a great thing for everyone

Well no it actually came out in 2013

[🦋Lexi🦋HOTD SPOILERS🐉 @CrypticTomes]

A bookstagrammer is going viral for trademarking the term “hot girls read” and is going for small business who sell items with the term….wow

@simpsons_DG correct, with one important exception

[bee 🐝🌸 @librar_bee]

@simpsons_DG as a queer Simpsons fan, thank you for this!

the comments are wild lmao, imagine being that pressed about people loving each other!

what's even funnier about this is that libraries pay a premium for the licenses on ebook & audiobooks, that have to be renewed after a certain amount of time or borrows, in order to make up for the lost revenue.
