Personal acct. Library Director @ Ferguson Library in STL. Views are my own, NOT my employer - obviously. Libraries don't opine on govt corruption, share geekery, or babble about their day.
You know what's truly useless to me? Business cards. We are well past American Psycho. Only people who never follow up want them or push them. People who will work w you ask for digital data, searchable. I have a small drawer where I put the cards people give me. I consult it maybe twice per decade.
I am compelled to inform the world that I have fallen in love with this 3D printed half skull.
12yo and I made paper dragon hand puppets. The blue and yellow one is mine. She made some others, too.
12yo saw the slack logo and said "is this made by AI because it looks like a butt hole?"
What are they wrong about? A pic from the executive summary in the website you linked.
I mean, there's Revelations 13:15, wherein the second Beast gives life to images of the beast in order to control everyone. Right after the part where the first Beast gets a headwound that miraculously goes away.
So, where is the other $135-470 million going? To the other taxing entities (fire, police, school, library, etc) or someplace else? I had heard it pitched as a reduced tax rate, but it sounds like technically zero taxes in exchange for some fund, and only part of the disbursement is listed here.
I don't know why, but emoji "reactions" to emails in a professional environment just seems kind of gross to me. Maybe because it makes work email seem as ephemeral and personal and emotive as private text? Am I turning into an old fuddy duddy?
Yay! Taught the youngest how to ride a bike! The next to youngest is regretting this choice.
The new head of the Department of Homeland Security, Markwayne Mullin, having a perfectly normal day during the reportedly peaceful protests of Jan 6, 2021.
That's been mangled by AI. One of the dudes has no head and too many knees. The following is reportedly the image the AI was trying to "enhance".
Every reporter who stands in front of any European leader absolutely needs to ask "is it true that you called Trump 'daddy'? Trump wants the world to know that you call him daddy. Why do you call Trump daddy?"
Merry Christmas! The iridescent, deeply etched detailing on these metal (🎶🎸METAL! 🎸🎶) dice is amazing! It's a lovely floral pattern, but somehow my camera is not catching the sparkle.
