If you are actively or covertly trying to shutter public libraries in the name of your god, you are an ignorant asshole.

And while you think your god is telling you to shutter libraries but not telling the pedophile priests to sexually assault the most vulnerable members of our society, then you are worse than an ignorant asshole.

Overstating the power of algorithmic systems only serves to benefit the tech companies behind them. This intersection of generative AI and Republican is indeed disturbing. It is not, however, the presage of a future ruled by machines. theintercept.com/2023/08/16/ai

In , the complaint of just 1 parent can get a book moved off a school library shelf. This week, a local bookstore gave away free copies of "The Hill We Climb" by Amanda Gorman, "The ABCs Of Black History" by Rio Cortez, & "Love To Langston" by Tony Medina, as a way to push back against in Florida schools. The book giveaway was hosted by Books & Books, & paid for by Gorman & a local donor.

I’m really tired of this bull…

“Criminalizing Art”…
, attacking librarians & teachers…

Stop asking others to “PARENT” your own kids!
Quit making others do YOUR job!

How many of the people trying to ban library books are actually library users? (In my experience, none!)
