for who it wasnt clear yet: climate change is no longer something that’ll have catastrophic effects 9 years from now or only in “lesser” (bah) countries that arent as well prepared. the dutch are famous for our water ingenuity and infrastructure and look where we are. eat the rich
In The Departed (2006), Matt Damon and Mark Wahlberg play two different characters— a subtle nod to them being two different actors, despite my wife being unable to tell them apart on the first viewing of the movie.
op this is the funniest post you’ve made yet
do you guys wanna hear the latest drama among librarians across the country
Ask and I shall deliver
Okay so the latest drama is apparently there is a man calling across random libraries across the country and he’s asking for information on a court case specifically Brady v Maryland and when he calls he claims he doesn’t have a computer so he asks for the case to be read aloud to him
Here’s the thing. He is asking for uh not legal reasons but umm because he well….he well…he’s yknow 😳 And he’s called multiple libraries and done this and the FBI is supposedly involved and can’t catch this pervert that’s just calling libraries and getting off on librarians reading about some random court case
And apparently the dude called my work! And I wasn’t there for it but they put him on hold cause they were like “is it him…” so they got a male coworker to answer the phone and he immediately hung up and like hdjdhsjshhs?!? What is happening!!
I TALKED TO HIM. He is absolutely masturbating while you read the court case. He has hit MULTIPLE libraries ACROSS the country. He’s called my library twice and another local library last week.
So if you get a blocked number asking you to read Brady v Maryland wiki article while he “writes it out by hand,” hang up. Log it, tell your managers.

This whole scenario is just one big “what the fuck” but… Brady v. Maryland? I mean, I don’t know what court case would be titillating, but Brady v. Maryland?
They literally work every day with very ill cancer-stricken kids who can't get the vaccine.
This makes 100% sense.
Good
Today I found out that, for multiple movie adaptations of books, Sir Christopher Lee showed up on set with his own copy of the book, which had passages marked that he felt under no circumstances should be omitted from the film
My parents recently moved across the country, after my dad’s retirement, and now they’re relatively close to me and (most of) my siblings after years of being multiple time zones away
And when they moved, Mom brought a dozen or more boxes full of things that she just knew us kids would want
…things like participation ribbons from when I was in gymnastics… in the first grade.
Now, maybe if I’d continued in gymnastics and made something of it as I grew up, those would have a special place in my heart. But I stopped doing gymnastics when I was… seven? Eight?
My sisters have likewise commented on the lack of sentimentality attached to the things Mom insisted on bringing for them.
I’m even fairly certain she asked us about these kinds of things, and our answer was “we don’t care, just get rid of them,” and yet she loaded up entire boxes full of yearbooks that are just going to end up in the trash because any high school classmates I still care about are my friends on Facebook and I don’t need to look at their glamor shot from when they were 16
