@bater possibly, but since we abandoned the last of the gold standard back in the early 70s, I’m not sure that explains even partially why it’s happening now.

BREAKING

Donald Trump has been indicted by a federal grand jury on *4 criminal counts* in Jack Smith's investigation into efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

The sealed indictment has been delivered to a DC magistrate judge by the foreman of the grand jury

Trump tried to overthrow an elected government in 2021, and may actually face justice for it. He's made it clear in his 2024 campaign that he will rule as a dictator if elected.

If Big Journalism won't finally take a stand -- in its news coverage, not just in its commentary -- to protect democracy (and by extension journalism), then it'll be directly complicit.

“I'm here in Florida. I will tell you there is no round table, no lecture, no invitation we will accept to debate an undeniable fact. There were no redeeming qualities of slavery,” responds VP Kamala Harris to #Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis calling for her to debate him about the state's new education standards.

Yet another Trump Indictment.

Let's be clear. Trump was NOT indicted by Biden, Clinton, Pelosi, Soros, Big Bird, Target, Wokeness, Disney World, the pride flag, critical race theory, or Barbie. Trump was indicted by private citizens—as the US Constitution requires. Period.

Love the smell of due process on a Tuesday.

@GottaLaff Trump's legal issues are taking a nonstop ride on an out of control express elevator to the top floor.

His mental issues are taking a nonstop ride on an out of control express elevator to the sub basement.😜

He going to lose it big time with this latest indictment.🤔

I did not have “CDC warning of leprosy cases rising in Central Florida” on my 2023 Bingo card. But in retrospect, I should have considered it.

"Getting rid of physical books because we now have databases is like getting rid of sunshine because of the existence of vitamin-D pills and cod liver oil." --love that.

a plea for keeping physical libraries available. (but it is key to remember that all living library collections include materials that come and also go)

Death of the physical library

One of the unsung disasters of contemporary academic life is the death of the physical library. There are so many disasters in current year academia, I doubt as anyone else grouses much about this,…
