I am saddened to see Mother Jones turn into a haven of neocon Cold War conspiracism with backing from a right-wing Silicon Valley billionaire https://t.co/iP9PPFtJM8 Also, Corn doesn’t challenge a single fact in @aaronjmate’s entirely accurate piece. https://t.co/ya0xIbdHwZ

Neither magazine is what it used to be. And it occurred to me recently that The Smoking Gun isn't discussed much anymore.

Reaction to Reactions: Bhad Bhabie

Is Bhad Bhabie the first to post a reaction video to reaction videos to her song? I don't know but she can dish it out.

Excellent blog by @richardheinberg on why in 2005 peak oil advocates like us couldn't see the shale boom coming, and will struggle to get our message that it is in fact a giant Ponzi scheme out before the bubble bursts https://t.co/mZLXBQLDtT Meanwhile: pic.twitter.com/6GSXUw7K0d

How Things Have Changed

Baltimorean who is 41 with zero retirement savings who has never had a six-figure government job with a pension says people who have to go to work all fucking day and still make time to do whatever they can to “fix” Baltimore are sick of these rich fucking scolds.

New rule, if you were born before 1970 or if you have ever made 100k or more in a year, you don’t get to use the word “whining” anymore. We heard you the first 500 fucking trillion times you tiresome dicks.

Don't Hate, Appreciate.

I don't often agree with Nancy Nall but I like what she says here. Below are some examples of said self-righteous/Debbie Downer types hating on the royals.

I'm-a gonna watch at least part of the royal wedding tomorrow, I'm-a enjoy it, and none of you wet blankets, dweebs and won't-someone-think-of-the-poor-of-England hand-wringers are going to harsh my mellow. Life contains both misery and celebrations, and this one has great hats.

Hey media companies: “in case I missed the royal wedding”? I didn’t miss it. I skipped it. That was on purpose. Quit reminding me of something I was intentionally avoiding.

The Volcano

Sometime I'll look back at the news coverage of the current eruption and see what was the most false, or sensationalistic. The ignorance about Hawaii is understandable, but if people want to inform themselves they can do so more easily than they could have even a decade ago.

Martin Luther King, Jr.: Fifty Years After He Was Slain

Before his assassination in 1968 Martin Luther King Jr. started to realize his "dream" had become a nightmare. MLK then started working on the #PoorPeoplesCampaign so we can get our "check." It's no surprise mainstream media won't play this footage even on this day. #MLK50 pic.twitter.com/k6S3izFyKZ

He was complicated.

The People of the Ruins, by Edward Shanks

Before now, I had heard neither of the book nor the writer. It's available in various formats at The Internet Archive.

"Changing Library Practices in Times of Austerity."

The H-Net Book Channel: "From the Web: Changing Library Practices in Times of Austerity."

Save the UT Libraries! -- A library without books is NOT a library.

Mother and her two teenagers pass this pop-art piece depicting Reagan at the Hirshhorn. “Who is that?” she asks the daughter, who doesn’t know. Distressed, she then asks her son: “Who is that?” He doesn’t know. The look on her face... pic.twitter.com/HhNo4rN3k8

Because my ability to keep up with good stuff that I should be reading is barely adequate I missed this superb tribute to "adequacy" as a concept & a standard for most people most of the time. One does something well enough to contribute &/or to enjoy. https://t.co/DgRMfY9qQ0
