It’s really fantastic how libraries have transformed to stay relevant in a digital age. Not to mention that there’s still a lot of people who prefer printed material.

Some towns that have remodeled their libraries in recent years have coffee shops in them. Best of both worlds.

Oh Blood Will Out is great! I’d read Mark Seal’s The Man in the Rockefeller Suit but I still went in for it. Never enough Clark.

You may! I’m always looking for recommendations. I actually have Bulgosi’s Helter Skelter on my list.

If The Band wasn’t comprised of a bunch of Canadians, they’d be the greatest American rock n roll band ever.
Side note: I’m currently reading The Stranger Beside Me and the first chapter or two are slow and then it’s just terrifying and fascinating. I have a feeling I’ll read lots of true crime this summer.

“the book?”

I went to an all-girls Catholic school, so I never had the opportunity to directly derail a young man’s education with my foundation garments. What is weird, though, is that even in my Catholic school uniform (high-collared shirt, necktie, calf length tartan skirt and brown loafers with knee socks - oh yeah, it was a…

High school me would just have just said fuck it and chucked the bra. If you thought the straps were distracting wait until you see these G’s sway.

Should note that this animal and that fucking loser Bernardo were actually married and raping/killing, not just dating and raping/killing.

The concept of not only consent, but “Enthusiastic Consent”. If your prospective partner is at all reluctant, evasive, or even kinda blah about the prospect of sex, it’s not time for sex. It’s time for talking. “Persuading” someone to have sex with you is rape.

In other words, if you’re not both shedding clothes like…

“There is a great deal of not just poetry and prose in the Bible, but from what I’ve read almost every piece of history that’s in the Bible has eventually been proven,” says Rev. Ray Hurt, who preaches in Mercer County.

In my high school classroom, I kept a plush pig (huggable-size) that my wife had knitted for me, because I’m random like that. We had an actual lockdown which lasted about three hours. My students were huddled under the desks, and one of them started crying from the tension. I had no idea what to do, so I grabbed it…

Fox is like the hood over my stove. It’s constantly covered in this thin film of tacky, disgusting grease and when you touch it by mistake you recoil.

Yeah, one thing I’ve learned as I’ve grown older - you should go to funerals of people you know whenever it’s not a major inconvenience (though if they’re really close, then you go anyway). Their families really appreciate it. If you “don’t do” funerals, you need to get over yourself - nobody fucking likes them.

Dead people are dead, so they don’t need you to go to their funeral.

We had a similar exercise conducted at a hospital I worked at about 5 years ago. Our “trainer” was a knowledgeable, former FBI agent & just about the kindest man you could ever meet. The first thing he told us was, “you’re not Jack Bauer so stop pretending to be”. He said they’d get calls all the time about people…

you know, my whole experience with specialists has made me really bemoan the loss of the traditional general practitioner. each time my dad had a new issue, say, when he developed neurological problems in his foot, or his incontinence did not improve, a new specialist was called in. and they did all the tests to look…

agreed.

People will lose their jobs for not coming to work when expected. Remember how the “Day Without Immigrant” turned out?

Same judge who came down light on the boys in the Rehteah Parsons case.
