RIP Walter Koenig, the first Star Trek actor I ever met at my first ever convention way back in high school. Thanks for all the memories. 🖖

I pray you mar no more trees

This is the Stolen Neighbors Quilt. Each of the 11,000 squares represents a person taken by ICE in Minnesota.

Why learn science? Because lots of things can seem like a big scary conspiracy theory when you don’t understand how the world works! Empower yourself by learning about facts and evidence and reality. As a bonus, it’ll lead to a healthier and more prosperous society for others around you.

IMPORTANT: You can use the word 'autumnal' today.

I feel like I should go take an extra blood pressure pill... 🤘 #hookem #longhorns

The clear lesson here is that Texas fans booing Ted Cruz is always good luck.

And then suddenly you find the most important question ever asked in an 17th century book. The depth, the power, the genius... Is cheese rational? Well, is it? IS IT?! web.archive.org/web/20200915...

I’m going to need everyone who’s reporting on AI psychosis and how it’s making people, especially men, come up with theories of everything to please talk with the scientists who have been getting multiple emails from “theory of everything” guys for decades

Sep 5th 1959 - Gordie, Chris, Teddy and Vern discovered the body of Ray Brower. 📽️📅 Stand by Me (1986)

Just like the Germans did with the Berlin Wall. Hand out sledgehammers and let the people express how they feel about Trump’s monuments to himself.

Just talked with a student reporter about what the atmosphere was like on campus on 9/11... he finds it interesting and is doing a story on it because HE WASN'T BORN YET. Excuse me while I go turn into dust...

Today's "Adventures in PMA" - no A/C on 14, 15, 16, 17 since about lunchtime yesterday. 🥵 (they've brought in fans and coolers, but of course they are LOUD)

Nooooooo! I loved going to that museum when I visited Philly several years ago. 😧

It's that time again! And even if it's 100°F today, I will still be celebrating the start of meteorological fall. 🍁 (credit - sarahcandersen.com)

I know everyone will talk about Clue and Rocky Horror, but I loved the complete randomness (to 18-year-old me, at least) of Tim Curry as the sub's doctor in The Hunt for Red October. And his audiobooks were delightful - I listened to him read all of the Lemony Snicket series and they were great!

Is there no other

WRONG 80-YEAR-OLD AGAIN!! Gah!!

If this next hurricane lives up to its name, it won't hurt anyone and will break up, bringing just the right amount of rain to drought-stricken counties.

The Library is devastated to learn of the passing of Dolly Parton, a music legend and titan of children's literacy. Her Imagination Library program has earned multiple Library Literacy Awards and, in 2018, she visited us to donate its 100 millionth book to our collection and host a story time. 🦋❤️

Here's the official announcement of Parton's passing from her reps, along with the request that in lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com

Everyone else has already said it better than I could, but RIP to a great one. I can't begin to explain the impact that 9 to 5 had on me and my girl friends as kids - we watched that thing on repeat in the early 80s! We were convinced that's what work was going to be like when we grew up. 😆
