    Are there no civic leaders *anywhere* who understand the Paradox of Tolerance? No, you cannot welcome bigots and still say your space is welcoming to the public. That's the one group that's incompatible with every other group. Dump the bigots, serve the public!

    I’m listening to a Casey Kasem top 40 show from 1992 and it is amazing. No. 12 is Color Me Badd, No. 11 is Nirvana. Also, did you know Jon Bon Jovi covered Elton John’s Levon (very badly)?

    Libraries can and must draw a line against welcoming those who represent a threat to the humanity and existence of a part of their community. It’s all the more horrifying that this article *understands the stakes* and argues otherwise. via

    If I understand this bookseller's description correctly, this is an 18th century Portuguese bureaucrat requesting a transfer in the form of a published poem.

    Best of all, this copy has a spectacular ownership inscription by a contemporary female owner—I’m hopeful someone will be able to positively identify “Domina Joanna Regnas”.
