Tenacious Library 🧬🔬

I did it again.

@Serenity3000 Everything I type on the typewriter feels important! It's so clickity!

@DefAMustRead I'm getting my kid one of these for Christmas this year.

I am learning about literal carbon copies and my dad is laughing at me on the phone. I seriously didn't know that was a thing. I never thought critically about the term "carbon copy" and I've never used a typewriter in any form. Damn. What else don't I know?

How dare Spencer Pratt and his family stay in a hotel instead of an unsecured Jetstream trailer with no running water while unhinged leftists send him death threats. Disqualifying. Please vote for more drug needles, social workers, and less police.

@wilfred56 @Hunter_Eagleman I'm trying to understand. Do you think that Texas is in a worse state than New York fiscally? Or are you referring to needing to worry about Texas because the federal government tried to allow it to be invaded by illegal border-crossers in the last term?

@Hunter_Eagleman Who care how he did it he did it why don’t you worry about Texas You know, it’s pathetic how you worry about all the states and drone state is a leach of blue states

A few FACTS about Mayor Mamdani’s so-called “balanced budget” for NYC: • The city’s historic deficit was covered largely by a massive state bailout from Albany, funded by ALL New York taxpayers across the state, not just city residents. • He restructured and extended pension payments to 2037, deferring billions in costs and saddling future taxpayers with the bill. • He raised fees for critical services: ambulance rides, plus new charges for EMS treatment even if no hospital transport. He also ramped up enforcement on parking tickets, bus lane violations, and other fines. • Increased revenue from the city’s permit fees, licenses, and other user fees. • Implemented over $1.2 billion in cuts from housing voucher programs and the Department of Education. He’s not “taxing the rich” rather…. HE’S TAXING EVERYTHING YOU DO!

@Nickatina6 @uubzu @livormortis666 @ChudTheBuilder No. The real issue is that a particular group does not get to designate any word as "theirs". Especially not when so many of them try to protect this designation with violence. Nobody cares if you call us racist anymore. It's retarded.

@uubzu @livormortis666 @ChudTheBuilder Why do you want to say racist slurs so bad? That’s the real issue here

The @ChudTheBuilder shooting seems tailor-made for national attention. Here are some of my beliefs: - the Magic Word is a loadbearing pillar of the civil rights era and gay race communism - we will never be free as long as there is a special word that gives blacks social and even legal permission to violently attack Whites - nobody actually cares about the word. The magic is jealously protected as a means of disempowering, humiliating, and controlling White people. It is a cynical power tool which only works because we allow it - gay race communism has to be fought on every front. We can’t allow them any untouchable shrines into which to retreat when needed You can question Dalton‘s methods, his motives, and his personal life, but if you question his courage then I’d like to know what it is that you are doing to give you such standing When someone is courageously risking his life to fight an important and thankless battle, I’m not about to countersignal him and I don’t think you should either. You don’t have to openly support him. But if you feel compelled to trash him, I don’t think we’re on the same side Stop ceding them the Magic Word. Don’t be a mindraped slave. Nigger nigger nigger. I wish Dalton the best. Anyone who supports trying to hurt him belongs in jail. There can be no magic words

@Jollybgood @jondelarroz 🙄

@jondelarroz who knew Odyssey purists exist - and that their heads would explode if someone reimagined it?

Another thing about the new woke Odyssey no one's talking about: they're removing the classical music influenced traditional symphonic score from the movie. They claim having an orchestra is "inauthentic." An orchestra is white culture. They have no problem being inauthentic with plate armor, with black Helen of Troy, or making Travis Scott a rapper bard, or putting a transgender as Achilles in Elliot Page. Suddenly when it has to do with white culture they must get rid of it and tell you it's better that way. This whole Christopher Nolan movie is an anti-white cultural erasure. Are your eyes open yet?

@MattWalshBlog And yet, Hollywood keeps making these humiliation propaganda pieces. Because they can, and they don't care about double standards or hypocrisy. Only power

@BillyNotWillium @Viralvid_89 My first thought too

@Viralvid_89 While she was gone the apartment caught fire… Have they looked into the possibility she started the fire and then left

22 year old Danozjna Shalita allegedly left her three kids home alone while she went out running the streets in Pennsylvania. Police say she barricaded the children inside a bedroom before leaving, pushing a couch in front of the door and blocking the stairs with a mattress. Inside were her 5 year old son, 3 year old daughter, and 5 month old baby girl. While she was gone, the apartment caught fire. According to investigators, the landlord called to tell her the apartment was burning, but she allegedly hung up and didn’t show up until about 20 minutes later. She initially told police she had been at Walmart, but detectives checked surveillance footage at two different Walmart locations and say she was never there. Phone records allegedly showed she had been talking to her boyfriend in jail and arranging a drug deal for him. All three children died in the fire. Danozjna was arrested and charged with third-degree murder, aggravated assault, endangering the welfare of children, and reckless endangerment.

I have some advice for Spencer Pratt. You’ve seized the national energy. The spotlight is yours for the next few weeks. I'm going to show you how you keep it and continue your surge through the finish line. Keep talking about the homeless and drug problem and show it raw Walk straight through the worst homeless encampments in LA. Film everything. Turn the footage into a hard-hitting campaign ad that contrasts the decay with what Los Angeles used to be. Show before and after shots of these areas. Remind people how much money is wasted on these people as the problem gets worse. People love your videos and are waiting the next one. It can be a basic reel. Livestream your walk through these encampments and publicly challenge “Basement Bass” (brand her as this ASAP) to join you on a tour. Offer to donate a substantial sum — say $25,000 — to a dog rescue or a fund for stabbing victims if she takes you up on this offer. Make the challenge impossible to ignore and even harder to accept. If she dodges, it proves she’s hiding from reality. If she shows, the visuals will do the rest. She can't win this if you play it right. Brand Karen Bass Lock in a sticky, unforgettable nickname like "Basement Bass". She literally dropped out of the last debate. Use this to brand her. Frame it as the following: she is so disconnected from reality and the real problems that Angelenos face that she can’t survive even basic questions in a debate. Every time she avoids the press or tough scrutiny, remind voters she’s “Basement Bass” and hiding from the city she helped ruin. Speak liberal Interview everyday LA moms because they are the ones living this nightmare. Ask them exactly how they feel walking their kids to playgrounds that are so close to open-air drug markets. Let them describe the feeling of watching their neighborhoods collapse, unable to do the most basic things like letting their children play outside. Use their genuine emotion and Liberal-style “lived experience” framing. It’s powerful because it’s authentic. Use the word feel as much as possible because Democrats speak kinesthetically ("I feel", "It feels like"). Speak their language. You and the moms will be speaking directly to voters' subconscious minds, and that's powerful. It wouldn't hurt to speak to a few victims of homeless crime/stabbing victims as well. Describe to people what was taken from them You do a great job of telling people what you're going to do. Put as much focus on what LA was and what was taken from Angelenos. Interview longtime residents in their 40s and 50s who remember the real Los Angeles. Get them to paint the picture: the feel of safe streets at night, the energy of thriving neighborhoods, the buzz in public spaces. The younger crowd has no idea what they lost out on. Tell them. Be visual and sensory. Show old photos or footage alongside today’s reality. Before and after pictures and videos. Make voters feel what was lost — and who took it from them. -- You are not running a conventional campaign. You are running a cultural one. You're the guy who's willing to go where the problem is, describe what everyone sees, and force the perpetrators to confront it. Go do it. The more raw and unfiltered you are, the more energy you'll attract, and the greater you'll surge in the polls. Keep going. There's an army behind you.

@CeciliaGlennon ...well. I know something I need now (the book, not the little people).

@DefAMustRead It's an old children's book about tiny people.

So, I was messing around in the library, moving some books, and I heard a little *tink*. I assumed that a random screw or nail that I had left on the shelf had fallen and hit the floor. I looked around and I found this...

@CeciliaGlennon They're in my house? 😳 Also, I never saw the term Borrowers before this post.

@DefAMustRead How do you think The Borrowers make their clothes?

@matthewrobson Ha!

@DefAMustRead Were they for when books came with uncut pages?

@Julie_Butcher I haven't thought about monopoly pieces in a long time! My sister and I used to fight over who could be the dog 😅

@DefAMustRead Monopoly?

@HodgesBoots ...😳

@DefAMustRead Tink? Perfectly sized for Tinkerbell, no?

@mrhandyman1030 I can drive a stick shift! I drove a manual Volkswagen Jetta all through high school and a toyota in college and it was awesome because no one asked to borrow my car 😁

@DefAMustRead stickshift is hella fun.

@BranwenOShea But the library is in my house 😳 x.com/i/status/20541…

You weren’t supposed to find that. A library elf is madly searching for those.

@PresentTenseAte Yes 🥹

@DefAMustRead Absolutely beautiful books

It may not seem like much, but it's legitimate progress! The remaining row will be moved in tomorrow!

@Nstig8tor62 Then best avoid ☺️

@DefAMustRead It keep me up at night. 🫤

@INFPaully In fairness, I grew up in Germany 😅

@DefAMustRead 🤯

Something funny - I have spoken many languages in my life. At various points I was legitimately fluent in Spanish, German, American sign language, & Turkish. I notice my English changes when I speak to our new Japanese friends 😅 just like with my old Turkish boyfriend.

@NewRandomGeek She tried to tell me that they could use their email to send a fax. It was a fundamental/core concept misunderstanding 😅

@DefAMustRead LOL!

@NewRandomGeek I had to do outreach to a cohort in their 60s/70s (follow-up to a 1960 study) when I was in DC and within an hour of beginning the work, I was in my boss' office demanding a fax machine (in 2013) because that's what everyone wanted to use to submit forms 😅

@DefAMustRead I love videos where they sit kids down in front of things like rotary phones and ask them to use them. Not crapping on you, it's just stuff younger folks never had to deal with but we go, "I remember that."
