Killing libraries is not about saving money, it’s about restricting knowledge. Beware the leader that doesn’t want the people to read.
Can’t they just sell one of those sound-weapon equipped tanks from the NYPD to cover the entire library budget?
The fascists don’t want to. They love weapons and hate books.
Sell it to whom? They’re the only buyers.
Sell it to the library? Wait.
Yes, but they don’t want to.
As the cousin of a NY public librarian, fuck mayor Adams, but for so many more reasons than this.
Stop voting cops in as mayor’s, because at the end of the day they’re still just corrupt cops.
I always only see this, when i encounter that image:
Sorry for the distraction.
The picture included makes me think we should challenge the mayor’s hotshot skier son to a race down Triple Diamond run, and if we win the library will be saved for us punk kids to use on Sundays.
I don’t care if libraries get used or not, they NEED to be kept open. For the sake of information keeping and internet for those who don’t have any at home
Oh no. You know shit is really terrible when they cannot even afford to communicate at 8 bits. It’s 5 bits Baudot code. Capital letters only. They actually had to pay extra for @, #, and $. Thankfully, by 1870s, % was part of the character set. My heart’s with anyone who can’t just blast UTF-8 out wherever they can.
(Edit: In case you’re wondering why it has a weird gif attached to it: The Memelord, Musky Elon, has decreed that you can actually attach a shitty random gif FOR FREE. So of course any cash strapped institution will do so.)
This what happens when you elect a cop.
Are people actually against libraries dying? What the hell is this deluded take?
Libraries provide a host of public services beyond “warehouse for books”. A big part of our digital archives come from library digitization programs. And knowing how to sort, store, and distribute this information is a vital piece of library science.
Losing libraries means losing the tools we use to organize information on a national scale.
yes. Personally, i use libraries because I cannot afford buying a book (mostly programming) and I don’t like split screen and can’t afford another monitor. I have used the library here in Toronto so many times they know me by name now at two branches.
“So are you going to let me cum in your ass or not?”
I know it’s a bad situation but they could cool it with the caps. Worse legibility and readability.
It’s part of the meme, tho.
Idk about NYC, but my local library might as well rebrand to a homeless shelter. I love the concept of libraries, but if they aren’t going to throw out the homeless people using it as a place to jerk off and do drugs, then idk what to do. I personally don’t feel safe at ours, especially with my kids.
Seriously, have you considered that the same ideology that strive to choke public libraries, also the one that push people to homelessness? (At least unsheltered homelessness)
Yeah, you shouldn’t see homeless people. no one should!
(/s)
I mean, this but unironically? No one should be seeing homeless people because they shouldn’t be homeless.
But they do exist, something systematic must be changed for then not to exist. (Public housing, maybe?)
But until than, what?
