@edbilodeau Interesting. Reisman stepped down as CEO last September, so this might be a way for her to get her personal project back under her control.

The CBC headline reads, "Police end occupation at Columbia".

Why were the police occupying Columbia?

Silly shell hack I just needed. How do you run "sleep" until a certain time of day rather than for a fixed number of seconds?

sleep $(( $(date -d 13:00 +%s) - $(date +%s) ))

@joat why not just use at(1)?

djfiander,
@djfiander@code4lib.social avatar

@joat Oh, in that case, shutdown(8) supports scheduling a shutdown time, and cancelling the shutdown later if you want to.

Well as the mom of a high school junior looking at colleges I guess I have some Questions to ask because I can't say I feel great about funneling $70K a year to people who send riot cops after their own students

@thatandromeda just remember what's important: the school is far more likely to receive funding and students from Israel than it is from Palestine.

I have a question from my 📚librarian colleagues who are better versed in LOC than I.

Is there any way to request a change to one's LOC VIAF record? I have one from years ago but I've since changed my surname.

LB: apparently Canada banned menthols a billion years ago and I don't know why. I mean it's not like they banned regular cigarettes or anything.

Trump getting a SCOTUS hearing on whether or not he’s an annointed king when he also personally hand-picked 1/3 of the very justices ruling on it in the same week where Harvey Weinstein’s judgement gets appealed despite dozens of victims makes it so clear that ultra-rich white men can do anything, anywhere and with enough resources they will never face consequences for anything no matter how disgustingly they lead their lives and it’s fucking horrible and depressing to see this shit play out.
