Of possible interest, especially for #WomensHistoryMonth, the United Nations is holding the 68th annual Commission on the Status of Women (CSW68). Their iLibrary has a selection of books and documents on #GenderEquality. UN resources can be read free online on their website.

Of possible interest for some folks, via United Nations' Library. I get updates from UNL, and once in a while find things that could be useful in some of our classes.

Kenneth Branagh's latest Agatha Christie adaptation, "A Haunting in Venice," will be in theaters in the U.S. on Sept. 15, with a cast including Jamie Dornan, Tina Fey, Michelle Yeoh and of course, Kenneth Branagh as bewhiskered detective Hercule Poirot. In this slideshow, A.V. Club has ranked the best Christie movies and TV shows, going back to 1945's "And Then There Were None." Who's your favorite Poirot?

Just saw that. I was going to go find a copy in WorldCat, and saw Suchet did an adaptation in 2010.

For reference (for me and others): an edition of the book:

The Suchet adaptation is, among other places in, vol. 12 of the Poirot series.

My local public has the series run, I need to go find it (after I read the book).

I'm going to try and stop debating with people, because frankly I find it completely pointless. I'm just going to spread my beliefs to any and all who want to listen, and if someone has a problem with what I'm saying, then they can deal with it themselves. If they have questions about my beliefs, then they can go to the many search engines at their disposal and receive a much better answer to their questions than I ever could. I would suggest they go to The Anarchist Library or LibCom websites if it's a question about my beliefs, which are heavily inspired by Peter Kropotkin, and they can read the many book by him, about him, or just about Anarcho-Communism in general.

Speaking of timely relevance, I hear you. I gave up on debating or trying to even fact check ages ago. My peace of mind is the priority now.

Outside of my workplace #ReferenceDesk, it's pretty much this.

Nope, sorry. I learned already I do not owe anyone a "debate." There are search engines, learn how to use them. Need help learning how to use them, you can ask your local friendly librarian (which includes me). Need help evaluating sources, there is #ReferenceDesk.
