OA1214 - As the end of 2025 approaches, we are finding real cause for hope in how federal courts have been handling the Trump administration's unprecedented assault on the rule of law. In the first of what will be at least two parts, Matt and Thomas speedrun through just a few of the many wins--both big and small--that we have seen in a wide range of categories.

Lizzie Dibble wants libraries to lend clothes as well as books. Not just any clothes though. A carefully curated selection of donated second-hand fashion, imbued with the stories of former wearers, and volunteer-run.With Love From… has built a collection of occasion-wear, mostly for women (though there's also a children's dressup box) for library members to loan in her hometown of Oswestry, UK. That focus is intentional, because party dresses are some of the least-worn garments in our wardrobes. Lizzie is on a mission to encourage less wardrobe waste and more collective joy - all while encouraging new users into the existing local library network.We have questions!Who's donating? Who's borrowing? How does it work in practice? Did the library take some convincing? How can others get involved? Could it annoy existing library users who just want a quiet spot to read? Lizzie's answer to the latter is both lovely and surprising. She says that the shared wardrobe is a quiet space, and that's part of why it works. With Love From… is not just like shopping without money, but without the frenzy that underpins so much unsustainable consumption. Could this be a blueprint for shared wardrobes around the world?If you find the Episode valuable, please help us share it.Find links and further reading at thewardrobecrisis.comSupport the show on Substack - wardrobecrisis.substack.comTell us what you think.

Join hosts Amanda McNew and Shannah Hayley for a heartfelt and practical conversation about Plano Public Libraries' adapted book collection and adaptive programs. They're joined by Plano Public Libraries team members Maggie Fox and Janet Cox, plus Courtney Walker, founder of Libraries for All, to explain how adapted books help children with disabilities experience reading more fully and independently. You'll hear how the adapted collection got started, what makes these books durable and engaging, and why accessibility in libraries goes beyond getting through the front door. The group also shares how families can find adaptive storytimes and programs, plus ways the community can get involved.   Hosts Amanda McNew and Shannah Hayley  

Send us a textIn this episode, we take a sip from the spring of eternal life—or at least from Natalie Babbitt's Tuck Everlasting—and things get delightfully complicated. We are capping off season 5 with a children's book that is not afraid to take on deep philosophical topics. This is our second episode in a row diving into books centering on immortality, but there are no sparkly vampires with disturbingly ambiguous ethics here, just an immortal toad, an unexpected murder, a disturbing music box (is that Mae Tuck's music?!?), and a little girl who engineers a jail break. Join us as we chat about the Tuck family's accidental immortality, side-eye the Man in the Yellow Suit's villainous mustache-twirling, and ponder whether living forever is truly a blessing or just being cursed to a job that you can never retire from. In this episode we learn that Hawa processes human speech that is too fast to be decipherable to anyone else, worry about Jesse's semi-romantic overtures to a ten year old, and discuss the heavy burden of keeping secrets. We're diving into the magic, the mayhem, and the moral quandaries of a children's classic that still hits surprisingly hard.These Books Made Me is a podcast about the literary heroines who shaped us and is a product of the Prince George's County Memorial Library System podcast network.

This week on the California Sports Lawyer Podcast, host Jeremy Evans unpacks the fast-moving "shadow library" controversy now reshaping generative AI. After a major court setback for OpenAI, the spotlight is on the allegedly unlicensed books and internet materials used to train large language models (LLM)—and why "chain of title" for data is becoming the next legal battleground. We dig into how a pay-to-license future could trigger a full-blown licensing gold rush, turning clean, cleared datasets into the most valuable asset in AI. Jeremy explains what this means for platform costs, access, and the next wave of dealmaking—especially for entertainment, media, and sports libraries packed with talent NIL and archival content. Finally, we look ahead: possible policy and market solutions (from opt-out training exemptions to rights societies, dataset marketplaces, and even blockchain-verified licensing), and why lawmakers and developers must balance enforcement with public access and innovation. If you care about who gets paid when AI "uses" human creativity—and who gets to build the future—this episode is for you. (Season 7, Episode 47). Copyright 2025. California Sports Lawyer.

It's easy to keep doing what worked in the past, but that comfort can quickly become irrelevance. Look at libraries — which where once silent spaces for reading, but are now vibrant community hubs full of energy, events, and connection. They didn't change just for the sake of it; they changed because the world changed around them. And, to their credit, they reinvented themselves to stay relevant and useful. Is that true for you, your team, and your organisation? If you're still operating with yesterday's mindset and behaviour, you're falling behind.https://swiy.co/go-letting-goAs we're coming up to the end of the year and looking ahead to 2026, can you truly say your business or organisation — maybe even your industry or sector — is fit for purpose for the future?I was in Melbourne last week, running a workshop for a group of libraries about how to build a culture of change and innovation.I told somebody about this a few weeks ago, and he said,“Libraries? Why do libraries have to be innovative?”And I said,“Have you been to your local library recently?”Libraries are so different from the way they were when I was at school and uni! You might remember those days, when you had to be completely silent in a library. Even a whisper earned you an angry “Shhh!” from a librarian or another patron.Now, libraries have completely transformed into community hubs. People can speak, shout, and run around. Students go in for study groups. Pre-school kids have fun activities and sing-songs. Guest speakers run presentation for the community. My local library recently invited students from a local school to sing Christmas carols.So, yes, libraries have changed. But not just because they felt like it. It's because the world changed.In the past, when libraries – and books – were a key source of information and knowledge for their community, it was important to be quiet so you respected other patrons.Now, books are still relevant, but they are no longer the main source of information for most people. So, libraries have evolved to provide other services for the community. Because of that change, libraries today are still relevant, valuable, and attractive to their customers.Is that true of YOU as well?I see so many organisations – and even entire sectors – still operating in a way that worked in the past, but is no longer fit for purpose for the future.When the world was changing more slowly, what you knew in the past would serve you well going forward. But increasingly, that's no longer true.I'm not saying everything in the past is irrelevant, but everything in the past is not AUTOMATICALLY relevant.One of the most important future-ready skills we need is the skill of letting go. It's not just about learning, but “unlearning” as well. In your personal life, in your professional role, and in your workplace.I'm going to talk more about this in my upcoming online presentation about future-ready skills. It's free, it's public, and it's open to everybody. Please register, and invite others in your team and network as well.I'll see you in the future.Register for the virtual masterclass:https://swiy.co/go-letting-go Hosted on Acast.

A leading public health doctor recently told the Meidas Touch podcast that we all need to be worried about Donald Trump's cognitive decline, which is very obviously getting worse. The doctor, Dr. Vin Gupta, pointed out several instances where Trump's mental reactions to events happening around him were definitely warning signs of something potentially serious being wrong. Beyond that, Trump's physical health has also deteriorated to the point where he no longer stands for long periods of time, and multiple videos over the last few months show that he's having severe trouble walking. JD Vance has not been in politics for a long time, and that time might be cut even shorter as polls show that his lead over Republican rivals for the 2028 nomination is shrinking fast. Vance's political career might be over before he can actually be in charge of anything, and he'll be relegated to the "profiles in insignificance" chapter of history books. Republicans love to say that Democrats have no leaders, but the reality is that there is no one in line to take the reins of the GOP in the near future.Libraries across the state of Tennessee have begun shutting down as a new Republican order is forcing them to perform massive reviews of their books to align with the Republican-backed book ban in the state. Never in human history have the people that have banned books been the good guys, but that hasn't stopped Republican voters and politicians from thinking that they are the heroes of this story. They will be viewed as some of the biggest villains of our era.CNN recently spoke with several different people who voted for Donald Trump - many of them having voted for him in 3 separate elections - and they were not happy AT ALL with what has happened to this country since he took over. The main issue they have is with the economy, which they correctly say has gotten so much worse since he took over. All of the other things Trump has done are a mixed bag with voters, but that's only because they don't fully understand how it all connects to the economy. Recently, a columnist with the Chicago Sun Times wrote about how Donald Trump's fragile ego is to blame for his attacks on the 6 Democratic lawmakers that put out the video reminding troops that they have a duty to disobey unlawful orders. That's absolutely correct, but it really only scratches the surface of ALL of the problems that we're facing in this country. Nearly every problem that Trump has caused is due to his massively fragile ego - from his troop deployments on American soil to his attempted prosecutions of his political enemies to his trade policies. Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

Biopunk før biopunk var cool “Where small things make big changes.” Sådan præsenterer biotech virksomheden Genetron sig på bogens første side. Genetron forsker i chips baseret på biologi. Hos Genetron møder vi Vergil Ulam, en forsker med genialt talent og mildt sagt elendig dømmekraft. Og da hans chefer opdager, at han bryder alle sikkerhedsprotokoller, og fyringen hænger over hovedet, tager han en drastisk beslutning. Hans forsøg med noocytter – intelligente, lymfocyt-baserede mikromaskiner har skabt helt nye utrolige resultater. Og for at redde sin forskning injicerer han dem i sig selv. Det indre univers: Noocytternes stemmer “A mother should name her offspring, shouldn't she?” Noget af det, der virkelig fangede os, er øjeblikket hvor noocytterne begynder at tale. Det er både dybt creepy og fascinerende. Der er noget sært poetisk over de små væsner, som på én gang er logiske, naive og filosofiske. De spørger ind til kroppen, til verden, til Vergil, og til hvad det betyder at være noget. Om forfatteren: Greg Bear Bear slog igennem i 80'erne og 90'erne, hvor han var med til at definere en særlig gren af sci-fi, der mikser videnskabelig nørderi med eksistentiel undren. Blood Music fra 1985 er det klareste eksempel: en historie, der starter med en enkelt forskers dårlige idéer og ender med en slags kosmisk metamorfose. Han stod også bag Darwin's Radio og Darwin's Children, der begge undersøger menneskelig evolution gennem bioteknologiske briller, samt klassikere som The Forge of God, Eon og The Way-serien. Og som om det ikke var nok, var han også med til at grundlægge San Diego Comic-Con. USA som biologisk superorganisme Efter at Noocytterne har hygget til i Vergil i en periode er de klar til at bryde ud som en virus, der spreder sig over hele Midtvejs i romanen vælter det hele over i stor-skala biomassevisdom. Her fornemmer man at Blood Music har været inspirationen for værker som Annihilation, The Expanse og alt det organiske weird, der kom mange år senere. Særligt en flyveturen over USA er skrevet som en mareridtsdokumentar, hvor vi med reporteren oplever et USA, forvandlet til en kontinentstørrelse organisme, der pulserer i sin egen rytme. Suzy's Choice: mellem individ og kollektiv Romanens følelsesmæssige centrum ligger hos Suzy, en ung overlevende, der stadig er uinficeret, men fanget midt i den omformede verden. På toppen af World Trade Center konfronteres hun med valget mellem at forblive et selvstændigt individ – sårbar, alene – eller lade sig absorbere af det enorme, kollektive sind, som noocytterne har skabt, hvor hendes transformerede mor og brødre nu inviterer hende . Scenen er både tragisk og smuk: en konfrontation med spørgsmålet om, hvorvidt bevidsthedens fremtid ligger i individet eller fællesskabet. Blood Music leger ikke bare med sci-fi-idéer – den rammer også de store spørgsmål om hvad individualitet egentlig betyder. Vurdering Blood Music er idérig og til tider helt fantastisk, men også med en tendens til at henfalde i tung biotech-babble med for mange bipersoner, der forsvinder igen. Vildt original, biopunket og undertiden decideret visionær. Læs for at få en tidlig oplevelse af transhuman scifi med biologisk body horror i ascendanten. Jens og Anders har SCIFI SNAKKET Blood Music. Jens: ⭐⭐⭐Anders: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Shownotes Siden sidst Anders har læst og set: Chuck Tingle – Lucky Day Ian McEwan – What We Can Know : Smuk, næsten kirurgisk præcis clifi om erkendelse og klima. Ken Liu – All That We See or Seem: En cyberpunket sag i Doctorow-stilen. PLURIBUS (Apple TV) : Er lige startet den virker lovende! Jens' læse- og se-sidst-runde: PLURIBUS : Samme reaktion som Anders: fascination blandet med udbredt frygt for menneskehedens fremtid. Jane Mondrup – Zoi : Zoi af Jane Mondrup. Sådan en helt Stanislav Lemsk fortælling, hvor vi er med astronauter ombord på en interstellart rejsende biologisk entitet. Faktisk superfed. Jeg gav den en firer. Fuld af gode ideer! Lytterfeedback Det vælter som altid ind med kærlige skub, anbefalinger og lettere genrebashing. Kåre gav os endnu en lille opsang for vores “snævre” genrekonventioner, fordi vi sagde nej til The Libraries of Mount Char. Til gengæld anbefalede han Christopher Priest – Henning fremhævede især Inverted World, som han mente var obligatorisk almendannelse. Majbrit opfordrede: Hold nu fast i de nyere titler! Så hun kan opdage nyere forfatterskaber sammen med os. Christian bragte gode nyheder fra Bogforum, hvor hans paneldebat om dystopier tiltrak hele 200 publikummer. Diskussionen tog udgangspunkt i Sort Storm, Det døde land og hans egen Pandora-serie – hvilket beviser, at dansk sci-fi har det temmelig glimrende. Næste gang læser vi Olaf Stapledon – Star MakerEn af de helt store, kosmiske klassikere. Universets historie, guddommelig evolution og filosofisk sci-fi på højeste blus. Vi glæder os allerede til at gå i kredsløb om den.

As we head into the last month of 2025, many of you might be starting to turn your mind towards the beginning of the next school year. A big part of getting ready for a new year is, of course, setting up your learning spaces. Whether it be how you'll set up your own classroom, the school library space, or even outdoor areas, there's plenty to consider. We've published a range of new content on the topic of learning spaces recently at Teacher. In this episode, we'll bring you up to speed on it all. Don't forget, like all of our other episodes of Teacher Staffroom, we'll be posing some questions for you throughout this podcast, so you can feel free to pause the audio as you go, gather some colleagues, and discuss together how these stories might be relevant to your school context.

In the second part of then & now's special presentation of the panels from the “Future of History” conference, David Myers, host of then & now, moderates a conversation on the precarious state of history, democracy, and cultural institutions in the United States. The panelists include Lonnie G. Bunch III, the 14th Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution; Athena N. Jackson, UCLA's Norman and Armena Powell University Librarian; and Robin D.G. Kelley, Distinguished Professor and holder of the Gary B. Nash Chair in American History at UCLA.Lonnie Bunch warns that today's political climate poses an unprecedented threat to cultural institutions, from politicians claiming historians can be replaced by AI to direct pressure on the Smithsonian. Extending these concerns to the university, Athena Jackson highlights mounting challenges to libraries and archives, including politically driven limits on collecting and anxieties over corrupted digital data. Robin Kelley situates these pressures within a long history of attacks on curriculum, public knowledge, and racial justice, insisting that scholars must continue to expose structural inequality and resist resurgent fascism.David Myers is the host of then & now, director of the Luskin Center for History and Policy, and the Sady and Ludwig Kahn Chair in Jewish History at UCLA. He also directs the UCLA Initiative to Study Hate. He has written extensively in the fields of modern Jewish intellectual and cultural history. He previously served as chair of the UCLA History Department and as director of the UCLA Center for Jewish Studies.Athena N. Jackson became the Norman and Armena Powell University Librarian in March 2024, marking her return to UCLA after previously serving as director of UCLA Library Special Collections. She is an active member of the Association of Research Libraries and she served as chair of the Association of College and Research Libraries Rare Books and Manuscripts Section executive committee.Lonnie G. Bunch III is the 14th Secretary of the Smithsonian. His most recent book, A Fool's Errand: Creating the National Museum of African American History and Culture in the Age of Bush, Obama, and Trump, chronicles the making of the museum that would become one of the most popular destinations in Washington. In 2021, Bunch received France's highest award, The Legion of Honor.Robin D.G. Kelly is Distinguished Professor and Gary B. Nash Endowed Chair in U.S. History at UCLA.

Send us a textIn today's episode, I'm chatting with Sarah Monzon. Sarah is the winner of the Holt Medallion and Selah Award. Sarah is a stay-at-home mom who makes up imaginary friends to have adult conversations with (otherwise known as writing novels). As a Navy chaplain's wife, she resides wherever the military happens to station her family and enjoys exploring the beauty of the world around her. We are here today to discuss her latest novel, Hearts in Circulation. In this episode, Sarah shares all about her latest novel in the Checking Out Love librarian series.

Studied Software Engineering at the University of Amsterdam. Founded the Dutch C++ Meetup in 2013 and co-organizes C++ Under the Sea since 2023. He has been programming for more than 25 years, his journey began on his father's Panasonic CF-2700 MSX--and has been hooked ever since. He is also 'the listener' of ADSP the podcast.Paul Grosse-Bley was first introduced to parallel programming with C+MPI at a student exchange to Umeå (Sweden) in 2017 while studying Physics. In the following years he learned more about MPI, OpenMP, OpenACC, Thrust/parSTL and CUDA C++. After finishing his Master's degree in Physics at Heidelberg University (Germany) in 2021, he became a PhD candidate in Computational Science and Engineering researching the acceleration of iterative solvers in sparse linear algebra while being head-tutor for a course on GPU Algorithm Design. He learned using Thrust in 2019 shortly before learning C++ and became enamored with parallel algorithms which led to numerous answers on StackOverflow, contributions on GitHub, his NVIDIA internship in the summer of 2025 and full position starting in February of 2026.Show NotesDate Recorded: 2025-10-10Date Released: 2025-11-14NVIDIA BCM (Base Command Manager)C++11 std::ignoreC++20 std::bind_frontParrotParrot on GitHubParrot Youtube Video: 1 Problem, 7 Libraries (on the GPU)thrust::inclusive_scanSingle-pass Parallel Prefix Scan with Decoupled Look-back by Duane Merrill & Michael GarlandPrefix Sums and Their Applications by Guy BlellochParallel Prefix Sum (Scan) with CUDANVIDIA ON-Demand VideosA Faster Radix Sort ImplementationIntro Song InfoMiss You by Sarah Jansen https://soundcloud.com/sarahjansenmusicCreative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported — CC BY 3.0Free Download / Stream: http://bit.ly/l-miss-youMusic promoted by Audio Library

In the latest episode, The Fanbase Weekly co-hosts welcome special guests Matthew Noe (Lead Collection & Knowledge Management Librarian, Harvard Medical School) and Tim Smyth (Educator / Reading Specialist / Eisner-nominated author - Teaching with Comics & Graphic Novels) to discuss the latest geek news stories of the week, including AI's attacks on libraries, education, and knowledge, whether Ben Solo should return to the Star Wars films, and James Cameron's connection to Predator: Badlands.

In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, host Stewart Alsop talks with Jessica Talisman, founder of Contextually and creator of the Ontology Pipeline, about the deep connections between knowledge management, library science, and the emerging world of AI systems. Together they explore how controlled vocabularies, ontologies, and metadata shape meaning for both humans and machines, why librarianship has lessons for modern tech, and how cultural context influences what we call “knowledge.” Jessica also discusses the rise of AI librarians, the problem of “AI slop,” and the need for collaborative, human-centered knowledge ecosystems. You can learn more about her work at Ontology Pipeline and find her writing and talks on LinkedIn.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 Stewart Alsop welcomes Jessica Talisman to discuss Contextually, ontologies, and how controlled vocabularies ground scalable systems.05:00 They compare philosophy's ontology with information science, linking meaning, categorization, and sense-making for humans and machines.10:00 Jessica explains why SQL and Postgres can't capture knowledge complexity and how neuro-symbolic systems add context and interoperability.15:00 The talk turns to library science's split from big data in the 1990s, metadata schemas, and the FAIR principles of findability and reuse.20:00 They discuss neutrality, bias in corporate vocabularies, and why “touching grass” matters for reconciling internal and external meanings.25:00 Conversation shifts to interpretability, cultural context, and how Western categorical thinking differs from China's contextual knowledge.30:00 Jessica introduces process knowledge, documentation habits, and the danger of outsourcing how-to understanding.35:00 They explore knowledge as habit, the tension between break-things culture and library design thinking, and early AI experiments.40:00 Libraries' strategic use of AI, metadata precision, and the emerging role of AI librarians take focus.45:00 Stewart connects data labeling, Surge AI, and the economics of good data with Jessica's call for better knowledge architectures.50:00 They unpack content lifecycle, provenance, and user context as the backbone of knowledge ecosystems.55:00 The talk closes on automation limits, human-in-the-loop design, and Jessica's vision for collaborative consulting through Contextually.Key InsightsOntology is about meaning, not just data structure. Jessica Talisman reframes ontology from a philosophical abstraction into a practical tool for knowledge management—defining how things relate and what they mean within systems. She explains that without clear categories and shared definitions, organizations can't scale or communicate effectively, either with people or with machines.Controlled vocabularies are the foundation of AI literacy. Jessica emphasizes that building a controlled vocabulary is the simplest and most powerful way to disambiguate meaning for AI. Machines, like people, need context to interpret language, and consistent terminology prevents the “hallucinations” that occur when systems lack semantic grounding.Library science predicted today's knowledge crisis. Stewart and Jessica trace how, in the 1990s, tech went down the path of “big data” while librarians quietly built systems of metadata, ontologies, and standards like schema.org. Today's AI challenges—interoperability, reliability, and information overload—mirror problems library science has been solving for decades.Knowledge is culturally shaped. Drawing from Patrick Lambe's work, Jessica notes that Western knowledge systems are category-driven, while Chinese systems emphasize context. This cultural distinction explains why global AI models often miss nuance or moral voice when trained on limited datasets.Process knowledge is disappearing. The West has outsourced its “how-to” knowledge—what Jessica calls process knowledge—to other countries. Without documentation habits, we risk losing the embodied know-how that underpins manufacturing, engineering, and even creative work.Automation cannot replace critical thinking. Jessica warns against treating AI as “room service.” Automation can support, but not substitute, human judgment. Her own experience with a contract error generated by an AI tool underscores the importance of review, reflection, and accountability in human–machine collaboration.Collaborative consulting builds knowledge resilience. Through her consultancy, Contextually, Jessica advocates for “teaching through doing”—helping teams build their own ontologies and vocabularies rather than outsourcing them. Sustainable knowledge systems, she argues, depend on shared understanding, not just good technology.

Journalist Eliot Stein explores the tradition of the djeli – African storytellers who memorize and pass down oral histories – tracing it all the way back to the Mali Empire. Along the way, he tracked down a modern djeli, who is upholding and remixing the tradition. And he found him in an unexpected place: working in a convenience store.   Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

A librarian at the Los Angeles Public Library went viral after giving one of the funniest and most thoughtful explanations of internet slang ever recorded. But beyond the humor lies a deeper message about curiosity, culture, and why libraries still matter. In this episode of Our Classroom, host Roberto Germán reflects on what this viral moment teaches us about learning in public, bridging generations, and approaching education with humility and curiosity. Because whether we're in classrooms or libraries, the goal is the same: to create spaces where learning feels human again. Key Topics The librarian as cultural translator Why curiosity is a powerful teaching tool Learning in public vs. performative knowledge Libraries as spaces for connection and equity How this viral moment mirrors the mission of Multicultural Classroom Resources Mentioned Video clip on Instagram Multicultural Classroom Chapters 0:00 – Welcome to Our Classroom 1:00 – The Viral Librarian Moment 3:00 – The Power of Curiosity 5:00 – Learning in Public 7:00 – Making Learning Human Again

Libraries are vital to rural communities—they do so much more than just check out books. They provide internet access, heating and cooling centers, early learning, nutrition, STEM programs, story time and more. Dr. Regina Washington-Arthur is the managing director of the Rural Library Network for Partners for Rural Impact. With a background in public health, Washington-Arthur explains that libraries contribute to the overall health of a community; they are a critical component of the cradle-to-career educational pathway; and more often than not, they do so with limited financial resources.
