Bookmarked Toronto library asked to shelve Dr. Seuss' 'Hop on Pop' because it promotes violence by Evan Bleier ([object Object])

The Toronto Public Library was asked to pull copies of "Hop on Pop" by Dr. Seuss because it "encouraged children to use violence against their fathers."

I really hope the person who submitted this to the Toronto Library was joking.

Bookmarked Teachers, Lawmakers Call For Change To Admissions To NYC’s Most Elite Public Schools (newyork.cbslocal.com)

United Federation of Teachers President Michael Mulgrew said Monday that the current system is unfair to minority students who deserve to attend Stuyvesant, Bronx Science, Brooklyn Tech and five other specialized high schools.

I went to Bronx Science. I recall a good amount of diversity. But, I agree an SAT like test is not necessarily the best way to admit people to a school. Wonder if I’d have gotten in if that were the only factor.

Just paid for web upgrade to @pocketcasts as seems to be the only way to get history, hoping to download an OPML file or scrape history to publish listen posts., but after paid upgrade my history says “Once upon a time… All your played episodes will appear here.

I tried this ages ago, but it never worked for me. Has it changed?

@dshanske sure, but do you post your battery level? @aaronpk does -> aaronparecki.com
And do you post detailed walks with GPS and photos? @johnjohnston does 🙂 -> johnjohnston.info/blog/yest…

Wasn’t suggesting there aren’t lots of good location based features. I love seeing what people come up with. I was trying to see if I could push someone else to add it. I want to add more location features. I just added private geofencing.

Have you tested IndieAuth? It should just work, but this suggests some sort of login error.

I have decided to deprecate the Bridgy plugin as it misled people about what it did. You can register directly on the Brid.gy website.

Just released another minor bugfix for Post Kinds. This is the 7th in the last few weeks. The recent update, version 3.4, created a few issues, but also revealed some that were already there as I started actually checking more of the data I’ve been storing for a rainy day.

For example, I’m no longer doing backward compatibility retrieval on posts using the older storage formats, which, looking at older posts, means that some things are not displaying. I have been restoring the information to the posts by manually reparsing it, but I may have to release a version to do so automatically, as no one wants to go through old posts.

Fortunately, I don’t have that many, but I do need to make sure those who posted more aren’t subject to the same problem.
