  • What are some of the weirder things you've read cover to cover?

    Have you ever read a dictionary cover to cover? Or an encyclopedia? A thesaurus? A car manual? A very niche magazine about tractor engines?

    My mum tried to get me to read the dictionary cover to cover when I was a child, but I only got to the end of c before getting too bored. I did read an encyclopedia of the human body, though.

    On flights I read the evacuation and emergency pamphlets cover to cover every time 🫔

    Before using a new piece of equipment/machinery I'll literally read the manual cover to cover like a book before touching anything šŸ˜‚

  • Google alternative

    People who don't use google, or use something else alongside google, what do you use? What do you like and dislike about it? I've been getting more and more frustrated with google because I just can't get the answers I'm looking for anymore! It's pages after pages after pages of store links and I'm sick of it. I don't want 6 freaking pages of links to amazon damnit!

    ... so, yeah. I'm at my limit but I also don't know where else to go so any help and/or suggestion appreciated. Thank you, kind PBers. PBees šŸ?

  • On the Side of ICE: Policing Immigrants in a Sanctuary State
    Thoughts from 11% / Introduction

    " This book ... argues that sanctuary is a form of policing, sanctuary policing."

    " The government needs information flowing from all sectors of society, including from communities that include undocumented immigrants, so it can best manage the use of public resources ... In this manner, sactuary may also be thought of as a lever of government resources mediated by a particular sanctuary style management strategy."

    "Sanctuary government provisions maintain a docile and easily exploitable labor force that is multicultural and, therefore can additionally contribute financially valuable cultural assets-- ethnic food, clothing, events, and linguistic capabilities-- that can be used to market the jurisdiction as desirable to cosmopolitan-minded working professionals, companies, and investors."

    "Some legal scholars have argued ... that sanctuary policies largely reinforce a sort of legal status quo-- that is, they reaffirm constitutional boundaries and state's rights-- and push back upon national attemps to overstep its legal powers and overcontrol these local and state spaces."

    Private sanctuary providers of housing, food, etc. are described "as serving in an auxiliary role to the state, providing services the state would otherwise provide citizens with full rights ... thereby keeping them calm ... the immigrant is not so agitated as to demand immediate full rights and membership from the state."

    "The various phenomena that are labeled as sanctuary largely fail to produce completely safe spaces, sustain vulnerable people in the long term, or allow them to thrive as fully expressed and self-determined people."

    No notes. Go off, king.
