‘Interest in Gutenberg’s Bible waned to such an extent that at least fifteen of them ended up sliced into strips to reinforce more desirable titles – such as a handbook of legal process in Saxony from 1666.’ Adam Smyth (@adamwithbooks.bsky.social) on Gutenberg’s books www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

"Every time I have been on major network channels to talk about this, they’re very quick to say, 'Trump has not been implicated.' Well, there are emails now that say Trump spent hours with victims and knew what was going on." Dems should do more mockery of networks for their Epstein disclaimers:

I’m so glad to see this government is winning back voters from the Greens by scrapping terrible stuff like *checks notes* subsidies on bicycles, heat pumps and electric cars 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

Mark Epstein asked his brother Jeffrey Epstein whether Steve Bannon could confirm if Putin has “the photo of Trump blowing Bubba. Jeffrey Epstein: "I thought I had tsuris,” using the Yiddish term for troubles. #OpDeathEaters

NEW: DHS invoked the “national emergency” at the border to skirt competitive bidding rules for a $220 million taxpayer-funded ad campaign. We found that a firm with deep ties to Kristi Noem secretly benefited from the deal.

You may hate the British tabloids most of the time. Like I do. But when they get it right. They go for the jugular. No quarter given. And none asked. If he tries to sue any of them. Watch them all circle their latops, computers and mobiles around themselves.

Note from the editor of the Sydney Morning Herald, Bevan Shields on why the SMH has hammered readers this week on the Nazi protest at NSW Parliament, referring to them as racist trash, which of course they are

The ruling class is powerful but they have to act within the constraints of what regular people tolerate. So if people are raging at town halls, protesting, and overall not giving "rulers" a moment's peace, that dramatically changes the options they have available to them.

Interesting thread, suggesting that Trump will be the one who is sacrificed. It makes sense, given the tsunami of damning evidence about to break over hundreds of billionaires and power-brokers. It was only a matter of time before Trump became more a liability than a useful idiot.

Ok Amyl & the Sniffers said it wasn’t safe to play but have put $5k behind the bar at venues across town to say sorry and give Melbourne and free drinks on them. Sweethearts.

"I cannot think of an occasion on which anyone at the BBC has had to resign for misrepresenting a leftwinger. But the appeasement of the right never ends, and nor will it ever be satisfied. In this media climate, it’s not surprising that governments are retreating from climate action."

Chris Minns’ plan to compulsorily acquire farmland for a gas pipeline to the Santos-backed Narrabri field – and the water-draining Liverpool Plains CSG mine – should be a fight for the local MP. Instead, writes Tony Windsor, silence from the man in the hat. satpa.pe/NYzR1JX

“Oh noes, children might talk to creeps that might say terrible things to them, ban under 16’s from social media” *but deck the halls with AI toys tho, amirite?*

If you don’t want your child linking morality to surveillance, don’t buy them an Elf on a Shelf either

If you wouldn’t want a random stranger in the street chatting intimately with your child, don’t give your child an AI toy

Jeffrey Epstein coached Steve Bannon on political messaging during 2018 pro-Trump media campaign "Bannon did not reply to multiple requests for comment from the Guardian" www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

It was especially noticeable. When the New South Wales Police tried to stop, a peaceful protest rally, in support of Gaza, Palestine twice in Sydney. Citing both times. Police were conxerned for participants safety. Which is complete bullshit. Because nothing happened.

There are thousands of things like this in tech. Why is search bad in Gmail. Why does Bluetooth suck. Why are most streaming apps bad. Why is file transfer still annoying. Every day it feels like I've got random issues with tech stuff while these companies sink billions into AI
