The cyberattack on The British Library in October 2023 knocked out ebooks and almost ever other computer thing there for years. Ebooks just came back. They were knocked out everywhere using the BL’s license (legal deposit libraries I think? More libraries?) Distributed physical copies matter.

@reynoldsgareth.bsky.social may I humbly request that once a year The Dollop sells CD’s (not download) compilations.

SLUGGO’S THURSDAY THOUGHT

I’m very happy to see the adoption of “difficult women”. Excellent! Be very, very difficult. Chaps, don’t let the side down, also be difficult. Call out all those “bros”. Not just for misogyny but for all the bullshit. bastards rely on people not wanting to be difficult.

It's in small text so just so we're clear: EQUIVALENT TO THE ENTIRE SOLAR CAPACITY OF SPAIN

With "a budget deep in deficit" the @albomp.bsky.social govt is choosing to kick >160,000 people off NDIS rather than ‼️ END AUKUS ‼️ IMPOSE a 25% tax on gas exports that only impacts profits of gas industry ‼️ END Fossil fuel subsidies ‼️ END Negative gearing 94 seats & this is what Labor chooses 🤬🤬🤬

Weird-off challenge no 3. Unless I have a formal meeting, I wear my tshirts inside out because I don’t like the feeling of the seams.

#auspol you pay for her life. She is gutting education and council workers pay.. for what? This is not political representation because her gilded life is unlike anyone else.

The Albanese government wants to remove more than 160,000 people from the scheme by the end of the decade by narrowing eligibility and moving some support outside the NDIS via state-run “foundational supports”. Get your morning news in the Crikey Worm: www.crikey.com.au/2026/04/23/n...

#auspol I have been yelling about the importance of doing this for decades! It’s a no brainer! We have the talent and people to make it happen. Frankly it’s crazy how much of our critical systems run on code we can’t see.

9,000 tonnes of farmed salmon died of bacterial disease in TAS across the first three months of this year. Delicious! You know what I wash it all down with? Big dollops of advertising.

Great to join @marketplace.org today! Talked about the reporting that @hanaatameez.bsky.social and I have done on why news publishers are blocking the Wayback Machine. www.marketplace.org/episode/2026...

Admittedly I know very little about the bible, however the one time Jesus lost his cool was when he smashed a bank. So, it’s your time to shine true believers!

BLOOD WORK / EPISODE 29 THIS IS HOW YOU KILL THEM: GENOCIDE w/ JOE KASSABIAN @jkass99.bsky.social Joe and Gregk use Gregory Stanton’s ‘Ten Stages of Genocide’ to discuss the tactics & techniques states deploy to legitimise and perpetrate mass murder.

Look at this!

The Government™ has made an ad about the era we're living through, and it's surpsingly honest and informative.

I can’t prove it but I feel one of my plants is trying to stop its neighbor from getting light

The nurse who changed my dressing today said everything looked good except for this odd wound. I had to tell her it was from an oil splash.. because I was cooking naked again. We had a good laugh. Nurses are the best.

You have heard of cat-cafe, we need doggie-pubs

A Jewish man is among the first charged in Australia's Queensland for wearing a t-shirt with and chanting the prohibited slogan, "from the river to the sea" -- a ridiculous effort to defend Israel's endless occupation, apartheid, and genocide. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

#auspol our political class sees Australia as a resource to sell to private enterprise. We need a political class that sees Australia as a nation.

This #melbourne spring weather is lovely. Strange to have it in autumn though.

Isn't this one of the problems with humanity? In Australia, it's hard to even bring up West Papua as a topic of discussion. Maybe because it's too close, and Australia been implicit in ignoring it for so long, the guilt is so strong. #AusPol #WestPapua

After France, Denmark is moving too: its Digitalisation Ministry plans to phase out Microsoft, switching to Linux and LibreOffice in the coming months. The goal is clear—reduce dependence on a handful of global tech giants and strengthen digital sovereignty.

"It's a terrible situation to be in. It would be great if people take leave without pay if they can afford to do so. "Obviously, it's more saleable with a workforce." Lesson is, private business can not be load bearing to a society. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04...

Aussie spiders though. Houses haven't been around as long.

The people I was #cat sitting let me keep the cats for an extra couple of days after they got back. It was great but not enough. I have become greedy for purrs.

#auspol politicians should be randomly selected from the community like jurors are.

#auspol Australia put a social media ban on teens, yet did nothing at all about X being a literal csam production and distribution website

Now that the veil of Israel has been so clearly lifted, ask yourself what other things you have just believed to be true because you were told that they were.
