Banned books are not a relic of history. Maya Angelou, John Steinbeck, and Kurt Vonnegut have all faced bans. So have dozens of contemporary authors writing the truths of our time. The goal is always the same: limit access, narrow perspective, reduce who gets to speak.

Is there a word for the sense of victory you feel when you check Amazon Prime and Apple for a movie that’s to buy on both those platforms, but then you check Netflix and it’s free there? Surely the German language captures the unmitigated joy of saving £3.99 in this fashion

I can't believe it's taken 25 years to get round to watching it. Spirited Away is one of the most beautiful movies I've ever seen. 😍

BINGO: “Nexstar is currently seeking FCC approval for its planned $6.2bn (£4.5bn) merger with Tegna.” www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

US soybeans used to be abt 80 cents per bushel cheaper than Brazilian. We slapped China with tariffs, they responded in kind. Now Brazilian soybeans are abt $2/bushel cheaper than from the US. So guess where they're buying from? Lots of people are going to lose the farm over this.

Probably gonna miss some Star Trek TOS posts now but I needed to mute that word for my sanity. I need more birds and pottery and nature and cats, less staring into the absolute fucking abyss.

Been watching various Star Trek TNG ep because I badly crave intelligence and hope in humanity. It helps

The fact there’s a place called Shingay Cum Wendy in this country isn’t discussed enough

I can relate to curly fries because I’m also salty and spiralling.

Hadjar heard the Red Bull promotion rumours and went "fuck that"

We live in the Bad Place. For fucks sake, you’re never going to get Reform voters. Just do some good for the next 4 years and to hell with bullshit optics like this.

Actually, Frankenstein is a doctor success at the Venice film festival

Do French people call it ChaaaJayPaiTay?

My entire job is a joke in Cards Against Humanity

“Nothing beats a Jet2 holiday and right now you can save £50 per person”

What’s up Stick Nation. Today’s stick is this lovely to hold discovery that our daughter has immediately claimed as “her lightsaber.”

things were better when the computer lived in its own specific room and you only went in there sometimes

@localghost.dev have you seen this before? solar.lowtechmagazine.com/about/the-so...

Male celebrities should just stop trying to be cool because Leonard Nimoy played Spock, directed Star Trek IV, had a hit song about Bilbo Baggins, and then became one of the world’s most talented photographers of fat women exclusively, and fellas, you’re not gonna beat that.

That post-holiday dread

I’m kind of speechless with this one. I can’t imagine the kind of person who continues to make the argument that it doesn’t count as real starvation if the kids were already sick.

Halcyon days

Technological archeology

This is *immensely* stupid advice. They don’t use energy while they’re sitting on a hard drive not being accessed. They very much use energy while you’re going through them all and deleting them. It’s also a fraction of a fraction of the energy saving you’d make by driving less or similar.

National Trust kind of weather today 🌳

I really wish the Labour Party was the Labour Party and not somehow worse than the Conservatives

Love a gallery wall @ Back to Ours

Grounds for divorce imo

The most Björk review possible

It really feels like a war on intelligence, curiosity, and learning.

tfw the hover state kinda changes the story 😆 @theguardian.com

10/10 scoop. No notes.

We're hosting our first meetup at the Sling offices (a design panel!) and the turnout and vibes are amazing???

Did somebody say, @sling.money?

We’re actually required to wear these into the office

Has anyone on earth ever tapped this button?
