Farcebook - an insiders tale

The review of the book (the author is married to an FT Editor) does not mention that she was personally responsible for getting the platform accepted in Myanmar - where it was responsible for the disinformation and hatred that led to many deaths on top of ethnic cleansing. It exposes the targeting of the young and vulnerable well.

Why does Starmer want to go for the lowest common denominator when the free fo all and intellectual rape of artists and writers will be encouraged by Trump and his techbros?

When I went to college decades ago, and first walked into the main library, it took my breath away. I'd never been in the presence of so many books.

Finding WorldCat.org yesterday, felt like that.

"WorldCat.org is a resource for locating unique, trustworthy materials that you often can’t find anywhere except in a library. By connecting thousands of libraries’ collections in one place, WorldCat.org makes it easy for you to browse the world’s libraries from one search box."

"In the past fifty years, thousands of libraries have represented their collections in WorldCat. Today, you can search WorldCat in nearly 500 languages to find physical items like books, audiobooks, maps, musical scores, and recordings, along with electronic items like ebooks, e-journals, articles, and digital images you can access online."

Brief Review Death in Fine Condition, Andrew #Cartmel

I'm of mixed opinions. Not up to the standards of the 'Vinyl Detective' series (centred around an obsession with #paperback crime stories) but fun. However my conflict stems from the fact that although the chief baddy is a very nasty man, the anti-heroine did start things by stealing his precious collection of crime books! No synpathy from us.
