πŸ™‚β€β†•οΈ I appreciate the news out of Scotland of a bagpipe player drowning out annoying sounds. But have you considered the advantages of THREE bagpipe players? And a louder song?

🐣 β€œThey have a term, β€˜grocery.’ It’s an old term, but it means basically what you’re buying: food. It’s a pretty accurate term, but it’s an old-fashioned sound, but groceries are down.”

Today Melissa Lewis over on BlueSky pointed out that the font used in the infamous "You wouldn't steal a car" anti-piracy campaign was actually designed by Just van Rossum, whose brother, Guido, created the Python programming language (bsky.app/profile/melissa.news/post/3ln7hx5rhcj2v)

She also pointed out that the font had been cloned and released illegally for free under the name "XBAND Rough". Naturally, it would be hilarious if the anti-piracy campaign actually turned out to have used this pirated font, so I went sleuthing and quickly found a PDF from the campaign site with the font embedded (
web.archive.org/web/20051223202935/http://www.piracyisacrime.com:80/press/pdfs/150605_8PP_brochure.pdf).

So I chucked it into FontForge and yep, turns out the campaign used a pirated font the entire time!

A screenshot of FontForge opening a PDF brochure from the "Piracy is a Crime" campaign, showing that it is using the font XBAND Rough, an unlicensed clone of the font FF Confidential.

Historically we have not felt the need to boost legacy publications even when they on occasion publish writers who share our radical affinities.

The Guardian doesn't need our help. But this article by Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor needs your attention!

It synthesizes a lot of the best analysis of our urgent predicament that we have seen, and finishes with a comprehensive call to action.

A wool dryer ball, which helps clothes dryers save energy, adorned with an image of a monarch butterfly. It's in a window display of an eco/ecolo market in San Francisco, atop a pile of dryer balls, including one that looks like a ladybug/ladybird.

128 mayors & city councillors across Canada suggest redirecting billions of dollars in fossil fuel subsidies and increasing taxes on big polluters to create jobs for local climate solutions, rather than focus on building more pipelines as proposed by Poilievre and Carney. #cdnpoli

πŸ‘ΆπŸ½ Bruenig and/or her subhed editors probably couldn't provide a coherent definition of what β€œleft” means, but I'm pretty sure eugenics is disqualifying. Still, it sounds like she/they wants/want red diaper babies?

The Pro-Baby Coalition of the Far Right

Perpetuating humanity should be a cross-politics consensus, but the left was mostly absent at a recent pro-natalism conference.

Disabled people have been warning for years that the pandemic response (or lack thereof) was going to lead to fascism.

We begged you to wear a mask. To fight for clean air. To refuse to toss β€œthe vulnerable” aside just because you wanted to go β€œback to normal”.

We are one of the first groups targeted by fascist regimes. We fight for survival every single day under a capitalist system that assigns value based solely on economic contribution.

Include us in resistance efforts. We can help. We are survivors.
