Anyone want a few dozen copies of #藍皮書? I don’t mean the TV series with Aidan Gillen. These were pulp fiction periodicals my parents used to read. Since they started in the 1970s, they have some adult photos in there, too, not that that should be the reason anyone wants them!
In my blog: Like communist dictatorships, Google and Facebook threaten Australia http://dlvr.it/Rr8WpV
My one criticism of Australia’s proposal to charge Google and Facebook for using media content: the bar for what constitutes a media business is too high. Independent media with high standards really might not make A$150,000 in revenue per annum. https://www.accc.gov.au/media-release/australian-news-media-to-negotiate-payment-with-major-digital-platforms
At least the EU has some bollocks in trying to deal with the US Big Tech monopolies. https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSL1N2JX1N3
Bond film delayed again to October 2021. This was meant to have come out last April, wasn’t it? https://variety.com/2021/film/box-office/no-time-to-die-release-date-delay-james-bond-1234883484/
If Marty caused $300 damage to Biff's car, wouldn’t Biff just buy another car? It’s 1955. A '49 Ford can’t cost that much. #BTTF

#Facebook continues to take the piss. This was one of the bots I reported. It’s been given the all-clear. Folks, the profile photo has an Adobe watermark on it.
Not satire: French woman, 58, has been trying for three years to prove that she is alive. https://apnews.com/article/woman-declared-dead-2017-is-alive-2256556e1c682d8ca561cc14b58b0228
Are there any humans joining #Facebook any more, or just bots? Pretty much all I see in the group queue are bots, many of which use the same software. Facebook leaves the overwhelming majority of these (over 90 per cent) alone when reported.
