In this morning’s #SHARP2024 session on piracy, Michael Knies is describing methods C19 pirates used to copy fonts sold by other foundries, including methods using electrotype. What I’m wondering, of course, is whether we might use similar methods today to reproduce lost typefaces?

The Times is baying for an 81-year-old to quit but admires an 83-year-old author who won't.

"Clashing views of the nature of politics." Damn, The New York Times has a never-ending pool of white-gloved euphemisms for authoritarianism, insurrection, and fascism.

I wake up to Politico on Morning Joe. Look how they, like The Times and The Post, are baying for Biden's head.

This story is terribly misleading. MSNBC hosts are not baying for Biden's head, like The Times and The Post. They are critical because they are responsible journalists. But that does not mean the network is calling for him to drop out.

The Post and The Times go out of their way to give space to more people to call for Biden's head. Do they ever give space to anyone to call for Trump to drop out? No. Do they give balanced opportunity to those who back Biden? No. The agenda is clear.

Editors pride themselves on the magical talent they call news judgment. Well, compare The Times after the debate, with apocalyptic panic over a hoarse President, with the mild coverage of the breaking of the Constitution by its highest authority.

Wu has been at war against the 1st Amendment since his 2017 “Is the First Amendment Obsolete?” As the net enables public discourse as never before and as fascism rises, we need its protection more than ever. The Times gives him frequent opportunity to express what in my mind is a dangerous opinion
