Trump hates this photo of him. Definitely don't share it far and wide today.

Happy May Day, comrades. In #finland it is called #vappu and celebrated with a great donut called #munkki

Plenty of pundits are telling us “cheer up, Trump’s all hot air. He doesn’t really mean it.” History is littered with such self-deceptions, and they don’t age well. In fact, these confident chin-strokers have often proved to be a major part of the problem.


And now #raygun has retired. It’s been a helluva week.

Congratulations to the winners of the PM's Literary Awards, including André Dao for his brilliant novel, Anam! @ConversationEDU theconversation.com/prime-minister…


It’s a goddamn archive and the best way we have of preserving our culture. The same rules don’t apply to the @internetarchive so stop enforcing dated IP against them. Shame @HachetteUS, shame.

Our story: A federal appeals court has upheld a lower court's decision against the Internet Archive’s book scanning program, leaving only the Supreme Court left as recourse and suggesting that the case may finally wind down after years of contention. buff.ly/4cNpYiE
