David Artiss @artiss.me · 04/10/2026During Banned Books Week, it's worth pointing out that the UK have had 75 books since 1512 (one every 7 years). The US has had 8093 since 1981 (180 every year). And, yet, the US thinks we're the country suppressing freedoms of expression. 1123

David Artiss @artiss.me · 12/09/2026Despite being on the iPhone Upgrade Programme, I've not ordered the new phone.

David Artiss @artiss.me · 14/08/2026Considering how careful they've had to be making sure emergency alert tests were warned of in advance, because of the impact it can have on some people, genuine ones need to be a really, really, full emergency - "do this or you're going to die" kind of thing.
