On this day, “36th of July” in 2024, a student-led movement toppled a brutal authoritarian in Bangladesh. Hasina fled to India where she remains, evading justice. Adnan Hossain was at Gonobhaban & sent me this remarkable photo. I couldn’t celebrate because I was in London giving media interviews

I don't know why they bothering banning books in the US. About half the population could not even read a book like that.

🚨 It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work. This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public. Please spread the word. 🧵 1/4
