  1. A quotation from James Shirley

    The glories of our blood and state
       Are shadows, not substantial things;
    There is no armour against fate;
       Death lays his icy hand on kings:
             Scepter and crown
             Must tumble down,
    And, in the dust, be equal made
    With the poor crooked scythe and spade.

    James Shirley (1596–1666) English poet, playwright
    Contention of Ajax and Ulysses for Achilles’s Armour, sc. 3, st. 1 (1659)

    Citadels attracted a mature literate crowd, a clear forerunner to modern twitter-like micro-blogging, that none the less reveled in irrelevant shitposting 😆

    from a eulogy for three citadels by Michael Finley of the St. Paul Pioneer Press circa 1996?? now there's something to track down a scan of

    so there you go, from top of the world in the early 90s, to rapid death around '96 along with the rest of the BBS scene...

    as the large for-profit multi-line boards pivoted to full ISP service, the amateur sysops looked at their phone bills and began eyeballing DSL connections instead of second phone lines...

  6. North #Wales market town at centre of royal claim over '#ManorialRights' to its minerals

    Residents of #Pwllheli receive letters saying Crown Estate wants to register ownership of the minerals beneath their homes

    Dean Kirby
    Thursday 04 February 2016

    “It is over 600 years since Pwllheli in North Wales was given its charter by Edward, the Black Prince.

    “But now the ancient market town is at the centre of a #Royal claim over the 'manorial rights' to the ground on which its foundations are built. Around 1,300 homeowners in Pwllheli and nearby Morfa Nefyn have been sent letters saying the Crown Estate wants to register ownership of mines and minerals beneath their houses.

    “The estate, which manages sovereign land, says it has owned rights over the minerals for many centuries and is now having to register its ownership after protection over these rights was withdrawn under new land registration laws.

    “But the letters sent out by the Land Registry notifying residents of the claim have sparked 'worry and alarm' according to the town’s MP, who says the Crown Estate’s bid mirrors the 'grasping, unprincipled landlordism' that has bedevilled Wales in the past.

    “The row comes two years after residents in Anglesey and the Arfon area of Gwynedd pledged to challenge similar notices sent out on behalf of the Crown Estate claiming ownership over ancient rights to minerals and mining.

    “Liz Saville Roberts, Plaid Cymru MP for Dwyfor Meirionnydd, which includes Pwllheli, said: 'This has alarmed my constituents and has been the cause of great worry for local people

    “'Staking claim to mining and mineral rights reeks of the 19th century, not the 21st century. There is no place for this kind of approach today.'

    “Mike Parry, a town councillor in Pwllheli, said: 'These letters are worrying for people, especially the elderly, who are concerned about what will happen to their homes.'

    “The Crown Estate is an independent commercial business, with a history dating back to 1066. It has been tasked by Parliament since 1760 with managing the sovereign’s land.

    “Over the last 10 years it has returned a £2.3bn profit to the Treasury. Its portfolio includes Regent Street and much of St James’s in London – and the entire UK seabed.

    “Homeowners in Pwllheli have been told they can challenge the claim, but must provide evidence that they are entitled to whatever minerals might lie beneath their homes.

    “The minerals, if they exist at all, might include deposits of sand, rock or even quartz. But they would not include coal, oil, gas, silver or gold, which are covered by other legislation.

    “A spokeswoman for the Crown Estate said: 'Along with many other landowners, the Crown Estate is in the process of registering historical mineral rights with the Land Registry.

    “'These claims are not new and we would like to reassure local residents that the registration process is in no way an indication of our intent to begin mining, which in any event would require planning permission and the surface owner’s consent.'"

  10. Apparently this book #Owned argues the tech billionaires indirectly bought #GlennGreenwald and #MattTaibbi. Maybe. I do think media ownership always influences the content. And also that creators come to recognize how to shape their content to get popular with different crowds. But #CitationsNeeded always claims that if you're not their version of left on an issue, something bad faith is going on. And none of these folks ever say this all demands media decentralization.

  13. The World’s Largest Omelet Was Cooked in the World’s Largest Frying Pan in Chehalis, 1931.

    A huge crowd gathered at Alexander Park in Chehalis for a picnic, where a giant omelet that took home the title of world’s biggest was cooked in 1931. The best part of the picnic was this priceless photo of Thora Yeager skating across the frying pan with slabs of bacon strapped to her feet, in an effort to grease the frying pan.

    ‘Things happen’

    #WashingtonPost Editorial Board

    Setting the record straight about our murdered colleague.

    The #US govt often advances its interests by working with nasty people, & #SaudiArabia Crown Prince #MBS is one of the nastiest. It’s one thing…to reluctantly deal with him…[but] #Trump’s performance at the White House Tuesday was something else entirely: #weak, #crass & of no strategic benefit to US.
