As a child I remember reading about Duncan Campbell's rocket-propelled speedboat Bluebird - which crashed and sunk on Coniston Water trying to break the world speed limit in 1967, killing Campbell.
And for a while I was absolutely obsessed with it. I don't know why, but something about the story, the shape of the boat, even its name just lit up all the synapses in my 9/10 year old brain. I went to the local library and tried to find everything I could about the boat and Campbell.
Fast-forward to now and I haven't thought of that for nearly half a century. But I do know that a few years ago they found the wreckage of the boat and recovered it ... and now it's been out on Coniston Water for the very first time since it sunk. And I can feel 50-year-old synapses starting to fire again ...

I recommend #DuncanCampbell's article in #ComputerWeekly: more relevant than ever, in the middle of the #HomeOffice's war on end-to-end cryptography

ieri sera arriva questo giornalista inglese di razza, #DuncanCampbell, e su #ComputerWeekly rivela la nuova puntata della guerra alla crittografia end-to-end del ministero degli Interni di Sua Maestà

Great article on #mediabias by #journalist #DuncanCampbell about #TheNation and how they went all #Tankie #ProPutin after #Trump won in 2016.
Even more:
#ColumbiaJournalismReview commissioned the story and then killed it two days before publication. That's relevant because #CJR just published a truly awful piece arguing #Russiagate fake. @DavidCorn wrote about that.
Is CJR #biased?
