@agoldst.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy![SHOULD BOOKS AND MAGAZINES BE SOLD WITH THE EDGES CUT? [letter to the editor]: SIR, In this utilitarian age it seems childish and ridiculous to defend a custom merely for reasons of sentiment. Nevertheless I hope you will allow me t put in a word in defence of uncut edges.... Is not the soothing and elegant occupation of cutting open the leaves of a book an excellent preparation for its enjoyment? [etc etc] Yours faithfully, AUSTIN H. JOHNSON, Chelsea, Oct. 8, 1898.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_fullsize/plain/did:plc:g4so7dgalt7gthxbis6a6rbu/bafkreiaelxbg4pqlokohgiawj3d55yfdrhuonhps5z77tq3xgjurfrsu5i@png)

@nevyn8.bsky.socialWhy don't we start with the politicians who are clearly more interested in data centres, than in the people they are meant to serve.

@janienesbittjones.bsky.social9/10/1977: Convicted murderer Hamida Djandoubi became the last person executed by the guillotine in France & the Western world. In September 1981, France outlawed capital punishment altogether. There is a museum dedicated to the guillotine in Liden, Sweden. #executions #guillotine #truecrime
