Printle: A Printing Word Game from Metal Type


Dave Hughes

On the day that space billionaire Elon Musk buys Twitter to defend free speech, here's Dan Wood's take (a.k.a The Linotypist).

Whether you agree with Sarah Kendzior or not, there's something strangely satisfying and nostalgic about seeing a tweet produced on a Linotype machine!

Another good one from Dan today. I don't know who Trevor Noah is but it sounds like he hit the nail on the head in front of an audience of journalists.

How they are able to look themselves in the mirror after acting as "personal stenographers" for the politicians in the run-up to the Iraq war amazes me. Remember all that "Weapons of Mass Destruction" guff?
