This is the 1987 source of a famous Claude Shannon quote. The condensed quote that gets passed around is not the same in context or tone.

Also I did not know the great Omni magazine was published by Bob Guccione.

Going back to the quote, I would take the Terminator films view of the machines.

Ferenc Szálasi, fascist leader of Hungary’s Arrow Cross Party was hanged, ‘a large post with a rope attached to a hook at the top. …the noose placed around his neck, the rope tightened, and the steps removed.’

I would like to see the death penalty in the UK for fascists and traitors.

Yes, underage refers to children. To say underage children would be not meaningful. But to deal with the ‘issue’ over Giuffre’s status - because some people claim she was an adult in this country (legally that is correct)- in America she was legally underage. And she claimed Andrew met her in NY too

‘We’ll play some more soon.‘

Was Andrew meaning:

A) Polo
B) Bridge
C) Him and Jeffrey wanking each other off
D) Raping underage females?

When the undertaxed rich are faced with a slight increase, the word ‘soaking’ is always used by right wing papers.

A more accurate headline would replace ‘soaking‘ with ‘requiring a fairer contribution from’.

It would also the word ‘cunts’ after rich.

I’m sorry to hear this. Hope you get better soon.

I had similar experience a couple of weeks ago picking up what I’m sure was Covid. But likewise found I was less sick than previous bouts during the golden years of covid

Yes you’re right - they do at least have some features with non-white artists. it’s just their cover focus is racist - and frankly stupid - I’m sure people get bored with Beatles / Springsteen / Dylan etc covers

hey @mojomagazine.bsky.social I see the cover of your latest references Prince and Miles Davis but Lennon is on the cover.

About 99% of your covers have white musicians on, (usually male). Is it that you think your readers won’t buy MOJO if you have non-white artists on the cover?
