Happy New Year, I hope it is good for you, though looking at the news these days I am not so sure. The festive period is always billed as the most wonderful time of the year and yes, it is lovely to have some time off from the grinding mill, to spend time with family and friends. It can also be hard work, with all the present buying, the food cooking and generally being nice to people you long ago decided to live apart from.

This is perfect. The DOJ's embarrassing snafu with disappearing redactions was the fault of Elon Musk. Musk cancelled government subscriptions to Adobe programs that would have made the redactions permanent. What a pack of fools.
