LZH1 is a splattery #typeface designed by #LizabethBrenner. Letraset competitor #Chartpak selected it as a winner in their 1986 competition and produced it for dry transfer lettering.

Starting in 1989, it was used by hardcore punk band #Integrity. Rafael Nascimento documented this long-time Use:

A 19yo French man who attempted to "bullet climb" Mt. Fuji (climbing overnight w/o resting) had to be rescued. Shizuoka Prefecture requires overnight Fuji climbers to rent huts; the man & his brother booked one, but broke the rules with a 10pm night climb.

The next iPad Pro might add a new camera.

In Mark Gurman’s Power On newsletter for Bloomberg, he notes that iOS 26’s public beta is expected next week, and a possible tweak for upcoming M5-powered iPad Pros..

"Trump's conspiratorial base are hugely and reliably animated by stories about impunity for elite sex predators. As well they should be! Elite sex predators get away with all kinds of crimes -- not just Epstein, but the whole universe of powerful men, from Harvey Weinstein to Donald Trump, who systematically abused women for decades and got away with it -- bragged about it, even!

"But despite these very real abusers, the conspiracists in the Trump base are mostly concerned with _imaginary_ abusers -- Qanon's shadowy cabal of adrenochrome-guzzling pedophiles, tirelessly freighting trafficked children from one nonexistent pizza parlor basement to the next, packed inside of very mid Wayfair home furnishings.… "
