Happy 55th Birthday, Project Gutenberg! Let's celebrate!π
Project Gutenberg was founded on July 4, 1971, when Michael Hart typed the U.S. Declaration of Independence into an early internet-connected computer and shared it with friends, making it the first digital text β though its official posting date is recorded as December 1, 1971. (And happy 250th, USA.)

www.gutenberg.org@gutenberg_org there is nothing special about today, America is a husk of what it should be. Criminals, fraudsters, and pedos run this country barely hanging on. There is nothing to celebrate today.

Happy 250th?
We didn't make it to 250 as a surviving democracy nor a constitutional republic.
