Zenodot β€” Find book translations across languages Discover book translations across languages. A documentary tool for readers worldwide.

I spent 4 months trying to answer a simple question: has this book been translated into my language?
Turns out no one tracks this. Not ISBN registries. Not Amazon. Not Google. Not libraries.
So I built a tool that crosses four databases to piece it together.

Last night, we had an AMAZING night for two very important reasons:
1.) Councillor @sue-mallender.bsky.social gave a fantastic presentation on the important of Trade Unions, what they do for us, and how we use them to fight the Far-Right.
2.) The Nottingham Green Party has reached 2,000 members!

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics. It’s the root of all evil in Washington.

Scientists Discover Way To Reverse Chemical Process Linked With Alzheimer’s Disease By watching Alzheimer’s-related protein clumping unfold second by second, researchers have uncovered new clues about the role of metal ions.

This amazing scientific advance may one day lead to either more effective treatments or dare I say perhaps a cure.
This is why it is vitally important to fund basic scientific research.
