still in the process of submitting, but I imagine there will (in due course) be a *really* interesting talk about the nuances of applying for such an award in a library which has a large majority of female staff - puts an interesting nuance on things #LibPMC2025

Really interesting findings from @qualitydog.bsky.social about use of digital book use. Rigour of research gave great credibility to their findings #LibPMC2025

Takeaway from keynote #LibPMC2025 is that citizen science is a lot broader than I imagined

God knows I complain about the weather (a lot) but the last 4 weeks have been pretty good. (This is high calibre content right here!)

The MAGA movement will not be shamed by pointing out the basic features of a liberal pluralist democracy. They don't believe in any of it. They see it as a weakness, something that merely holds them back or slows their efforts to reshape their world.

I studied the Nazis at university, taught the history of Nazi Germany on two continents and wrote for major newspapers about Nazi Germany. I am internet famous for fact- checking chuds on the history, ideology and policy of Nazi Germany. That was a Nazi salute.

I want to say this again: Fall and Winter 2016 was a terrible time for authors with new books. Books just vanished into the Trump news cycle maw. Please consider buying some Fall and Winter 2024 books so we (including me) can keep writing. Here's a list of authors with books to consider:

My name is Bernard and I live in Ireland. I have stage 4 gastric cancer. Based on the best scientific and clinical evidence, my consultants recommend Immunotherapy and chemotherapy. However my healthcare insurer refuses to cover immunotherapy. Am I alone? Are you in the same situation?

20 years ago today, Ronald D. Moore’s “reimagining” of BATTLESTAR GALACTICA premiered. It was (and is) some of the most powerful genre TV I’ve ever seen. And the Adama “atmo-jump” maneuver in Season 3 remains an all-time television thrill. A legit classic series.

Every time I hear the business news on morning Ireland I wonder why we can’t have a three minute Arts update before or after. Imagine the potential impact: shows opening this week, books being published, what’s in cinemas. Read a poem! It might… bring joy? And support thousands of jobs and the like

I have one professional talent as a librarian who works in management; I can write quickly and well, synthesising into comprehensible prose. Now, thanks to AI, the ONE THING I could do, has become redundant! thanks Skynet!!!😄
