The targeting of one data center is proving a really useful natural experiment showing which sites and ideologies are an echo chamber of Russian propaganda

Ukraine blows up Russian data centres and immediately and mysteriously online talk about Germany’s Far Right AfD virtually disappears. Stop Putin you stop the Far Right.

The Sacred Pools was a FMV game developed by SegaSoft. Posed as an erotic thriller, it apparently had a huge reveal party at E3 1996, though response to the game itself was poor. Here's a quick clip of the booth. archive.gamehistory.org/item/189ba87...

Fourth 11-hour day this week 🫥 I hate training people the entire day while I’m triaging things that pop up related to my job. But next week I’ll hopefully see the fruits of my labor Anyways here’s a 1768 German book arguing against the existence of apparitions and vampires

Maybe I’ll post some cool highlights she finds as she works 🧛‍♂️ 🩸 📖 One of my fav things is this wind-up bat released during the 3rd act of the 250th performance of the Dracula play at London's Prince of Wales' Theatre in 1927. The invited audience received special edition copies of Dracula's Guest!

My library has the most comprehensive Bram Stoker collection in the world, with over 4,000 items connected to Stoker, Dracula, and vampires. A large bulk of it is still unprocessed/uncataloged, but I’m really excited to have a new staff member working through it now! news.emory.edu/features/202...

In the 1860s, chess player Howard Staunton produced a photo-facsimile of Shakespeare's First Folio. It was one of the earliest attempts to use new technology to reproduce an old book. @folger.edu has Staunton’s proof sheets. I looked at them last week. If you like media/books/history, they're fun.

really tired of the genre of academic think-pieces/melancholia from people who have not worked as a GLAM professional in any real way who are horrified that some things get thrown away or repurposed, and that this is part of the natural cycle of material culture. Just trust us!

Librarians & archivists go to work every day and devote their time and energy to make things accessible and discoverable, today and for many, many days to come. If you see us at the dumpsters, mind your business! Nobody thinks more about the preservation of knowledge and the human record than we do.

The funny thing is that the media, including these outlets, has actually incredibly friendly to him given the horror, corruption, and ineptitude that is just flooding out of this administration every minute. Like, I haven’t seen real journalism from the Big Boys in a decade

I think everyone in academia who has worked as a PhD student or adjunct is used to your course taking more of your time than what is budgeted, but I don't think it's normal or legal to be paid as hourly only for the literal hours you are standing in the classroom, while still requiring office hours.
