At last! This is apparently the first UK exhibition of Tove Jansson's illustration work (which seems difficult to believe): on at the Quentin Blake Centre for Illustration in London, 21 November 2026 to 9 May 2027. qbcentre.org.uk/exhibitions/... #art #illustration #mustsee #moomins

I have been telling colleagues all year how good the EUsurvey tool is. It's a great piece of kit - but now it seems that they are removing access unless you're working for an EU institution or agency. Pretty gutted, TBH. Has anybody got suggestions for another quality survey tool based in Europe?
Panel which reads: "EUsurvey is progressively transitioning towards EU institutional use. From 31 August 2026 external users who are not collaborating with an EU institution, body, office or agency (EUIBA) will no longer be able to create new surveys themselves in EUsurvey. Survey creation must be performed by EU users."

📢 Once more for the people in the back: - Most [more than 95%] of archives have not been digitized. - Most of humanity's knowledge and memory is *not* reachable by LLMs. - Believing that AI can provid you with comprehensive, definitive, "intelligent" results is folly.

The rise of larger vehicles like SUVs and pickup trucks, with their taller hoods and larger blind zones, has contributed to a 75% increase in pedestrian and cyclist deaths since 2009. Until we design better streets and ban these vehicles, people outside these vehicles will keep dying.
