ockviewer.bsky.social @ockviewer.bsky.social · 03/05/2026In his essay the Moon under Water George Orwell describes his perfect pub. I think mine would have - no music - no TVs showing sport or news - customer not using their phones and enjoying the company of others - a fossil museum And surprisingly I think I’ve found it the Square & Compass 101 0

ockviewer.bsky.social @ockviewer.bsky.social · 20/03/2026Thanks for an excellent talk - a question which I only formulated afterwards- how would discourage provincial museums with limited budgets from using AI illustrations in their palaeontology displays ? 120 0

ockviewer.bsky.social @ockviewer.bsky.social · 09/11/2025The ‘Fixing our broken planet’ exhibition at @nhm-london.bsky.social is depressing, yet fascinating. But it also makes me wonder if the museum has plans to reduce the amount of plastic sold in its multiple gift shops? 000 0
ockviewer.bsky.social @ockviewer.bsky.social · 05/10/2025A reason to be optimistic in these bleak times? Greenham Common - once an airfield for nuclear bombers is now a nature reserve with orchids, adders and nightjars; the nuclear bunkers are now used for Star Wars films and the watchtower is now a splendid cafe. 010 0
