5 million of them are about research

Shame because it's such a banger, one of my faves

And their freak imperialism over random countries too. I recently tried to help someone at work print some Philippines legal docs that needed to be in US-Letter. I had to tell them it was impossible, and scaled them to fit A4 and hoped they would be acceptable.

A4 is a human right!

OH, and my best friend from primary school! No idea if her parents still live there or are using the number

I think every time google maps has taken me to a busy right turn with no lights I've just said no thanks and just turned left instead. I'd rather get lost!

While Twitter might still drive policy in the US, it doesn't in Australia. But neither's Bluesky or LinkedIn.

We've lost a social platform that drives discourse, brings new thinkers to public prominance and connects policymakers and journalists with people with ideas outside our stale institutions.

Library conference paper bingo card

Json? You misspelled Jason. Anyway I haven't seen him

H from Steps was incredibly prescient when he dubbed himself "H from Steps".

Cleaning tip: to avoid getting overwhelmed, focus on decluttering just one room a week until you die

Love turning on notifications for my favourite posters because it makes it feel like they're posting just for me
