This is a good note to end the week. The plight of @britishlibrary.bsky.social has been picked up in @nature.com’s influential daily briefing. Thanks everyone (including @floragraham.bsky.social)

Don't ignore the crisis at the British Library In 2023, one of the world's most significant libraries was hit with a cyber attack that destroyed multiple systems, requiring that its entire technology infrastructure be rebuilt and costing millions. Staff at the British Library say that the attack undermined the working environment, and more than 300 are on strike. The Library's chief executive has resigned, less than a year after she took the position. And some material is still not available to scholars. "Libraries and archives are the labs of humanities and social science scholars, and history is not possible without them," argues Hetan Shah, the chief executive of The British Academy. "The nation rightly values scientific infrastructure, but it pays extraordinarily little attention to what is happening at our national library." Museums Journal | 3 min read & City AM | 4 min read

Aha!! That would figure. I'd not linked any other records for him at that point, and yes he would have been that!

Thanks both!

I know it's not the point of the post, but what is "extreme left" these days? American media seems to think a social democrat is extreme.
