Me in the early 00s: nothing could be worse than cataloging CDRs
Me 20ish years later: oh God I had to catalog CDRs please don't make me catalog born digital items.
Me currently: heads up, when it comes to cataloging AI I have seniority and I will not do it. BTW, when can I retire?

I told my students today that 4’33” was one of a kind, and there was no point in anyone doing it again. Immediately proven wrong.

Maybe telling Black people to stay the fuck out your stores was a bad idea?
And maybe doing everything under the sun EXCEPT fixing that part isn’t going to work!

All right ladies (and those who support them and care) time to convene a panel to bring back castration for ALL men and boys who rape!!!!!!
This all-male panel is deciding whether South Carolina women can be charged with murder for their pregnancies — and whether birth control and pro-choice websites stay legal.
This a real thing happening today. Don't look away.

The only ethical way to use AI for research and all other work is to not use it in the first place. It can only do what people already do and even then it is only a poor facsimile of human endeavor

I’ve written a piece on the curious lack of media and political interest in the issues faced by our national @britishlibrary.bsky.social. This is strange given we live in a world where ideas, knowledge and research are a long-term source of innovation and insight

The British library is in crisis: why does nobody care?
The widespread indifference to the British Library's crippling cyberattack demonstrates a perilous failure to value the knowledge infrastructure vital for national prosperity
