In February, @404media.co did a piece on the overwhelming amount of AI Slop in public library vendor Hoopla Digital. They promised to clean up their platform, but just this morning I went looking and easily found a self-publishing house pushing shoddy health content by a fake author.

Anthony Denney lived there for a period as an NT tenant. Think this was how they presented it when it reopened. Not 100% clear from the NT website how much of it is retained in current set up

Rainham Hall is also fun. Can't help but think the location is a good reason they just let it to tenants (all be it interesting ones) for so long. I love the squat room at Sutton House

On this day where librarians consider the closing of Baker & Taylor, I would like to remind you that Sandy Berman still walks this earth and today is his birthday.

www.sanfordberman.org

Welcome to the Sanford Berman website devoted to the work of librarian Sanford Berman who created an innovative, radical and inclusive catalog which used terms we use when looking for information instead of the 19th century language of the Library of Congress Subject Headings. Berman worked for the Hennepin County library from 1973 until 1999. Sandy continues to create subject headings and works for political and social justice.

Was discussing this with @wiilassie.bsky.social I am one race and one gig into a three gig and two race 10 days. Throat now started tickling... Good luck - they had mentioned quite how many films were on the programme!

Meeting with colleagues based in Bury St Edmunds brings to mind an amazing cheese trolley I enjoyed there many moons ago. Delighted to find it pictured here and still going strong www.maisonbleue.co.uk/gallery/

I think someone else reported similar things. My browser won't let me on your site as it has "bad or invalid certificates"

AlanFricker @alanfricker.bsky.social · 4d

I am getting unhappy messages about certificates unfortunately

I used Brummagem the other day having not even thought of it for years (live elsewhere now). A picture had cropped up of when we spent a weeked at the Ackers with friends. Lovely people / hosts but probably the worst sub hostel accomodation we have ever used!
