I’ve met loads of really great people who turned out to be irl friends eventually.
Got invited to give talks at universities around the world, and invited to give book chapters etc
I’m a disabled academic and cant travel to conferences for networking and it’s a huge boon for me.

So very different to reproducibility in hypothesis driven research.

I was thinking about this at one point in OA and the Humanities. "Reproducibility" of close readings seems to consist of readings falling within certain acceptable standards - eg factually accurate re texts and persuasively historicised. But more than one can do so. And all very subjective.

'It is not easy and never has been to show how one person might reproducibly read a sonnet of Shakespeare. Indeed to some extent the fact that we are still reading and rereading suggests that some art cannot be read reproducibly precisely because it is itself not reducible to a single reading.'

In 1996, Brewster Kahle wrote "Preserving the Internet" for Scientific American. Nearly 30 years later, it’s striking how many of his predictions about digital preservation came true—and how many challenges remain.

Let’s compare 1996 vs 2025 🧵

If you, like me, sometimes need to generate thousands of clipping images from Chronicling America, then you may find this post helpful.

It provides my pipeline (code and explanatory text) for programmatically generating newspaper clipping images via the Chronicling America API.

Well, there's no cure for BK virus right now, but he was saying that there have been major, speedily developed advances in virology recently. There's no point rushing anything - it takes a long time to find a kidney donor who is compatible - but it just raised the future possibility.

Curious discussion with pain team today. The consultant sorted my pain management, then pulled me aside (telephonically) to tell me about advances in curing viruses using mRNA technologies. This is significant because it's a virus that blocks my access to transplant. Kind of him to offer such hope.

“92-year-old Lord Heseltine is out of touch and deeply offensive to millions of voters.”

A Reform UK spokesperson responds to Lord Heseltine who described Reform and other parties across Europe today as among the 'right wing equivalents of the fascists in the 1930s'.

I wrote an undergrad diss on Pynchon, an MA thesis on Pynchon, a PhD on Pynchon, and a book on Pynchon & I endorse this sentiment

"Pynchon’s work is often labeled “Postmodernism,” but it’s also interpretable as a body of left historical literature concerning antifascism"

Martinis told our reporter that his wife had gotten the news in the middle of the night — in California time — but decided not to wake him up quite yet.

This makes me so angry. These people view all life as training for lifelong servitude/work. There's no room for interest, enjoyment, and culture in their bleak vision of education. At least she'll never be in power to see it through. Though Reform are probably worse.

Interdisciplinarity is fun because it’s something job ads in humanities HE say they want but it often feels like it actively disqualifies you (in the sense of having degrees in, and published in leading journals of, multiple distinct disciplines). Everyone believes you’re not in their discipline.

You know who doesn't integrate? People like Robert Jenrick. You think he works out at the local leisure centre? Goes to the Tuesday night pub quiz? You think his golf club lets anyone play? Or his private members' clubs let anyone in? He puts the ick in prick
