Sick and tired of trying to make people understand that UK universities have never had less money to teach students with, in real terms, than they do now.

“This is bad, full stop. It creates a class of person who are forever excluded from civic life no matter how long they live here. It’s also a clear breach of the refugee convention.” Damn straigt, @colinyeo.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Very concerning use of "diverse" being matched with "challenges" here. It is clear that the pre 92 institutions that swallowed up post 92 students were ill prepared and often left students to sink or swim.

This is a national scandal. When will the government wake up and realise they are presiding over the rapid implosion of the UK's world-renowned university sector?

A long thread of people in the UK sharing how to get access to library-type historical databases in cafes at no cost. Via "_The Cloud" (brand name) and elsewhere. Even actual libraries. 😉 I wonder if someone hasn't gathered all of this knowledge somewhere?

This is both an incredibly niche thing but I think it should be more of a thing. Caffè Nero subscribes to the British Newspaper Archive so it’s all free on their wifi. There. I said it.

This is rightly identified as a problem, but could go one of several ways. Having spent much of the last five years trying to get hold of British newspaper data that can be used, released and shared alongside research, I'm curious to see what 'copyright-cleared' looks like in practice.

Lovely example of how weird real-world data is. I put all 55 million points in Overture maps into a Nomic Atlas map. Lots of points spuriously appearing in the ocean. But the 1° square around 'null island' (0° lat, 0° long) is suspiciously clear -- someone has cleared out bad data just there.

Some good #DigitalHistory infrastructure news: After the Bodleian took down their British Book Trade Index interface, they made the data available under an #OpenAccess license; the Grub Street Project has now put it back online: bbti.grubstreetproject.net/index.php #History #BookHistory 🗃️

Researchers spend approximately 45% of their time on administrative activities related to #grants rather than actual #research. The current #competition in research #funding has significant drawbacks; evidence-based improvements of the funding system are required: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
