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
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

Ghost window: a spectral trace in brick and flint. Every now and then I come across a scene that is utterly beautiful but not intended to be so...here at St. Lawrence, Beeston St. Lawrence, Norfolk.

Woodcut image of a pedestal with two statue feet on top, cut off by the border and implying there is more above. Text suggests it is or looks like a statue dreamed of by Nebuchadnezzar with iron legs and feet of clay.
Statuesque?
Prophetic Legs dreamed of by Nebuchadnezzar in the Book of Daniel. #WyrdWednesday #WoodcutWednesday

I used to watch Terra X every sunday as a kid, so it was a real pleasure to join an episode of this ZDF documentary series as an expert. A fascinating dive into the hidden histories of Venice—on very (very) popular ground. Watch my sixty seconds in three bits here: www.zdf.de/play/dokus/t...

MAYBE it would be a good idea for our national library to actually buy hard copies of books to, you know, preserve them and make them accessible to researchers for decades to come
