Re-listening to Daft Punk, transported back to being 16 years old listening to Discovery on a portable CD player on the number 9 to Stourbridge, thinking 'this isn't rock and roll'

Why do everyday people love Facebook but anyone who knows about how social media works thinks it's destroying society

London Museum basically did the same thing but were a lot more careful about it (fully recognising the Living Museum was an experiment, not a funded in-house thing).

Also I'm screenshotted! <3

What I Learned Going Viral On Museum Twitter | Jonathan Talmi

The person who built the Living Museum (the BM chatbot) has reflected on the feedback (h/t Ash Mann).

I get the argument that it gives audiences more agency and it was just a proof-of-concept, but it's the job of curators/educators to also respect the material.

I think they aired it out (and also cut it into three sections because they didn't have the money to move the whole thing)

There is a LITERAL UBOAT in BIRKENHEAD that's reopening this year.

National Galleries Scotland just go straight for the jugular, like Braveheart whipping his sword from behind his back. Here's the sign-up. Do it or don't do it. Who gives a fuck.

They do follow up with another para but I like this way of phrasing it: "As a charity, we may also send occasional requests for your support."

The RA is predictably good: "Be among the first to hear about our upcoming ticket releases as well as the latest exhibition tours, interviews and more to enjoy from home."

The more days go past the more Ozzy's death has stuck with me. Interrogating it, I think it's the fact he and Sabbath were kids from Aston that made it, and were visible and respected. When you think about Brum and the Black Country there's very few out there like that.
