Great blog post! "OpenEvidence: Smart Medicine or Smart Marketing?" kraftylibrarian.com/openevidence... If there is any tool that locks out librarians, I'm immediately skeptical! What are you hiding, OpenEvidence?! #medlibs #canmedlibs

Sometimes when there's not a class on, I go into the empty gym studio and re-rack all the body pump plates because I can't bear seeing them all mixed up on the wrong holders.

Earlier this week I spoke to London Centric about the Ringways Map and all things unbuilt London - they’ve dedicated the whole of their latest edition to the story! substack.com/home/post/p-...
Would your home have been under a motorway?

I was just leafing through 1725 occult tome The Secret Magic of Abramelin the Mage in search of scary invocations for the BOOK, and I came across this list of subordinate spirits to the princes of Hell.

Automattic has been working with the Internet Archive to develop a plugin to combat link rot, and it's a plugin I'd encourage you to install. As the plugin says: When a linked page disappears, the plugin helps preserve your user experience by redirecting visitors to a reliable archived version. It also works proactively by archiving your own posts every time they’re updated, creating a consistent backup of your content’s history. I've been doing this manually on my old archives, fixing broken links and tending the garden. But we can make it all automatic. 🙂
