The process of transcribing documents and doing that sort of deep work is essential to the process of scholarship. (I get that when you’re working with big datasets some sort of AI is helpful ofc).
But a hill I’ll die on is that transcribing, checking and sorting is essential to understanding.

Just learned that the number of 80+ countries opposing progress at #COP30 could have been due to a misreading of an Excel spreadsheet.
The real number might be only 30 or so, and mostly petrostates.

I remember years ago my son telling me he saw a mouse running along the corridor at school. I thought this was bad so of course I phoned the school to complain, because you’re not allowed to run in the corridors.

And nor should it. Farage is a dangerous racist and yet is being fast tracked into No.10 on a ruinous populist agenda, funded by shady right wing money and malign foreign interests.
People must know who and what they are voting for. That’s the very lowest bar in a democracy.
