Google Scholar Is Doomed
Academia built entire careers on a free Google service with zero guarantees. What could go wrong?

Since search is dead, how soon do you think Google Scholar is headed for the Google Graveyard? I'm betting it's soon, and academia is NOT prepared

Every time someone’s like “put that in the louvre,” my head now goes “and then steal it from the louvre, the security password is louvre”

"Does pineapple belong on pizza?" Why are you asking like that. You could put anything on a pizza and legally it would "belong" there. What are you, a cop?

Today marks 50 years since the most outrageous event in Australia's democracy. They "maintained the rage" and we are beneficiaries of that.
Yet, for a time in 1975, Australian democracy appeared a fragile thing. It proved robust in the end – thanks in large part to the creativity of ordinary Australians who agitated for their country’s democratic culture, system and institutions.
In a world with democracy in decline, we have much to learn from those who rallied against Whitlam’s dismissal | Frank Bongiorno and James Watson
In 1975, few Australians believed the dismissal of a democratically elected government was business as usual

Peter Jackson insisted on a specific breed of sheep for The Shire scenes because he didn't want modern looking sheep messing up Middle Earth. And he was right to do so!
Pippa Durham, 38, was looking forward to a new six-part series billed as a bodice-ripping retelling of the Dissolution of the Monasteries. However, she spotted a 20th-century doorknob in the background of one of the shots and has been livid ever since.

Currently doing some marking. A reminder to everyone involved in archives and collections: digitisation is not preservation. If I digitise a box of records and put the files on a USB stick I haven't preserved a thing. It's all about what you do with the files post-digitisation. #archives #digipres

I'm seeing more detached replies around here (either as ghost replies that you can't see, or replies that don't link back to the post if you try to follow the chain). It happens with bots, but I also wonder if it's bluesky tinkering with their algorithm

i don’t think the main problem with the american church is “too many of them refuse to be scammed by a lady who is obviously lying.”
There is a lady on TikTok pretending to have a baby that has gone without formula all night — she is calling churches around the country to ask if they can help.
Some of them are really embarrassing themselves. Especially the mega-churches.

John Laws is dead, so as well as remembering him for outrageous on-air statements and the cash-for-comment affair, let me take this opportunity to remind everyone that in 1976 he released an album of country music covers called You've Never Been Trucked Like This Before
It reached 69 on the charts

I made a “how do you do, fellow kids?” joke to someone in their mid 20s who, it turns out, was too young to have heard of that meme.
So “how do you do, fellow kids?” is now an example of “how do you do, fellow kids?”

Your new album is called Seventy. You are 70 years old. And I hear you like the number 70.
It’s a biblical number. It’s a very pleasing number to me. I like the sound of it. Turning 70 feels like a real marker. I wouldn’t say it’s an achievement, but I must have had my fair share of luck to reach 70. I was pretty reckless and I took risks – so I feel lucky to reach 70. Everything else after this is just extra. Continue reading...
