Great start to #KnowledgeIsHuman by Jimmy Wales: open knowledge is essential infrastructure. Every layer of knowledge in ecosystem is grounded in human effort - creating; sharing; synthesising; remixing; reusing. GLAMs, BBC, Wikimedia and us - we can all contribute

We watched the #EngEsp #Euros final in a pub in Brecon, south Wales, and even the locals cheered when England won! (The gargoyles on a local church represent the mood when it went to penalties)

One final slide, as the connections between @roopikarisam.bsky.social 's talk and @lavaeolus.fedihum.org.ap.brid.gy presentation on @safeguardingdata.bsky.social for @bldigischol.bsky.social earlier this week are both powerful visions about working towards the future we want

I really enjoyed Elektra at the Duke of York's Theatre tonight. A lot more experimental than I expected for a West End show. Love that it divided the critics, too www.westendtheatre.com/274068/news/...

Thank you everyone who boosted or made suggestions! Porte de Hal was an excellent call. I have frites, wit bier and a view of a 'castle' and a park to kill further time in before my Eurostar from Brussels Midi/Zuid

I don't know if the 'TED talk' bit is an intentional or an unintentional burn, but I did the Bluesky roast thing
