Henry Badowski - "My Face" [England, New Wave](1982) The whole album Life Is A Grand is prolly the best forgotten new wave record of the whole period. Recently reissued for the first time in 40-plus years. A true gem.

(1) In my experience, when data management doesn't happen until the end of a project, about 80% of DM is detective work (what are these values, why is data missing, how do we handle this messy data)?

This way of working is tedious, often frustrating, and can lead to lost or misunderstood data.

Listening now: so far in the first 1.25 episodes they’ve thrown shade at former mayor Steve Reed’s lame brained Wild West museum & coroner Graham Hetrick’s sham TV show 🍿🤣

April Fool's day.

Remember that sense of suspicion we feel today, how critical we are about everything everyone is telling you, how we fact check even the big accounts we normally blindly believe and retweet.

We should do do this more often ;)

Haven’t listened to this album in years but looking at the artwork reminded me that back in the day we had to cover our textbooks in brown paper bags so I colored this design onto one of them to make it look less drab #nostalgia

The library and the post office are the only two systems we have that circulate things widely and to everyone, no matter who they are or what they believe. The library is the only one that, for now, is not forced to pay for itself at point of sale. Attacks on IMLS are attacks on every one of us.

Since the president has signed an EO making English the official language of the United States, here is the first non-English copy of the Declaration of Independence, printed in German just days after July 4, 1776. We have always been multilingual.

Today is International Day for Women and Girls in Science. Given the massive onslaught on DEI initiatives in the US right now, this day feels incredibly important to make a note of.

Science is improved by diversity, and diversity does not happen on its own.

They need to split the difference & hand leadership of the House Oversight Committee to any random 50yo Gen Xer. I swear our generation has been robbed by these geriatrics that refuse to retire & millennials jumping into the roles when those boomers eventually die.
