Up early this Sunday to attend the #ASIS&T conference in DC. Going to be chatting about public data in open infrastructure and the @datarescueproject.org
Looking forward to it but need so much coffee.

Post-truth, post integrity, post trust in the bureaucratic process to leverage expertise and policy.
When I think about how exquisitely careful NEH staff were to be fair, impartial, and rigorous, and how much work people put into grants so small they’re pocket change…I just want to scream.

The absolute legend
Happy Birthday to the one & only Bonnie Raitt, the only interviewee who has ever cried tears of joy – & disbelief – when I told her what her music has meant to me over the years. Genuinely one of the most humble & altruistic people I’ve ever had the privilege to profile:
‘I’m living for the ones who didn’t make it’: Bonnie Raitt on her unquenchable thirst for music
As she wins a lifetime achievement Grammy at 72, the US singer who crossed blues with pop is still determined to support artists who never got their dues
