Anyway, I guess it is good for us to take a step back from the big platforms when we can, sometimes. So I'm going to try leaning a bit more heavily on using mastodon for a while. Let's see how it works out.
While previous histories of the 1832 reform legislation have focused on WHO got the vote, Mapping the State instead focuses on WHERE people got it. Read this new #OpenAccess book, published with @RoyalHistSoc and @ihr_history for free from our website: uolpress.co.uk/book/mapping-t…
50 years ago today I joined the Diplomatic Service. On the first day we were given this booklet, which turned out to be rather alarming for someone whose experience of abroad was mainly backpacking. By para 2 of the Introduction it was clear that there were pitfalls everywhere! 1
before Wikipedia abolished spoiler-warnings, we had them on, in no particular order: a) The Three Little Pigs b) The Diary of Samuel Pepys c) Hamlet d) The Passion of the Christ (yes, the film)
apparently i’m a literature snob bc i don’t believe spoiler warnings are necessary when talking about 177y/o classic novels… what’s next? spoiler warnings for bible references??
My favourite anecdote from the brilliant @DPMcBride book Power Trip
EXC: Damian McBride is going to spad for Yvette Cooper at the Home Office. Will lead on fraud policy, which he had previously overseen in opposition, relations with Labour MPs and Cooper’s parliamentary operation. Joins media spad Jess Leigh and chief of staff Amy Richards
Really interesting from an information literacy perspective: people trust the same information more when it's "conversational" than when it's just straight written text.
Study participants perceived the same text as *less* credible when presented as a Wikipedia article than when encountering it as simulated ChatGPT or Alexa output
Meanwhile, at the other end of things, the first privatised service was ... possibly a rail replacement bus. Start as you mean to go on!
By my calculations, if they don’t change the timetables or throw in the towel first, Britain’s last privatised* train will be the 23:09 Birmingham New Street - Nottingham on 15 October 2027. Stick the date in your diary and join me for a M&S tinned whisky sour onboard.
We have election data! Full datasets with constituency and candidate-level vote shares, electorates, etc are now attached to our @commonslibrary briefing: commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-brief…
🧵Some thoughts on the 'most non-religious parliament' having watched all 600+ swearing-ins... - overall 40% affirmed, 60% swore an oath. Lab & LD split almost exactly along these lines, but only 9% of Tory MPs affirmed, suggesting it's about tradition as much as religiosity.
We are looking for people with experience in bibliometric analyses to participate in a Delphi study to develop a reporting guideline for bibliometric analysis, the Guidance List for the repOrting of Bibliometric AnaLyses (GLOBAL). 1/4
Reading Tony Blair's views on AI, I remember the story of how the PM who talked of the new high-tech economy only got a mobile phone after leaving Number 10, whereupon he texted Alastair Campbell: ''This is amazing! You can do words and everything''.
