Big question for @yclbritain is - Do cagoules and bobble hats constitute a ‘political uniform’ and if so, what will grandad Alex say?

Wow, CILIP still exists, who knew… 🤷‍♂️

[Tom Roper @tomroper]

The sudden departure of CILIP's CEO remains unexplained, though he has been removed from the staff page on the website. https://t.co/y4Wo9D65Lg Is it too much to hope for to appoint a librarian CEO next time?

[Stanley Black @2stanleyblack]

@WorkersHammer @WorkersVanguard @Weekly_Worker Thanks, I think it’s a mistake not to include the discussion but understand if some participants are reluctant.

[Stanley Black @2stanleyblack]

@Beany_ Why not? Both great in their own ways 😀

[Stanley Black @2stanleyblack]

Yes @OCLC @oclcdevnet VIAF has gone from hero to zero in a matter of days 😞! Please sort it out.

[Alexander Huber @C18AH]

Dear @OCLC @oclcdevnet, could you please look into the /429 Too Many Requests/ errors produced by https://t.co/dG4lHjxD5N, which makes the site unusable. Thanks!

Salute to Geoff! Just think what he could have been 😞 Reading University’s gain was pop fans loss!

"Get a shovel - you lack nothing!" class anger in Valencia at the Queen. Royalty and politicians pelted with mud by the crowd as they attempted a photo op in Paiporta. Neighbours angry at avoidable deaths.

@wylie_alan is, as ever, on point in this thread. Local authorities are saving ‘face’ rather than libraries when they rely on volunteers & self appointed community ‘leaders’ 😞 I want a library that’s run by dedicated, PAID, staff with skills not some social ‘entrepreneurs’ 🤮

[Alan Wylie @wylie_alan]

Public Libraries are a statutory service.
Councils provide/fund them.
Library Workers are paid & trained to run them.
The 1964 Act makes no provision for alternatives such as volunteer-led etc.
Anyone who tells you otherwise is deluded, ignorant or lying.

Ah, another one of my first loves gone… 😞 The first two Iron Maiden LPs were, for me, gateway ‘drugs’ to more ‘extreme’ music and for that alone #Rippauldianno 🤟

[Iron Maiden @IronMaiden]

Monday 21st October 2024

We are all deeply saddened to learn about the passing of Paul Di'Anno earlier today. Paul's contribution to Iron Maiden was immense and helped set us on the path we have been travelling as a band for almost five decades. His pioneering presence as a frontman and vocalist, both on stage and on our first two albums, will be very fondly remembered not just by us, but by fans around the world.

“It’s just so sad he’s gone,” comments Steve Harris. “I was in touch with him only recently as we texted each other about West Ham and their ups and downs. At least he was still gigging until recently, it was something that kept him going, to be out there whenever he could. He will be missed by us all. Rest in peace mate ⚒⚒.”

We were very grateful to have had the chance to catch up a couple of years ago and to spend time with him once more. On behalf of the band, Rod and Andy, and the whole Iron Maiden team, we extend our deepest sympathies to Paul's family and close friends. Rest In Peace Paul.

He deserves so much more! Joe should/could have been kinder 😞

@londonleftcom Chairman Rat, sartorial elegance is unknown amongst the communist left. Caution, you will be ostracised unless you adopt the retired geography teacher ‘look’.

[Stanley Black @2stanleyblack]

@londonleftcom lol, at one point I had six cases of this title in my flat, I couldn’t move for them! I could have been a billionaire 🤣.

[Stanley Black @2stanleyblack]

Can someone explain this to me please! What’s Bordiga got to do with a Brazilian (nationality? Or, Personal grooming style?) and/or Allah? I have never felt so old… 😞

Our message is: abstain from capitalism’s election pantomimes, yes, but anyone who wants a viable future can’t abstain from the serious political fight. https://t.co/Fho9a2K8Di

An interesting evening down at the local youth club when an interplanetary entity suggests you could be kidnapped and taken to ‘outer space’ 😳
