This is just horrific. I feel sick.

Standing ovation for @MichaelRosenYes at @CILIPHLG conference. Such an inspiring advocate of the NHS, reading and libraries. #hlg2024

[Brian Cox @ProfBrianCox]

Honestly - a few of the replies to this little tribute to engineering excellence exhibit a level of stupidity that suggests to me that it won’t be long before our spacecraft are the only thing that remains of our increasingly dim-witted civilisation. Until recently my guess has been that the answer to the Fermi Paradox might be found in biology - complex biological systems are rare. I’m increasingly of the view that the reason for The Great Silence is that civilisations are inevitably crushed by the weight of nobheads shortly after inventing the internet.

@ld_morris 🥺

@ld_morris That’s great news, just take it easy! And, erm, I was asking about the duckling?…

[LILAC Conference @LILAC_conf]

If you’ve been inspired by #LILAC24 & you’re planning your own project or research, or if you’re one of our amazing presenters, you should also think about writing for publication. Take a look at the @JInfoLit & @CommInfoLit for advice & information.

The VC of Leeds Beckett Professor Peter Slee welcoming us to #LILAC24 - always great to see a VC understanding the importance of IL (and librarians) - “the most important conference we’ll have here this year”

@SlugInkPress This annoys me beyond belief too!

[Maria José Simões @MariaJSimoes]

@heidipearljames Yes, very lazy argument; certainly no excuse. And offensive to people like your Grandfather.

[Maria José Simões @MariaJSimoes]

@KudzaiMakamba One day! 🍀

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

I have just warned global leaders at #COP27:

We are on a highway to climate hell with our foot on the accelerator.

Our planet is fast approaching tipping points that will make climate chaos irreversible.

We need urgent #ClimateAction.

[Maria José Simões @MariaJSimoes]

@heidipearljames I hope you’re OK! ❤️

[Maria José Simões @MariaJSimoes]

@pennygcole I have a brother, and I still missed out on that ‘sibling relationship’.

[Maria José Simões @MariaJSimoes]

@heidipearljames So much love your way. 💔

[Royal Society of Literature @RSLiterature]

‘...brass bands; barrel organs; in the triumph and the jingle and the strange high singing of some aeroplane overhead was what she loved; life; London; this moment of June.’

Happy #DallowayDay! 🎉
