This is madness, it's happening everywhere and most paper s already have abstracts. Ugh.

Photography and Ontology: Unsettling Images This edited collection explores the complex ways in which photography is used and interpreted: as a record of evidence, as a form of communication, as a means of social and political provocation, as a...

Also in terms of images as sources this is discussed in Photography & Onotology I think www.routledge.com/Photography-...

My memory is this is discussed in some way in 'The Allure of the Archives'

I would 100% eat this with a different kind of bun

Yes, Minister for Arts needs to be seen with a cheap beer at an artist run space opening at least once a month

‘I would hope governments to come will see the error of that & take it away. Labor has talked a lot about how bad it is, but hasn’t done anything about it.’

Gonski calls for some govt (🤔 how about the Albo Govt?) to dump Morrison’s noxious Jobs Ready Graduates scheme.

Spent hours yesterday trying to resolve different colour bands for satellite photos in QGIS to create and reflecting that this type of mapping is hard to just 'pick up now and then' as I just forget everything I know about the software.

To cover all the lawsuits against AI companies...?

My mum wore one these bonnets for her wedding in 1970

Very noble!

Ha, yes, I still have never signed up for it

This is the actually the biggest challenge in tech, not racing to be first or best, but gaining the confidence to say 'is it a good tool? If we gain this, what do we risk to lose'?

'Ask me about being disestablished!' (Actually please don't)

Also baffling to decide it doesn't need guard rails in the same week they introduce guard rails for social media. Anyway...

Still the implicit assumption that everyone can or will benefit, what about if it doesn't;t benefit, do we get to refuse it? Protect our work, culture, industries from it? Benefit from the big companies not getting tax breaks and funding?

Scathing ‘jobs for mates’ review finds appointments to government boards routinely abused A report by Lynelle Briggs says placements ‘look like nepotism’ and are undermining confidence in government

I've worked hard with all non-govt senators to secure release of the Briggs review.

Now it's clear why the Albanese Govt was hiding it for two years.

These were paper and relatively robust 19th/20th documents. Actually a bit hard to handle in gloves. I wasn't sure why, but I figured they had a reason, or as a big organisation there were blanket rules. I always just go along with the collection!

Also I have been in archives that have made me wear white gloves, not for a few years admittedly and I just went along with their rules...

This is the big issues with digital NTROs too, they can be super cool, but increasingly I categorise them more like an exhibition, short term, ephemeral, etc.

So sad, I never met him but really enjoyed/appreciate his writing and insights.

Fair! Those readers always look lovely.

I always feel warm on planes haha. I am the one in a t-shirt while everyone else is huddled under a blanket.

Zotero is pretty good on an iPad these days, I have started using it as my default way of reading pdfs as I get hopelessly distracted reading on my laptop

Yes and even less in history/humanities, such a challenge.
