If I am reading this correctly, Northern Ireland police, who just received compensation of £7,500 per officer for having their personal details published in error on the internet, were revictimized today when the Northern Ireland court system again published their personal details.

I do so love this idea of using manual #typewriters as a way for students to understand life before our computers (and before #AI ) -

Nicht vergessen: morgen beginnt der FAIR February mit einer Paneldiskussion zum Thema Nachnutzung von Forschungsdaten in digitalen Editionen. 📚👾📖
Am 18.02. folgt dann eine Sitzung (die ich mit hoste 👋) zum Thema Vernetzung (von Forschungsdaten). 🌐🪡🧵💾
Wie überschneiden sich FAIR und LOD? Und wie sieht das in Hinblick auf Forschungsdaten aus? Für mich aktuell recht relevant: BEACONs. Was ist der Status quo und was geht da noch?

on Feb. 3, 2023,
the Norfolk Southern train derailment and chemical disaster
—one of the worst industrial disasters in US history
—took place in the small town of
East Palestine, Ohio.
Since that fateful day,
residents have been exploited and abandoned by Norfolk Southern,
the government,
opportunistic politicians,
sensationalist media outlets,
and self-serving attorneys
-- but we haven’t forgotten them.
