Daniel Bellingradt@dbellingradt.bsky.social · 3w agoAI companies scanning and shredding old and rare books is bad, but you should be aware that shredding new, old, and used books is an established practice of selling and marketing books. In fact, hundreds of millions of books are shredded every year discretly, and legally, in Europe alone. #booksky
I loved that book!

I liked that she wasn’t fussed about her antlers.” In Kirsty Logan’s story “Una & Coll are not Friends”, Una has antlers & Coll has a tiger’s tail.

My heart is heavy that we are making a collective miscalculation in undervaluing the humanities - from my FT piece www.ft.com/content/fbde...
I’ll be force feeding my piece down your throats bit by bit for the next few days. This is about why loss of research capability in universities isn’t just a linear bit of market forces but a messy process of universities sometimes doing panicky short term cuts
