A great thread on the problematic redesign of the British Newspaper Archive. It was done without any attention to what researchers need. Importantly, this can be considered the BNA frustrating access to historical sources. They didn't do this intentionally, but that's what has happened.
Andy Arthur💃🏰⚓🦌 Threadinburgh 🧵@threadinburgh.scot · last wk.There's been a user interface update on the British Newspaper Archive. Let it just be said, I'm not happy 😡 They've gone into the trap of moving well-established menus around and adding extra clicks in simple steps in the name of a slicker appearance, totally breaking muscle memory of regular users
The only good thing about the @britishlibrary.bsky.social British Newspaper Archive's new site... You have time to make a cup of tea while it's loading a page. Even in the age of AI-everything, I didn't imagine any site could be quite this bad.
The @britishlibrary.bsky.social British Newspaper Archive's new site is horrendous. Absolutely awful and so frustrating. I was in the middle of a project and all of my bookmarks just became utterly useless. It's excellent if you love buttons and clicking things a lot. Serious research? Forget it!
Sherds! There's a lot more riverbank at the moment... but not many sherds. It was a relief to find the one on the right (get it... relief). 😂🙄
It's been a while since we last went walkabout, and we picked the perfect day for it... Not boiling hot, with a nice cooling breeze (okay, wind). And Watersmeet has a couple of new bridges (one of them in photo 2). Very smart they are too.
Less than 35,000 signatures and Chris Packham no less petition.parliament.uk/petitions/76... Does it show Brits are either not aware or just don't care? In the case of the "green" BlueSkyers who see this petition regularly and don't sign or share 🤯☠️
Always this. "Protect our women and children from those people" is pure projection. The beast is the man in the mirror. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Please read this book. An essential American parable about how we sell our entire selves to the most charismatic of con men. I'll never forget the ending of this book, and deeply want to see a film audience grapple with it.

The hypocrisy of Farage pretending nostalgia for a time when state-ownership of public utilities was the norm and the very rich faced personal tax of 90%, corporation tax of over 45% all of which he abhors
The longer we allow grandpa to rage post to distract from the EPSTEIN Files, the more danger he creates for the safety & security of the world. Any doubt he would use nuclear weapons in a heartbeat if he thought it would benefit himself? I'm with Maj. Jason Watson: IMPEACH. CONVICT. REMOVE 🇺🇸
"On August 6th, Farage is going to have to actively prove to voters that he's better than a garage bin" US news are now making fun of Nigel Farage vs Count Binface in Clacton
Only one-fifth want the Reform UK leader to win.
Let's watch Farage and Reform have a complete meltdown!! Vote Count Binface if you're in Clacton. #NigelFarage #clacton #ClactionByElection #UKPolitics #countbinface #farage
He fell asleep in a meeting with Turkish President Erdogan, referred to Iran as the "Islamic Republic of Japan", TikTok as "Tic Tac", President Zelensky as "President Putin" & once again demanded the U.S. be given control of Greenland. He's much less dangerous while sleeping than when he's awake. 💤
In case you missed it, here's Count Binface's appearance on the BBC this morning.
The Green Party say they will not stand in the Clacton by-election either. Zack Polanski: "This is a desperate stunt from a desperate politician whose lifetime of grifting is finally catching up with him. Greens will play no part in his political circus"

While the Reform leader casts himself as the victim questions about his finances are unlikely to disappear
