Irrefutable proof that the Premier League trophy is coming to @arsenalfc.bsky.social this time. I am sure @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social is also rooting for this outcome.

There are so many reasons to like what @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social has achieved in NYC but I love that he is an @arsenalfc.bsky.social fan. I am sure β€œOur time is now” is valid for both NYC and Arsenal this time!!

Imagining the Future Library In an algorithmic economy, our understanding of knowledge is changing. Libraries must change too.

I have been thinking a lot about what the future of libraries could be in an algorithmic economy. A real pleasure to share these thoughts and provocations through the fantastic Katina Magazine. Let me know what you think?

That #CheLiv game was brilliant today. Absolute hunger shown by #Chelsea and very well deserved win for them as a consequence.

Dune, one of my favourite books and I need to go back to the soundtrack. I haven't listened to Man of Steel soundtrack for some time now so definitely adding to my list. Thanks for sharing.

I recognise that you will have your own taste but the soundtracks of Tron Legacy and Interstellar are two of the best movie soundtracks I have ever heard. Any other great soundtracks you can think of?

Over 18M people in the UK suffer from Hayfever including me. Why haven't we yet found a cure for it! I do wonder whether this is an area of focus for medical research and research funding, as it is not life threatening. It is highly debilitating though in my view. #hayfever

12 official languages in South Africa, 32 regional languages in India. This has huge impact on collection strategy and AI models data. This is the perspective that makes me think how we can often think too simplistically about global knowledge system but in reality so much nuance is needed #LKFS2025
