“London Eye” — Looking upwards at the London Eye on a cloudy day.

I usually have a good sense of direction, and I can often navigate without maps. But I also have an occasional directional problem. When arriving in a new place I sometimes make an incorrect assumption about the compass directions. Once I do, it is darned near impossible for me to fix it. London is one of the places. For some reason, the first time I visited I reversed north and south, and I’ve struggled since then to get it right. I’ve gotten a lot better — when I look north across the River Thames these days it looks like it is north. But this photograph came about due to the residue of my prior confusion…continues: gdanmitchell.com/2024/09/06/lo…

No! If there's one Rep. who needs to be gone, it's LAUREN BOEBERT!

"The open seat in Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District also moved from “lean” to “likely” Republican. Conservative firebrand Rep. Lauren Boebert (R), who holds the seat, is running this cycle for Colorado’s 4th Congressional District instead."

I may not have as much talent (yet?) as the rest of the #BandcampFriday folks, so definitely go support them, but I did recently upload my first song on the site, which you can download for free.

@PublicWolf You're too kind! I only started making music about three years ago, and still have plenty to learn. But it's been fun!

Are there other studies about how many journals are requiring data? I came across this one from 2020 (2017) data, but I'm wondering if there are any other studies / metrics available...

(I made this slide based on the finding, and thus my uni's red theme 😂)

The Open Access Tracking Project (#oatp, @oatp) tracks these with the tag "oa.policies.journals.data". So far we've found 200 (examples and discussions), but there must be more.

4+ years ago the #OpenAccessDirectory started a list of them. But it's still under development and needs volunteers to beef it up, for example, from the OATP.

There's no template for these kinds of policies. Someone would have to review and compare them to see trends in the kinds of data they do and don't cover — somewhat like the 2020 article at the top of this thread.
