When the mRNA Covid vaccine came out, those of us involved in teaching and science communication sat round thinking how to explain it simply to the general public. Then @hotvickkrishna did it brilliantly on Tiktok, and that was that, job done. A masterclass.

Well thatβs me locked out. No pay for the foreseeable future, all because I refuse to reschedule lost teaching, for which I have already lost pay as part of the strike. Please donate to support @sheffielducu.bsky.social members like me at www.gofundme.com/f/heubvb-sup...

Itβs hilarious that the one single thing that Johnson achieved as PM was to remove any and all people of any talent or ability from the Tories whilst replacing them with laughably inept morons like this, thus ensuring their complete irrelevance for at least a generation if not forever.

This harrowing tragedy should never have happened, and my heart breaks for Renee, her loved ones, and the entire Minnesota community. βICE is a rogue, violent agency that moves with reckless disregard for human life and due process, and it has no business in our communities. It must be abolished and the agents involved must be held fully accountable. βDHSβ claim that an agent shot in self-defense is a bold-faced lie and the video footage is damning. But after I moved to subpoena all records and footage related to this killing, Republicans shamefully voted it downβdemonstrating once again that they have never cared about law and order or keeping our communities safe.
A graphic that reads: βWhat happened today is a despicable consequence of Donald Trumpβs campaign of terror, fear, and demonization of vulnerable communities and we cannot allow it to be normalized in America. βI demand a thorough and independent investigation into this tragedy so Renee, her loved ones, and the public get the accountability and transparency they deserve. βItβs time for the Trump Administration to end its cruel, unlawful mass deportation agenda once and for all.β

Weβre all caught in the gears of history. When the Brexit vote happened I said to a mate that I thought that was the start of the book, & it wouldnβt make good reading. But I didnβt think it would be anything like the last 10 years. If history tells us anything weβve got another 10 years of this too

The world capitulates.
150 countries agree plan to stop global companies shifting profits to low-tax jurisdictions, but US companies will be exempt from 15% global minimum tax.
They make profit we fund the cost.
The race to the bottom will accelerate.
Right. My students working two part time jobs and/or having an hour and a half commute to uni because they have to live at home due to the cost of student accommodation lack drive and vigour. Sure thing, Peter. The UK Govt still haven't a clue about the realities of universities today.
