Unions pass no confidence vote in University of Nottingham bosses They say it follows "years of shocking financial decisions and governance failures".

An understated part of this: teaching staff, PhD students, research support staff, technical staff, facilities workers + more ALL voiced zero confidence in university leadership.

Do you have any idea how hard it is to get all these people to agree on anything. The boss is truly the best organizer.

Ulster University spent £24k on a trip to the 2024 THE Awards

If 60 unis did the same, UK universities shell out ~£1.6m on #THEAwards

Hard to justify this spend when many face certain job prospects -- morale is better boosted by real improvements or pay rises than glitzy ceremonies

As a Brit I’m fascinated by the twat/cunt offence severity level in the US.

Here those words are sprinkled like confetti into any conversation, in any setting ♥️

Jennifer Welch on Riley Gaines: “You’re an insufferable twat. Nobody likes you and no matter what you'll always have been the dumb bitch that tied for 5th place. Nobody likes you except for the other fake Christians that enjoy their spare time watching children get ziptied. So fuck you Riley Gaines”

University HR Directors & Heads of Legal are openly weeping & distraught

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

I mean, you’d have thought they’d have been pleased.

Must be incredibly difficult at The Telegraph to balance their core philosophy of the inalienable right of everyone to own a second home in another country with their other core belief in a visceral hatred of foreigners.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

Tawny owl

Six weeks ago, I picked up a year-old tawny owl with a broken leg off the main road near our home and dropped him off at our nearest vet.

After a few days, I received one of the most bizarre phone calls I’ve ever had, asking “So when are you coming to pick up your owl?” 🧵

Sgt Peppers album cover consisting of things that only made it because of immigration in to the UK, either immigrants themselves, the children of or as a result of someone else coming here.

Farage wanting to kick people out of the country because they migrated here made me angry and made me think about which best of British people and things wouldn't have happened were it not for the brilliance of immigration to the UK.

Unfortunately, everyone who predicted the rapture still seems to be here

So the country that pays the least for drugs. Works for me. Well done UK.
