Is the Junior Colleague Cup coming back for another season on Fantasy Premier League?

Can't remember who league admin is - I'll make a new one if needs be

Opportunity for us to make a cinematic universe

Netflix should lap this up, surely

The expansion of the franchise is a good step, but unless they go through with moving to automatic registration, it will not make the difference some hope it will.

It appears to be going across the Pentecostal churches (ELIM and AOG) from what I have seen. It has emboldened the conservative views (or prejudices) held in their assemblies.

I say this, granted, as someone not involved in the church but with a family who almost entirely work for churches.

Seeing this in the church my family go to/run. Apologists for the likes of Anderson just because he speaks about his "faith". More and more of that church are vocally leaning towards Reform. This follows some UK churches being influenced by and involved with Right wing (Trump supporting) US churches

Saying farewell to me desk today. I was sat here for the majority of my PhD and time TAing here.

It was here in Quad D on the 4th floor of the ALB, that I've, oddly, felt happiest in the past few years.

Time to let someone else enjoy it and time for me to find work beyond being a TA.

I refuse to accept him bringing Red Pandas into this

"Location: Preferred location is London as this is where majority of the team and stakeholders are based."

I hate seeing this on applications. Some of us are rational human beings and do not want to be in London.

Comparing registration systems using the International Difficulty of Registration Index (IDORI). How difficult is electoral registration in the UK? Abstract. Electoral registration in the UK is often critiqued for making it hard for voters to participate in elections. However, without a tool for a syst

Automatic voter registration: a huge step forward for democracy – and a chance to bring missing millions into elections As part of a raft of new measures, people will no longer need to register themselves to vote.

Great work by @tobysjames.bsky.social It is essential that we push for automatic registration now!

It also references mine and @profsob.bsky.social recent article (which I will link below this)

So many job ads start with:

"Are you interested in advancing AI?"

No, I am absolutely am not.

Why racist CTs have widely circulated as scientific truth? In this video I explain this phenomenon and the factor mentioned at the beginning is the commodification of our affects promoted by contemporary capitalism.

This week
Mon - Job interview / watch train videos with nephew

All equally important, I'm sure you'll agree

Great paper and interesting research by @ralphscott.bsky.social @nspmartin.bsky.social and @rolandkappe.bsky.social

Any Dyslexic scholars feel nauseous before they start reading an article or chapter? Any reading tips that I may have missed over the years, welcomed (Aware the best way to overcome is to simply just get on with it)

Seriously tho, we've landed robots on comets but no one has cured my dyslexia yet?!

Seeing the term "micro-retirement" appearing recently and I would like it to stop

"Micro-retirements mean quitting your job & taking a break before starting a new job, or taking a few weeks of unpaid leave every 6 months to recharge as agreed with your employer."

Whoinfucksname can afford this?

I might actually start preventing people from mentioning the 1966 world cup, sounds fun.

You're all now only allowed to mention the 1977, '78, '81, '84, 2005, & '19 European Cup finals. No reason, I chose those years entirely at random. And no, you can't dance Nobby's dance whilst mentioning them!

Watched Threads.
Not often you get an insight into local government and nuclear apocalypse in one film. But MY WORD, the film is bleak!

(Also aware very few feel 'welcome' in academia)

I have never felt welcome in academia but have fought against it. But now I'm applying to civil service (like learning a new language). Also, trying to find jobs in Europe (mostly Spain) too, just to have some sort of prospect beyond living semi-employed at the arse end of Liverpool whilst nearly 40

Academic (& adjacent) job market is soul-crushing. I've never been this unhappy regarding future prospects (which is odd considering I had no a-levels or job in my 20s)
Between applying and not finding time to write papers (which jobs are based on), anyone else barely find energy to get out of bed?

This is great, Lou! Nice one!

What do women’s parties want? And how do their platforms differ?

Very happy to share the first paper from my PhD out now in @politicsgenderj.bsky.social! In it, I present a comparative empirical analysis of European women’s parties’ issue concerns in 30yrs of party manifestos. 🧵⬇️

I’m petrified about today’s science news. Genetically modifying crabs to have cheetah genes? This could go sideways fast.

I survived the 7/7 London bombings, but as a British Muslim I still grew up being called a terrorist Four years on from the attacks on 9/11 - this was a time when, in the minds of many, Muslims were already associated with terrorism.

Finally out! If you want to know exactly how the UK compares on how easy or difficult is for voters to register to vote, give this a read
Takeout- it is extremely difficult! And there are few other liberal democracies that compare.
We’re ready for change!

Giving this a bump. Mine and @profsob.bsky.social work analysing the comparative level of difficulty British people face when registering to vote and what UK can do to change this, is out now. More detail in quoted post.

Haha
Yes, mate, it does.
