A banner advert for the University of Warwick, which says "Beyond ignores curiousity". This is a spelling error.

The University of Warwick has paid a lot of money, I'm guessing, for their internet banner ads on the Guardian and elsewhere.

But they can't spell "curiosity". This isn't a US-UK variant. They just, genuinely, have a massive spelling error in their banner ads.

"Bluesky is dying"

Oh yeah? Then explain why this GIF always does numbers.

Damn the evil prick ending $500 million in vaccine research while children die of preventable diseases.

I won’t RT that clip of Boris Johnson, because I think we’d all seen enough of him for a lifetime already, but to adapt the words of Christopher Hitchens: if you gave that man an enema, you could fit him in a matchbox

If you want to see Michelle Mone kicked out of the House of Lords and arrested until she pays the £232,000,000 she owes give this a RT.

If you want Rishi Sunak's involvement in the £14,900,000,000 PPE Fraud he covered up investigated, LIKE.

New tea towel design on the way. It’ll be loads better than this… honest. Perfect Christmas gift

i agree with will about this. contrast 1M covid deaths with how long our national politics were gripped by the memory of 3,000 people dying on 9/11

I think we’re on the cusp of mass attempts to automate teaching, and I also think it is going to be a massive wasteful failure in ways that will make the “learning loss” of the pandemic look like a speed bump next to a mountain.

Stop trying to please people that already don't like you. Instead embrace the idea of being the most annoying person in their lives.

Grace terrifies the poor bastards but Si gives them a kind word and a non problematic cuddle.

I prosecute and defend the most serious sexual offences in our courts.

The overwhelming majority of offenders are British-born. Overwhelmingly the victim is someone known to them, either a partner or relative.

Anybody purporting to care about protecting women might start there.

Offshore wind farms are forced to pay £879,000,000 a year in rent payments for tiny areas of the sea.

This all goes to the Crown Estate and YOU pay for it through increased electricity bills.

This con provides most of King Charles' 'income'.

Oooof. There is no coming back from this.

Yes!

Bottle of Oyster Bay, if you'd be so kind.

Cardiologist appointment next week.

My food/drink diary is fully updated, as is my exercise log.

NB: Any resemblance to a @ryanairofficial.bsky.social schedule is entirely coincidental.

Oh, Allan Ahlberg! I could probably recite Each Peach Pear Plum in my sleep.

Leaflet reading: "Plymouth Tree People Need Your Help PTP have partnered with the University of Plymouth and we need volunteers to survey trees this summer. What is involved? We need volunteers to measure new and established trees. It's quick and easy and doe not need any specialist knowledge. We provide training, equipment, and support. All the data we gather will help us improve survival rates and that means more trees for Plymouth. If you're interested or would like to find out more, please email Matt Underwood at matt.underwood@plymouthtrees.org. We will be carrying out training in August. Please get in touch with any questions you may have."

I need volunteers in Plymouth to be citizen scientists this summer. If you're interested in trees and would like to know more, please email me: matt.underwood@plymouthtrees.org. No prior experience needed! Please share.

Every post about Pamela Anderson will have a hundred comments underneath saying she’s not hot any more and every one of the commenters is a lying, bitter bastard

Keir Starmer is not popular. We know this. Partly because he's PM and partly, well, lots of reasons. But if you've taken to describing him as "evil," maybe, just maybe, you're suffering from too much Internet, and you need to go out and get some fresh air.

So pleased to hear my colleague @orbenamy.bsky.social calmly talking sense about teens and screens on the radio

This.

Evaluations by students have never produced actionable items for teaching improvement and they were never meant to. They provide post hoc justifications for personnel decisions (whether positive or negative) and encourage students to think of education as a transactional activity.

James O’Brien is bang on.

What Starmer has done with regards Israel, is the very definition of diplomacy.

We were crying out for dull, well meaning 5 years ago under Johnson. Instead of stupid, self interested sound bites.

MOTHERFUCKING WINDFARMS :)

Joy! JOY!

Absolutely adore that the lionesses went to Little Italy. Such a classy move. Not a private club. Not Mayfair. Proper old school off-the-street Soho.

You are travelling on Cross Country, this is just the beginning of their messing with you.
