Oh you have to give us a bigger clue. Cheer us all up

like to think I lead complex emotional life but then the sun comes out and i am happy. i am functionally no different from a big leaf

I think about this a lot

It’s second Sunday of the month, and this afternoon just off of Trafalgar Square, I’ll be running Captain Dan’s laundry for homeless, vulnerable, and/or destitute asylum seekers, refugees, and migrants

Kelly’s Cellars

and yes: we witnessed a bar fight at close quarters and I got chatted up by a literal teenager. Belfast Saturday nights do not disappoint

Who said advocating for women’s rights in Belfast was all work and no play? Concert, pub crawl, birthday run by the Lagan

It's International Women's Day this weekend. Afghan women & girls' rights are crushed like never before.

So I'm in Belfast to speak up with them through events curated by my amazing comrades @beyondskin.bsky.social

I've had a very hard year — this reminds me of who I am and what actually matters.

If I was @zackpolanski.bsky.social, I would be pointing out to the BBC that whatever model they use to justify giving Farage & his boot-lickers season tickets for every BBC show under the sun must surely now treat Green Party politicians in exactly the same way. Might even be one for the lawyers...

That's kind of how biology works, yes

YouTube video by Forbrukerrådet - Norwegian Consumer Council A Day in the Life of an Ensh*ttificator

"Make people dependent enough, and then make it shitty"

Still giggling at this hilarious video from the Norwegian Consumer Council "A Day in the Life of an Ensh*ttificator" which seems a perfect embodiment of Silicon Valley and tech generally these days

PinkNews launches survey on impacts of the Supreme Court's gender ruling LGBTQ+ news publisher PinkNews has launched a survey focused on the impacts of the UK Supreme Court's gender ruling.

"The online survey will run from Monday, 2 March to Monday, 30 March 2026 and aims to gain an insight into demographic data, the single-sex spaces people have been questioned for using and the wider effects of the ruling on people’s day-to-day lives."

Positive discrimination on the grounds of protected characteristics is already against the law. She is so bad at this

Apart from the word salad Toby Young, what?

KCL as well (we will have had five permanent hires by the time I finish my 4-year tenure as head of the music department, four of them in music humanities). All replacement posts though - no expansion

That is entry level - it’s the new American-style name for Lecturer.

Also, they don’t, as well as shouldn’t.

Hiring established scholars to junior Oxbridge roles imperils disciplines As lay-offs continue elsewhere, postdocs’ inability to land permanent roles will block the pipeline of future faculty, Cambridge academics argue

Raises some important issues but also ignores the fact that many Humanities staff outside the magic circle are facing redundancy. They are naturally willing, indeed desperate, to apply for entry-level Oxbridge posts. The situation is grim. 1/2

The Iranian regime is heinous. That still doesn't remotely give the US/Israel legitimacy to force change.

And yes, for the arseholes, I found out AFTER I posted it — as it was floating unacknowledged around the internet — that it is the product of the excellent @neinquarterly.bsky.social

Because it was floating around the internet unacknowledged, and I thought it was great, and then someone much more kindly than you pointed that out, so I did.

Didn't happen. Matt Goodwin cannot possibly have a girlfriend.

So much BOTH OF THESE THINGS.

Goodwin, Fartage, McSweeney, Glasman:

No surprises, surely?

Candidate is arrogant charmless TV presenter & hates everything: lose.

Campaign is entitled technocracy + smearing left-liberalism: lose.

Candidate is local & can make OK speech about how a good job should lead to a good life: win.

Normal politics is trying to be born.
