Brendan Research are currently seeking funding to find out.

Horrified to receive a Reform UK leaflet tonight, and more horrified by the data viz. Fixed it for you @reformexposed.bsky.social

Heck yes! Congratulations

Fabulous performance of Come From Away at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. And I can hear the Tattoo pipes and drums as I wait for my bus….

Quiet revival: myth or reality? Recent research suggests that young men in Britain are turning increasingly to faith. Madeleine Davies takes some soundings

Awesome to see Brendan Research reports highlighted, and me quoted, in this excellent wide-ranging article on Quiet Revival. www.churchtimes.co.uk/articles/202...

Last night Anna Troup won the ladies race of Race Across Scotland, finishing 4th overall.

This after outright winning the summer Spine Race in June.

After nearly 3 years out with injury.

Oh, and she's 55 for anyone thinking age makes the slightest difference in ultra events.

Inspirational!

Hooray! First #parkrun in months. And a BEAUTIFUL course at Drumpellier Country park.

Sad news, but what a life!

For six months, I've said that threats to economic data have been more collateral damage than intentional harm.

No longer.

Firing the head of the BLS is five-alarm intentional harm to the integrity of US economic data and the entire statistical system.

v100 done. With visiting daughter in matching pink.

Between May and July, Russia’s Federal State Statistics Service stopped publishing nearly all major demographic data. Here’s what this level of censorship means — and what the country’s last “living snapshot” reveals.

All those Saturdays marshalling in the rain and wind, and today I get to sit in the sunshine to do timekeeping at Oriam #parkrun

Slide stating WE NEED TO... expose the design decisions behind gender, sex and sexuality categories. Go beyond 'adding more' options to an ever-growing list of categories. Understand 'Prefer Not to Say' as a choice not a datapoint to be removed Recognise those who refuse and ensure they're not harmed by saying 'no'.

Thought-provoking and fascinating talk by @kevinguyan.bsky.social at tonight’s joint @rssedinburgh.bsky.social & @rssdiversity.bsky.social event; on the importance of box breakers and careful design of classification studies. Some helpful considerations ⬇️ Highly recommend his new book #rainbowtrap

Hang on, was I sitting beside you? So sorry for not saying hello 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Slide at event with RSS Edinburgh Local Group and RSS Celebrating Diversity Group introducing Kevin Guyan talking about his new book “Rainbow Trap”

Yay! @royalstatsoc.bsky.social CD SIG with @kevinguyan.bsky.social

Image from X saying basically, "Your neighbor is your family."

Since this is making the rounds. Just.... no. After Jesus says, "Love your Neighbor," someone asks, "And who is my neighbor?" Jesus responds with the Parable of the Good Samaritan, in which he tells the audience that the ethnic group they hate the most are their neighbors. ⚓ #ActuallyReadTheBible

Actually managed a S&C session with my PT this afternoon. First in about a month. So wonderful to be back outside and have my body doing stuff.
No glute tendon stuff tho!

Seems legit 😢

I was greeted with delight by a former canon at Hereford as he announced that my cassock was “Hereford cathedral blue”

Mine is blue. But that’s CofS. I look deadly ill in black.

Can we buy the book there Kevin, or if I get one ahead of time can you sign it for me? 😃

Drowning Doesn’t Look Like Drowning Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect.

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.
