It’s a joke. They are primates.

A PhD is a great idea if you want to work your ass off for a few years and then somehow feel like a failure when you finish it successfully

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

Painted wooden Victorian trenchers, highly decorated in gold, red, green, blue and many more colours

#AshmoleanAdvent Day 7: Decorated Elizabethan Trenchers
 
These decorated wooden trenchers, made around 1600, would have been used as dining plates at banquets on special occasions. Placed face down on a table they would have held sugared fruits, marzipan or other sugary delicacies.

Yep, Canadian-Brit here, and I think you have nailed it. Both use it as social lubricant, but Canadians with feeling, and not in the ‘I’m saying sorry in a way that implies I think you are the one who should actually be sorry’ kind of way.

Unfortunately overlooked by most people at the Louvre, who are facing the other way.

Huge respect to the papers for finding both an 88 year old worried about the tax bill on her 6 bedroom Kensington house and a 20 year old fretting about only being able to save £12k a year tax free.
Top work all around. These are not easy case studies to find.

Yeah that would work, but the problem is their system would have to be very granular and I’m not sure it can tell between where it is allowed and .5m away.

A brilliant keynote lecture by Natalia Nowakowska at the Europaeum History Conference, re-centring the Jageillonians between Western Europe and the Eurasian Steppe.

But that isn’t about rental scooters, which are completely legal.

I totally agree, inconsiderate parkers drive me crazy. What do you think Voi should do? Have them relocate the 🛴 more often? More severally penalize repeat bad parking? I’m a regular Voi user and these idiots are going to lose us the privilege.

Huh, the prompt didn’t say anything about hagiography. I’m beginning to doubt that Grok isn’t as discerning and all-knowing as we’ve been led to believe.

I am so sorry, that is THE WORST.

If by that she means individual faculty space has been reduced, and students pushed out, then yes.

Are those not Cambridge colleges?

~10 ‘patriots’ day drinking in Bonn Square. Their loudspeaker is being drowned out by a guy playing reggae.

Several hundred people representing a huge coalition of political parties, local council, peace groups, refugee supporters and hope not hate campaigners. They are colourful, joyful, and marching in solidarity.

In case anyone thinks Reform could ever get a foot in in Oxford, here are photos of the two opposing protests taken within minutes of each other today.

I’m all in favour of tech tools that can support research, but I kind of feel on this one… what if we want to be left behind?

Very glad he considers our work valuable.

"What is certain, and felt instinctively by almost everybody, is that things cannot go on in their present way" – The Times, May 1975

“It is difficult to imagine a previous period when such an all-pervasive hopelessness was exhibited at all levels of British life” – Professor Stephen Haseler, 1975

Yeah, it’s called oligarchy

💯. Universally beloved.

Reminder: This Monday (10th) at 4:30pm, @susannah-lw.bsky.social will be presenting her research into the global and natural material culture of the 17C English Queens. Memorial Room, Jesus College. All are welcome!

Absolutely horrible. 100% would watch.

One week till I'll be speaking on the Stuart consorts and their global entanglements @oxfordcourtstudies.bsky.social. Please come if you can!

I think they will probably go for at a few under 40.

What a year for you and your family! I am so sorry.

Came here to say this

Sorry no, the princely courts of the early modern period. (Which were occasionally courts of law too but that is usually not the focus of our talks)
