Academic Appendicitis? Question for journal editors whose fields/journals tend not to publish appendices: are you seeing an upsurge in the number of submissions with appendices? We've seen this 'appendicitis' in the last year and I'm a bit nonplussed. #academicsky

Glasgow Central railway station - Wikipedia

The glass roof of the station is visible in the upper half of the shot, through the smoke. More info on Central Station here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glasgow...

Beyond obvious sympathy for business owners & ppl in flats in the building(?) this is sad & worrying for Glasgow's #architecture. The building is a lovely piece of Victorian design, but the blaze is right next to Central Station, a spectacular historic building ... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glasgow...

Congrats on your great work, Reece.

I heard/felt this. It seemed big Checked the time, thinking it was the 9 O’clock gun. It was ~9.12pm. #Vancouver #Meteor

Whomst among us has not accused a colleague of an action we portray as dammingly negative, based on having a stranger briefly waive a photo before our faces and believing, without fact-checking, that said photo was solid evidence? Whomst, I ask? Whomst?! #vanpoli

New series of Hope Dialogue Radio Show on Coop Radio Podcast Episode · Redeye · March 2 · 12m

POD DROP: We’re joined by Jennifer Johnstone of Central City Foundation to talk about the Hope Dialogues show on Coop Radio, which starts a new season on Monday. @guyfelicella.bsky.social @ejmccann.bsky.social @onecityvan.bsky.social @vangreens.bsky.social @copevancouver.bsky.social tiny.cc/g3pz001

A still from the video of the Talking Heads song, "(Nothing But) Flowers." The video begins with pans of the performers' faces labelled with their home towns. The image shows David Byrne's face and the label "Dumbarton, Scotland," the town near Glasgow where he was born.

I also appreciate this other hometown mentioned 👇 It's nice how Byrne still identifies as Scottish.

We've been telling SFU these contractors are bad actors for half a decade now. Admin's claim that food & cleaning services aren't core functions basically amounts to saying these workers are expendable. UBC, UVic, and UBCO employ service workers directly.

When will SFU do the right thing?

You're right ... there you go ... learn something new every day.

I'll be going down the rabbit hole now too then ...

Didn't know that!

she covered it? will need to find that

Remembered I’d come back to watch this….and so glad I eventually did!

Amazing isnt it?! ok I'm going to watch it again now!

We'll see how it goes. I'm not involved in organizing. Just subbed in on a panel, but it'll be interesting ...

Maybe of interest to Vancouver people ...

The long 2010s are finally over

Wow

This is the kind of thing a rich CEO says at the beginning of a science fiction movie to establish for the audience that he is a sociopath and the villain.

funny how that goes ...

“Eby’s NDP is using its reputation as a workers’ party to launder a budget that hurts the working class most.”

“Instead of asking those who have more to contribute more, the BC budget asks youth, working families, people in poverty and seniors to fend for themselves amid public services stretched beyond capacity and huge rural-urban gaps in access to health care, transit and other key services.”

“The budget lays the burden of austerity on the poorest in BC, while abandoning key investments in the care economy”
