Alongside mooted restrictions on salary sacrifice - which universities make a lot of use of to pay for pensions - this is not shaping up to be a great budget for a sector already mired in cutbacks and redundancies.

In the queue for titration, but I’ve only managed without nicotine over the past 2.5 years because I moved to part-time and a less stressful job.

I keep saying this but it’s at least very interesting that many doctors didn’t think ADHD persisted into adulthood until you couldn’t buy Ritalin over the counter anymore and most people stopped smoking.

Fact check: True

Listened to The News Agents for the first time in a while and it’s awful, superficial palace intrigue. I don’t care about bias much, I do care about superficial analysis, where ‘the mood on social media’ is taken as empirical evidence for Shabana Mahmoud having no choice but to kick foreigners out.

Japanese people being silly.

Get an ADHD, autism or gender </dysphoria> diagnosis or equivalent within a day and get meds over the counter. Completely rewrite the symptoms of all three so they reflect what it’s like to actually have them, so they don’t just reflect the supposed inconvenience that they cause other people.

The reason I support accessible cities isnt just the climate benefits, or the positive effects on general urban life. It is also that I hate using a car, I hate it, trying to learn to drive was one of the worst experiences of my life and I do not believe it is for everyone.

This film has a permanent place in my Letterboxd Top Four.

It needs to have the Oneohtrix soundtrack too. I would pay to see that.

'You are supposed to protect me from things like this!' a furious Sir Keir Starmer is said to have bellowed at Morgan McSweeney, the man dubbed The Real Deputy Prime Minister. 'That's exactly what I was trying to do!' Mr McSweeney roared back.

A 34-year-old as a politician: My god he's like a baby. It's like they just elected an infant to be their mayor.

A 34-year-old as an athlete: You have to admire the bravery of him attempting that dunk, knowing full well the grim reaper is right behind him.

End of The Line: how Saudi Arabia’s Neom dream unravelled Mohammed bin Salman’s utopian city was undone by the laws of physics and finance

NEW: The End of the Line: the centrepiece of Saudi Arabia’s Neom gigaproject - a 500m tall, 170km long wall-like building intended ultimately to house 9 million people - can’t get out of the ground, say more than 20 former Neom architects, engineers and senior executives.

Congrats to British transphobia on successfully getting far-right beliefs protected by the legal system by making the bar for "worthy of respect" so low the devil could dance over it

Cyclist falls down 130-foot ravine in France, survives 3 days by drinking wine he had in shopping bag A helicopter airlifted him to hospital, with a rescue doctor calling his survival "a miracle."

A French cyclist survived for three days after a horrendous 130-foot fall into a ravine, kept alive by the bottles of red wine he had in his shopping bag, police said.

I’m pretty sure Andrew took a massive hit in terms of exposure and revenue by doing the right thing, so it would be nice if other people in the community, including the club itself, followed suit.

That’s their job, not mine. That said, they need to raise taxes and should fund local authorities properly. Devolve and decentralise. Support the economy and industries for which we’re already world renowned, not the ones they wish we were.

It is actually fairly unhinged that this is happening in the UK. We are such freaks, like it’s actually embarrassing

Scottish TERFs are more unhinged than the Falun Gong, but some evidence Scotland is slightly more trans inclusive as a whole (apologies about some of the terminology in these polls) d3nkl3psvxxpe9.cloudfront.net/documents/FI...

Corbyn didn’t have much charisma, but more people liked what he was saying. This government could try having an idea and also try toning down the kicking minorities a bit.
