With respect, why do you have two PhDs? My understanding is that one PhD in any subject with a relevant Masters (or MPhil) in another subject area would allow anyone to switch.

That's a wild take. Most political parties don't have access to all the information, and there are always changes in the political context. I've never understood how manifestos are used in the UK

I was elected to a local council at 29 & made leader of a cross party group.

Mid 30โ€™s is not that young: weโ€™re just used to everyone being ancient. Joe Biden was this age when he entered politics. Pundits disbelief is about race & class in my opinion.

If they donโ€™t make this they will regret it. Adam Driver being willing to come back is the biggest life line theyโ€™ve ever had

Money doesnโ€™t mean anything beyond what it can purchase. Wages havenโ€™t kept up with inflation, and ยฃ50k today isnโ€™t what ยฃ50k was in 2010.

It goes beyond skin colour too (which is vile and should be condemned): given the history of accent discrimination, itโ€™s a very quick leap to say that will determine if youโ€™re โ€œproperโ€ british.

They are currently cutting civil servants across all departments, but have more work that needs to be done. The only way to do that is for a belief in AI to do the work.

My work inbox is almost never under 500 (get several hundred a day).

My personal one with the junk? I do a full clear every 5 years or so, getting to that point again.

I donโ€™t even see the number any more.

I know a lot of the disabled community isnโ€™t wanting to leave because the algorithm keeps them in each others orbit. They also like the large likes that donโ€™t happen here.

Personally donโ€™t like finding our own persecutor though.

The UK is within spitting distance of having more murders portrayed annually on TV shows and movies set in the country than occur in real life

Mine makes dinner most nights and does almost all the laundry. I do most of the tidying and deep cleaning.

I'm most at peace with them around: we like the same shows, foods, and we both spend a lot of time working on our own projects.

Been living with them since 2008 (though we did 4 years LD).

How lovely. When I see dawn's rays peak through the curtain it means I've stayed up far too late ๐Ÿ˜‚

Violetโ€™s been recognized as a youth advocate around Covid19 for years: using her platform to shine a light on those who are forgotten. Sheโ€™s also spent her time at Yale to draw attention to the issue.

A nepo baby gains financially usually in the same field. I donโ€™t see her parents in this spaceโ€ฆ

Very fair! The ability for the UK to absorb the water is also higher (even with our low biodiversity).

I do use the factoid primarily to jolt people out of thinking the South East is a โ€œwetโ€ place.
