The start of the second day of the EAUC conference @theeauc.bsky.social and there's just been a fascinating talk that included the impact of, and how to address, misinformation. @pallavis.bsky.social.

Oh dear, my intention to engage with fellow sustainability enthusiasts has fallen by the wayside - I blame grading for that one... Anyway, I'm back in the fray again. :)

www.theguardian.com/environment/... Oh, I just love this kind of thing... 😀

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... After the debacle at the White House, it is clearer than ever that Europe should detach itself from the US and that we, the UK, should be part of that process.

So, in my somewhat considered opinion, one of the main barriers to the adoption of ESF is the sheer amount of material that course leaders are expected to pack into the given hours in a course. Predictably, I would say that ESF actually simplifies these requirements, but it's a tough sell...

www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025... I'm having real trouble distinguishing Labour from the Tories right now. I appreciate that the government is trying to get the economy moving, but the continual growth model is non-viable. Obviously, a 3rd runway will do extensive environmental damage as well...

Lawyers for Liz Truss have asked me to stop saying Liz Truss crashed the economy. I only said Liz Truss crashed the economy because Liz Truss did crash the economy. If she wanted me to not say Liz Truss crashed the economy, she shouldn’t have crashed the economy. Please don’t share.
