Just one from a non-US institution

One of the things that makes me most proud to be British

Orbánism comes to south west London

My son got a behaviour log in school because he and his friends were using Google Sheets as an instant messager. I couldn't even be disappointed, I was impressed with the initiative

I'm very dubious this is about immigration at all, hence the lack of response to changes in the flow of migrants to the UK

How the internet has broken me: I read this line with the image of a goose angrily asking why he left the production

The media will need to do better on this. He can't just be allowed to refuse to answer. He is possibly the next PM and is in hock to a billionaire

The existence of these is a good thing! They make it easy to identify morons

Standard Bluesky

It's hard to overstate how ignorant this is. This is the Minister responsible for universities and they are completely unaware of the funding model that successive governments have forced on the HE sector. It's a level of disregard for her brief that borders on incompetence

So, Mr Tonali, would you like to go to prison, or hand over three quarters of a week's wages? Think carefully, young man

This is absolutely not compatible with claims to be a world leading higher education system or first class student experience. Imagine telling overseas students that they're paying upwards of £20k/year for a "minimum viable product"

Some worrying figures here www.thetimes.com/article/d758...

I'm fine with this. All academic awards are made up anyway, and tbh, we're always getting told to self-nominate for prizes This just shows initiative

Incredible work by the referee to have me feeling sympathy for Bayern effing Munich

It's worth stressing that the quality of the average world cup game will be far below the level of a mid-table Premier league game

Yesterday's announcement of Humanities closures at Hertfordshire, the news from Nottingham, Leicester, Edinburgh, Cardiff, LSE and so many more, signal a major, systemic crisis. Three vital topics are missing from 'What's the future for our universities?' We desperately need to add them in. 2/x

This report commits exactly the same fallacy as in a previous HEPI report: there are more Reform voters, so there must be more Reform views

The BBC publisher a full-length article version of this tweet www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

I really like Saka, still criminally underrated for some reason even though he's England's best attacker not named Kane. I'm glad he's going to the final

The government can't stop posting on Twitter, the LOTO doesn't think Tommy Robinson intimidates Jews, the leading party is campaigning for where they'll put detention camps, and it's likely the only response to the attempted murder of two Jews will be restrictions on pro-palestinian protests.

Football is truly mad. They might as well make hiring decisions based on astrology and tarot readings

What a chart this is. Evidence-based public policy, and incredible campaigning

The state of the "world-leading" university sector in the UK in 2026.

Maybe this could work at scale. But it's not like it's a new idea, so if it was really the panacea some think it is then it would have been tried. It's not like unis haven't tried all sorts of stuff (hello and goodbye, MOOCs!) www.timeshighereducation.com/depth/are-ac...

Badenoch at -6 is incredible. Though she does seem to be a lot quieter lately, which can only help

Even the LSE. Would that be enough for real government action? www.timeshighereducation.com/news/ucu-acc...

Have they not factored that even in constituencies where they lose, there will still be a lot of Reform voters? It could easily be over 25% of voters in a given constituency. But screw them, right?

Pretty much sums up my thoughts on TLJ, other than the criminal failure to recognise the on-screen chemistry between Oscar Isaac and Laura Dern and instantly re-write the script so she could be around for the last film

The Guardian is just doing Simpsons bits now

The Clone Wars was never meant to be a thing. It was just some cool-sounding shit for Luke and Obi-Wan to reference ("You fought in the Clone Wars?") and nerds built it up into some great mystery so we ended up with a whole Star Wars industry as a consequence

It's interesting that everyone here feels that they should be heard. I wonder how many are involved in community organisations or clubs. I think a lot of this stems from not feeling connections with others rather than any deeply-held political beliefs

Sounds like he's just playing episodes of Stick to Football instead of doing team talks

This is gloriously Westminster-brained. Like tossing a drowning person a 50kg barbell

This season is so crap that we aren't even going to get a banter relegation. Thanks for ruining Christmas, Aston Villa

Simon Calder rules travel journalism like he's peak Sauron. Is there even another travel journalist in Britain?

39 minutes into the match. 5th place Villa versus relegation threatened Spurs

Monkey Island But the game I wish I could play right now is NHLPA '93

This World Cup deserves to be a total disaster

Watching mainstream politicians tie themselves in knots so that they don't offend the extreme right has got to be one of the most shameful things in modern politics

It was 10 years ago that an MP was killed by a far-right nationalist

I wonder how many people would feel comfortable with a Tommy Robinson march going down their street? Or walking through one to cross the road?

Victim blaming. I'd expect nothing less from Sunderland www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Loris Karius!

Seems this fella wants Russia to empty its museums and scrapyards to invade the Baltic states

This is where Howe needs to improve. It's clear the energy has gone, so make subs now instead of waiting for the pre-planned 65th-68th minute #nufc

Brighton should suit #nufc more than most sides as they like to have the ball so we can sit back and play on the counter. I don't think this can work against Forest next week

Trying to keep in mind it's the hope that kills you #nufc

I suppose you can say it's a strong bench, but that's a... bold/interesting/suicidal starting XI

Russia's ban from the Olympics wasn't just about the invasion of Ukraine, it was also about extensive cheating. It's shameful that one of the first acts of the new IOC president has been to lift this ban www.bbc.co.uk/sport/articl...
