Not Scottish but WHAT A GOAL!!!

This is the kind of lost economic growth you’d expect to see in countries under long term economic sanctions. We voluntarily chose to sanction ourselves.

“Why did the chicken cross the road?” “Because some silly bugger crashed the lorry it was being transported in” Apparently this happened at home today. Zeke is going to have a field day chasing loose chickens all over Dunblane. eu1.hubs.ly/H0pCdlz0

Cant wait for retirement, when i’ll finally get to play GTA6 while reading A Dance with Dragons at the same time.

Oh no. I’m only young for another 8 weeks 😂 (Sorry, love your work Lewis 😆)

Being asked to send an end of module feedback survey several weeks before the module ends. This is the third (or maybe fourth) request we been told to send out. We pretty much send a request after every interaction with students. And guess what. Most students don’t complete them. Well duh.

Watching IT: welcome to Derry on Sky Atlantic and all i can think is “aww look at the little cyber cherub”

I thought the same when I read it. Now follow it up now by watching a House of Dynamite on Netflix. May as well be a dramatisation of this book. After that double header you won’t sleep for a week!

The sheffield wednesday social media feeds have brought back the old, true logo for our club, and I’m low key so happy to see it again!

Ok this one is good. Trumpian levels of business acumen from Chansiri here.

BBC 5 live presenter just now “I didn’t expect the depth of feeling from the Wednesday fans (about chansiri)”. Wtf did you expect? You wouldn’t say that to Liverpool fans if they found themselves in the position we’ve been in the last few months and years.

Hearing Sheffield Wednesday have been put into administration Dark days, but hopefully this will finally cut away the cancer of Chansiri, and let us start rebuilding. Just please don’t let us be bought by Mike Ashley. That’s like swapping Jimmy Savile for Jeffrey Epstein.

We truly are in the age of the Enthickenment. I lost about 10 IQ points just from reading the post.

This literally looks like something from Warhammer 40k. When you are giving out medals that look like something a Chaos Marine would wear, you don’t need to ask if you’re the baddies anymore. You are.

Short of vaping, this would likely be the greatest public health intervention of the 21st Century.

I’m not crying…

In the last week I’ve sent four emails to various parts of our University’s administrative sections. How many responses do you think I’ve had….?

“What a lovely fla…(reaches photo 11) WHAT THE ACTUAL F**K!”

Please god no one introduce Peter Thiel to Warhammer 40k. If he finds out about that we’re all f***ed. He’ll be telling his underlings to build him the Golden Throne.

Major amendments and resubmission.

Was in conversation wirh a few innovation and med tec peeps recently Was all a bit "modern stents and TAVI have saved lives. It’s cool. Innovation is going to save lives. And if it’s better than what replaced it then all’s ok...." I mentioned my old friend “opportunity cost”. Cue tumbleweed

Just received a BBC news alert that absolutely deserves this gif. And I had both two of their albums (not anymore, got binned years ago for… well obvious reasons really.

Yorkshire edition Slaithwaite Dodworth Cudworth And of course my home Penistone.

Just seen an FB post saying Mike Ashley is interested in buying Sheffield Wednesday and the first reply said that’s like swapping Jimmy Savile for Jeffrey Epstein. Ain’t that the truth.

My beloved pup Zeke has found a new game. Its called trapping himself in the bathroom. And in this game he… traps himself in the bathroom. Then starts barking. He’s done this about ten times today. And twenty yesterday. Including during teams meetings. Well this time he can stay in there!

We have a knowledge economy in desperate need of highly skilled and educated workers I know. Lets reduce the number of University places by 100000 places. That’ll fix things. From the party that brought you that other example of massive economic and social self harm, Brexit.

Badenoch might have laughed reading them but she didn’t learn anything from them did she.

So apparently GW are releasing these new alternate Space Marine heads and all the worst people in the hobby are already losing their shit about it. It does almost make me want to go back on X to watch the meltdown in real time.

This week’s free poll. The US government believes infectious diseases are caused by A) viruses and bacteria. B) an imbalance of the humours. C) Divine punishment from God.

By the next election they’ll both be pledging to deport 70 million to the Chagos Islands.

“You don’t make friends with salad” is basically the story of my life.

I think it’s revealing of the current trajectory of the UK political economy that universities are told they will be allowed to go bust despite employing significantly more people than JLR, and being the engine of many local economies.

Larry here has just invented modern day China.

What are the odds on Trump deporting the US Ryder Cup team? Or slapping punitive sanctions on Europe after his inevitable hissy fit?

Slightly different point but this always reminds me of Futurama’s “don’t date robots” scene. What was comedy increasingly seems like prophecy. This is basically the same. youtu.be/4uE96qUlJ_4?...

Just learned that Nigel Farage made £180k last year from Cameo. Proving what we all already know. He’ll say absolutely anything for money.

Dementia Carers Count (DCC) has launched ‘We See You’, a campaign aimed at making dementia carers more visible in society.  Read More: buff.ly/Gt8xuFF

So today I discovered i have a doppelgänger who runs a podcast on materials science. Because someone emailed me asking if they could come on ‘my’ podcast to talk about wood.

This is a story that must be told. I’m imagining the Breaking Bad of british politics

“Mad racist rants at world” should be reported in the ‘in other news’ section of todays news bulletins. It won’t be. But it should.

So when do we change the US president from the ‘leader of the free world’ to ‘danger to the free world’? I also see that it only took a week from his big State Visit for the orange shitgibbon to throw the PM under the bus.
