So, PayPal is being automatically linked to our FB accounts - I feel we should have been asked if we wanted that? 🤔

Are any data protection experts reading this? This seems really unethical to me (use of a passenger manifesto for immigration status assessment): www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

In case you don't know already, the journal Open Mind has a Bluesky account that automatically posts new papers: @openmindjournal.bsky.social The journal is diamond open access (free to read, free to publish) thanks to the support of MIT Press, Harvard Library, & MIT Library.

Very few people seem to understand university finances and, distressingly, this includes many academics and most policymakers. This is an attempt to condense the key points you need to know. open.substack.com/pub/profseri...

If anyone is curious about the current list of search terms being used by right wing activist organizations to harass university professors, here's a public records request I received today from Mike Howell of the Heritage Foundation. Not intimidating or meant to curtail by my speech at all, right?

The UK did have one standout product that was considered globally valuable- universities- and unilaterally decided to stop providing the product because it was more important to be xenophobic than successful

Lovely balmy Hertfordshire evening

I have 564 3s and 422 4s. This sounds impressive until you see my mum’s stats. She has >100 more 3s than me despite having played for less time (by literally 5 games). My 6s are 35 while hers are single digits (8 iirc). The only thing I have over her now is I’ve never had an X/6 while she did once

Idle question - those of you who are Wordlers, do any of you have more 3's than 4's in your guess distribution? (Not me - but we have family members who are more left-shifted than others so I'm curious)

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING.

I agree with this. We need to protect some of our collective knowledge from degradation by AI (I say this as someone who is excited by the possibilities of AI)

Turns out, two of pain’s most famous messengers — Substance P and CGRPα — might not be so essential after all. Mice missing both still felt pain just fine, challenging decades of assumptions about how pain signals travel. buff.ly/ypISrtx
