Stunning performance from #WxmAFC, beating Coventry 3-2. Every player superb. In Phil we trust!!

Visited the ‘Gladiators of Britain’ exhibition in Chester’s Grosvenor Museum. A collab. b/w British Museum & @colmuseums.bsky.social. A small but mighty display - inc. the stunning ‘Colchester Vase’ and some lovely slate from n.Wales (and much more besides). Free to visit, there til Jan.

After Brexit & Trump,fear the worst regarding elections.But today: hope.Reform,with their MAGA-Putin cash,threw it all to win this with an ugly message.But enough Caerffili people said ‘No’ thankfully. U ok Nigel?!😀👋 Onwards to defeating Reform in #Senedd26. Congrats Lindsay Whittle 😀🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿👏🎊 #YmaOHyd

Work of art from Lowry…

I've been reminded of the campaign that the Woodland Trust are running to rescue the ancient forests hidden in modern plantations in Cymru and England. Please consider helping to support their campaign to protect these precious resources www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/protecting-t...

On the bright side though, I’m watching ‘Dark Hearts’ on IPlayer, and it is superb.

Next week is welcome week and, for the first time ever, the university I work at will offer no courses at all from the Humanities. I am immeasurably sad about this😢. #History, #Humanities

Wales has 'cold spots' in higher education, with many students unable to study subjects like Modern Languages, Classics and Anthropology close to home. ITV Wales covers our report today. https://bit.ly/4nmZf21

Great win for Wrexham tonight against Hull, storming comeback led by Ollie P. Talking of iconic strikers, nice to see this too (and Mo Faal scored winner for Port Vale) #wrexham #AskWxm

I see #wrexham FC have bought Kiefer Moore and Dwayne Johnson…

OK, it’s not exactly sycamore gap, but was a bit sad to see this - 2021 Vs today.

Decades of mechanistic talk about university degrees as if they were bundles of 'skills' and 'prep' are about to be proved completely wrong (obviously). Want to get a real boost? Do History or English.

The disappearance of public adult education in the UK over the past twenty years - whether local authority or government - is a national disgrace.

It turns out you can't threaten to decimate the history and heritage of an entire region of the UK without serious opposition from the public. Please lend us your voice - History and Heritage have been a staple of Bangor for a century and a half, and is in danger of being destroyed.

📣 Help save Llandudno's Queen Vic! The historic bronze bust of Queen Victoria that was situated in Happy Valley has been removed, presumed stolen. The bust is the centrepiece of a monument erected in 1890 to mark the 50th year of the Queen's reign. 🧵 #heritage

I think student loans/interest are an abomination but the ‘£200k’ students mentioned here studied 4 or 5 different courses each, which is very unusual! The piece does acknowledge the avg. debt is £48k - maybe go with this headline (it’s shocking enough!)

Not sure if it’s the historian in me, but if a tagline claims that ‘many are asking whether the chancellor will survive in post’ I’d expect to see some evidence from at least one of those ‘many’ in the accompanying piece🤔

There are many questions I can think to ask about the re-emergence of a ‘Hitler’ diary, but I must admit this isn’t one of them…

Anyway, my Sainsbury’s shopping review for ‘24 is in. I ate them so you didn’t have to.

Hmm, I don’t know - maybe Next could absorb the budget-related staff rise itself from its £1bn profit!

It is good to know that my takedown video really did get to him. He's absolutely never acknowledged me before. If you want to see what's getting him so mad, here it is (I'd really love it to reach 10k views so consider sharing, liking, etc if you'd be so kind) www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyKI...

New Year and the salad prices in the uni canteen have doubled!

Hmm, having taught many students whose first HE experience was in their 60s+, there’s prob a lot of research that could be done on the money society actually saves (NHS etc) by bringing together people in ‘later’ life who are energised by learning and revitalised by the friendships they form.

Think my LinkedIn profile needs a bit more work…

Local Supermarket’s starting to get a bit preachy…

We are visiting Erddig for today’s #archaeologyadvent. In September, an excavation took place looking for the lost building which once stood next to the house. Work is continuing, looking at the pottery and other items recovered to understand what it was used for. @nationaltrust.bsky.social
