These cuts (and the measley redress) cut especially deep in rural areas

There is no point in ‘protecting’ us from Putin if our society ends up so ill from welfare cuts that we can barely function

Swear this kind of stuff gives me life when so much is so awful

Streeting compared trans rights with same sex marriage? WTF?

They call us obstacles to progress. I’m enrolled in the research. My response to WIRED’s “The Painful Truth About Long Covid.” darthfoo.substack.com/p/the-patien... #LongCOVID #MECFS #Wired #PEM #CBT #GET

My partner has been hate watching a Jason Momoa program where he does a lot of this. I don’t think it’s a bad idea especially if it saves us from more cyber trucks.

I really miss the days of acetates and writing on boards.

Nooooooo!

I can imagine Gales flogging it for 50 quid a loaf

The actual living fuck? As if academia is not already fucked by ai (assignments written by it, candidates for jobs screened by it and staff pressured to use it) it hardly needs essay mills promoting. Is a student who uses an essay mill better or worse than one who uses ai?

Ai, even minus the planet-burning, water-sucking environmental impact and fascist leanings, is just a shell. It’s a digital Emperor’s new clothes.

YOU’RE LISTENING TO SISYPHUS FM, THE HOME OF NON-STOP ROCK

Trade Unions should put their money where their mouth is and sue the British Government over the unworkable EHRC guidance. Guidance that will be devastating for the workers' they represent and especially the small businesses who employ them. Force Labour to legislate to fix it.

I am old as fuck and I find stuff like this and all that ‘ingredients-led household’ shit utterly bewildering.

The point that I'd like to point out is that a massive majority just watched it happen... How are trans people supposed to reconcile that? 1/4

functionally most of the people who are on bluesky are on bluesky either because they are progressive political folks or because they are targets of the nazis who run rampant on twitter there’s no level of movie talk or sports talk that can make the background radiation there tolerable for us

I thought this was about the Labour leadership contest. Still works.

I dunno dude, I quite like the fact I haven’t been subjected rape threats here. Is not wanting to be in an environment that results in rape threats if you disagree with the seeming-majority of users, being in a ‘bubble’?

I’m so disillusioned by academia that I’m not 100% sure if this is satire

I don’t understand. Do Labour actively want to antagonise the people who used to vote for them? Do they think this will win them back? It’s like domestic abuse at this stage.

Televangelist kinky as fuck

I dont doubt the good intentions of the artist and even the people that chose to publish the artwork but fuck me after the Guardian’s active contribution to this present moment this just angers me. I dont feel solidarity, a kind hand on my shoulder,i feel pissed the fuck off and patronised

Universities of Hull, Bangor, Bradford, UCLan, Cardiff have already closed or restructured their chemistry depts Now Nottingham announces cuts The fire that burnt through arts & humanities is now engulfing pure sciences in our universities www.chemistryworld.com/news/notting...

"Well done Andy Burnham for resolving the question of whether the Greens should stand in Makerfield. He's spent the entirety of this week providing very good reasons for not supporting his candidacy." Softer comms and a northern accent do not a change make.

1. Number of stories about Trump buying and selling hundreds of millions of dollars in stocks in the first three months of 2026: CBS: 0 CNN: 0 Fox News: 0 NPR: 0 PBS: 0 Politico: 0 Semafor: 0 Business Insider: 0

Cruel and entirely, entirely impossible to implement. This is going to be an absolute disaster.

As the Universities burn, Baroness Jacqui Smith -- Skills Minister and Wife of Porn Expenses Claimant -- is working on the problem

Never a dull moment in Norfolk tbh

State of academia in the U.K. I’m seriously considering taking up a life of crime

Hard to know who to cheer on. I hope it sinks them both

I’m still trying to process the fact that people are publishing made up shit. So many good colleagues made redundant or at risk of, and then this? What is the point anymore?

It’s been a long time since i posted here and honestly, it’s a bit overwhelming still

Good for them. Shame they lost such a valuable educational opportunity. The money won’t make up for that. www.independent.co.uk/asia/india/c...

This so much more important than the Scottish budget. I mean, who cares about 5.5m people? #IndyRef #ScotPol

When you have nothing better to do with your time

A particularly nefarious disinfomation campaign is underway: fake fake videos. To discredit catastrophic news from Gaza, pro-Israel accounts denounce low quality generated by AI videos "with millions of views". 1/4

Need this for all the companies running Facebook ads on neo-nazi pages/groups.

@slpng-giants-fr-2.bsky.social hi there, is there any way of pressuring Facebook advertisers to stop advertising given their ads end up on neo-nazi pages? I recall Sleeping Giants being a powerful tool but not sure how to counter this on Facebook?

No longer can I amaze my non-academic pals by telling them about how academic publishing works to fuck over everyone. About time really.

This is hilarious

Shout out to any Black/minoritised scholars looking to do a PhD around learning disability research in the UK. Run don’t walk to work with these amazing people at the OU #BlackAcademia #BlackScholars wels.open.ac.uk/sites/wels.o...

The reason they're so focused on trans teens is that people who transition younger typically blend into society better. To the extent that they're willing to tolerate our existence in society at all, they'd rather we be easily identified by our appearance/voices/etc.

Cis people really have no idea how it feels to watch a regime hold a press conference to admit, on camera, the pogrom against trans people they've been waging for 11 months is not only real, but they're going to double down on genocide and try to wipe out all the children first.

LMFAO! Wordle turns you into an assassin?

When is government going to step up & start limiting numbers of SMT/SET in universities? Like gremlins they proliferate with their bloated salaries & pensions as they cut & bleed the people who actually make the organisation function. Absolute parasites.
