I did wonder. This didn't feel like something the curators would sign off on. Surprise surprise that the @telegraph.co.uk is busy publishing half truths and deceptions again!

Definitely moral hazard territory.

Are we sure this isn't a medieval 'cheese and pineapple' party hedgehog like the ones from 80s kids parties?

Personally I have friends everywhere

I confess I didn't read the post name so when I read the first sentence I thought it was some kind of 'Trump repealing climate science' gag

The lost, found and lost again Sappho Brothers Poem papyrus facesandvoices.wordpress.com/2026/02/01/t...

What's the coordinate system?

Scrolling through this in case there's anyone in my field (There's not!) Quite a few from Yale though.

I am genuinely wondering why you would do this? Surely the amount of rust would put you off even if you didn't realise it was unexploded ordnance

I really really hope someone is subjecting the Epstein files to Arendt-levels of analysis. The enmeshment of so many wealthy and powerful people in this is frankly incredibly illuminating and understanding how these networks operate is incredibly important

Bring back 15+ episode seasons! (We don't actually need like 24 episodes 15-20 is ample).

Keir Starmer is Wenamun!

Thr next front line of online radicalisation is going to be the over-60s.

I think I might take one of these "under 20 minutes" AI skills courses the UK Govt. seems very keen on everyone doing and live-post it here... Maybe we can all learn something together! The press release sends me to aiskillshub.org.uk/aiskillsboost/ - let's go and see!

It's pretty wild. As an undergraduate in the early 00s I remember us being told 'ooh Wikipedia is a bit iffy, can't be sure you'll get decent info' etc etc Now its genuinely an excellent resource that beats a lot of other info out there from a standard search.

Hahahahahah

It's time for me to re-share my post about 1. what is - and how to get - a free RSS Feed Reader to keep up-to-date with all your friends' blogs, and 2. a ready-made "British Weird" starter pack of blogs to follow, if that's your particular jam www.lazaruscorporation.co.uk/blogs/artist...

Amazing

“How do you solve a problem like Marea?” Locating a site from the exhibition, ‘Alan Sorrell ‘Nubia”. Why are some sites so hard to find on the map? A misidentification of a location visited by Alan Sorrell in 1962 offers some possibilities.

I've just re-watched (Star Wars) Attack of the Clones and its wild that George Lucas writing the acknowledged worst episode of a space-fantasy saga demonstrates a better awareness of the basics of the Roman arena than Ridley Scott directing actual Gladiator movies!

I read three moden languages in Latin script and one ancient language that is decidedly not alphabetic and frankly Goodman's idea that reading is 'not precise' is such a terrible load of bollocks I don't know where to start. There's a special circle of hell reserved for academics like him!

Yes actually because if it goes up the windows in my house will probably all break.

No the BBC is in crisis because it couldn't be bothered with a proper analysis of a presidential speech and instead resorted to ham-fisted editing, at best incompetent and at worst unethical, thereby allowing its opponents unprecedented opportunities to destroy it.

Did you know the use of GenAI resources has implications for you as a student? In this DigiKnow video, MTU students & staff discuss these implications along with outlining an explanation of how Gen AI large language models work.   www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdR-... @mtu.ie #AcademicSky

Exhibition Review: Alan Sorrell ‘Nubia’ A review of an interesting exhibition on Alan Sorrell's paintings of the Nubian rescue campaign in 1962.

Of course all of this. The presence of the European flag in the quoted post is somehow doubly hilarious.

💯 the simping for a war criminal and murderer was almost as gross though.

So I guess all the old Soviet jokes are useful again? It's a bit like when text messaging started and everyone was repurposing telegram jokes!

So Lady Featherington in Bridgerton is also Atia from Rome!

Anyone who's been north of thw Whatford Gap, east of the M11 or West of the M6 know that England (never mind Britain) has never been a culturally coherent group of people.

Isn't this the setup for Casino Royale?

Stealing the horned sun-disk of Hathor is inadvisable unless one has a large quantity of red-dyed beer.

"Tulip bulbs can be a primary driver of prosperity".

Disney may have an opportunity to do the funniest thing here. . .

All of this.

All of this AND also people who have experienced pregnancy. No you cannot perch on a bar with a belly the size of a house!

I feel like irrespective of what's causing the heat, no one should be dying from excess heat in Europe. That should not be a thing because there are literally things we can do to prevent this.
