Is this even satire?

Excellent analysis of the UK HE #VLE market by @neilmosley.bsky.social - always worth a read, comprehensive overview of developments through 2025 #Blackboard #Canvas #D2LBrightspace #Moodle www.neilmosley.com/blog/uk-high...

I've never seen this before, but it's SO perfect.

The weird time of day when there are NO trains at Brighton Station.

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

For the love of Pete.........

I do miss Minnesota for strange rituals like this. In the UK they chase cheese down hills. But it looks more painful than watching an ice carousel with luminarias.

I wish this were not SO very true. The state of UK HE is just dire.

Why do you have to do the most perfect 'snark' on a Wednesday when I should be doing something else??? Hahahaha....

For crying out loud... Why don't the Tories just finish with it, and ALL move to Reform en masse. Get it over with. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I know we're all seeing 87 unhinged things per day, but "guys if our multi billion dollar product doesn't start being useful for something, literally anything, the people might not appreciate us wrecking the planet over it anymore" is a truly bananapants thing to say out loud

I've already signed... If you're a UK resident/citizen... Please do so as well!

Robert Jenrick helpfully lists all the things he didn't do during his 10 years in government.

The HE sector is full of people who instinctively view Labour as their natural home and natural representatives. They are not, and they deserve to lose the votes of every single person who works for a university, studies at a university, or lives in a university town.

I went to Minneapolis last week. What I saw was horrifying and inspiring in equal measure. Gift link to my latest column: www.nytimes.com/2026/01/19/o...

ICE ended up returning the man, Saly, after realizing he’s a fucking US citizen with no criminal record, per his sister-in-law. These fucking animals.

This makes no sense… An MP can wake up one morning, ditch the party you elected them for, & sign up to a completely different manifesto… No thanks If they defect to a different party, we should get a vote Sign the petition & help make that law. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

The Venn Diagram of the Tories and Reform is basically just a single circle. <sigh>

So much this... Waking up in GMT is becoming depressing.

THIS!!! 👇 I mean... For crying out loud!

The best time to get off X was when Musk took over twitter. The second best time is now. Get off X

As millions struggle to afford daily life, Government departments are being told to redirect £1.8bn from essential services to fund state surveillance and control via Digital ID. "A toolkit for authoritarians that must be stopped" @sianberry.bsky.social on Labour's plans for Digital ID

SRSLY??? Come ON... Ban X. Get off of X. UK gov and Universities??? GET OFF OF X! Cripes!

It’s January 6th! Happy klanniversary to all those who incelebrate!

This poem is dedicated to anyone heading back into work and having to endure dull conversation about what they got up to during the Christmas holidays.

It's difficult to argue with ANY of this thread. Well said, sir!

Vital piece on how the OfS Sussex fine and the Supreme Court ruling have created an even more hostile environment for trans people in UK universities. As Chris Parkes says: if the expected EHRC guidance is adopted, "people are going to get hurt". 1/2

Parliament has opened an "Open Consultation" on the Goverment's horrific changes to immigration to the UK. I read Shabana Mahmood's "Statement" about the consultation and had a rage moment. Please have a look, and help by adding your voice. www.gov.uk/government/c...

Me, in The Guardian today: "This is a moment that requires bravery in standing up for what is right. Organisations that value trans people should know not just that the law is on their side – but so, also, are many people who will step up to defend them if they have the courage to take a stand."

The University of Brighton is a lovely place to work/study if one is LGBTQ+ adjacent. But then, the whole town is pretty all right.

Uff da. Well played... Well played.

This man may be the most racist president this country has ever had, and twelve presidents owned slaves

One of my best friends has just resigned their role in Girl Guides, due to their new TERFy policy of excluding trans-girls and trans-women from the organisation. She shared this petition, and I thought I'd help spread the reach. c.org/FGMyhp4GcY

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

@nesrinemalik.bsky.social Thank you for so succinctly writing down the exact points we’re all thinking about. #immigrant www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Today on #TransDayOfRemembrance we remember our trans siblings who have lost their lives to transphobia, hatred & violence…🧵

Had a lovely commute on the train this morning. All due to THIS GUY! (Other passengers blurred for privacy)

The basic problem with the temporary refugee status policy - especially one lasting up to 20 years - is it leads to very few removals (based on Denmark's experience) but does significantly worsen integration.

The call is coming from inside the house

@davidallengreen.bsky.social nails it again. A possible "BBC Response" to the Drumpf-Billion Dollar lawsuit. davidallengreen.com/2025/11/the-...

It should be illegal to be this stupid

You know you've been 'Monday'ed' when you realise the first chance you have to check your Bluesky is at 15:40 in the afternoon. #TheEmails #TheWork #TheMadnessOfItAll

O_o #Brighton

I'm sure you're ALL very surprised I'm sharing this. Not!

The world’s first trillionaire initiated a move that has left more than half a million people dead, most of whom are children.

So, through the magic of social media, I was fed this article by Politico and I didn't identify with ANY of it. Nor did it reflect any of my friends, colleagues, nor fellow X-ers. I dont' even know how to respond. #BleedingHeart www.politico.com/news/magazin...

Zohran's campaign was his determination to make New York a city everyone can afford to live in. Huge congratulations! His success will resonate throughout the world. A story where no one is left behind. It's time to write that story across England & Wales too.
