Not sure what to make of this. However, it does provide an opportunity to share this excellent horror re-cut www.instagram.com/reel/DBzcbov...

In the UK in 2024, a woman was killed by a man every three days. 2024 Killed women count: 80 #KilledWomen #CountingKilledWomen www.theguardian.com/uk-news/ng-i...

Honours for some men… oh, and a woman. Better fix that. @theguardian.com

This is an excellent and thought-provoking article about university value and impact. wonkhe.com/blogs/its-ti...

I imagine those concerned with their ‘indigenous’ identity mean only the right type? #PaveeLackeen. It’s depressing to see identities weaponised. Blaming Jonny Foreigner for economic woes or stretched services is predictable, but still dangerous scapegoating. Great piece @aislingwalsh.bsky.social

I’m the stylish one on the left, being carried by my late beautiful mother, my chauffeur is my dad in his ’If County Durham made Top Gun’ look. Circa 1985.

I hadn't realised the LGBA had done this. Absolute snakes. Quite right, Jimmy.

So predictable; worth noting that pre-92s 'produce' around 90% of all doctorates in the UK (two thirds in STEM btw), so if funding is overwhelmingly awarded to a sub-section of the student body, they're ringfencing academic and other PhD-oriented careers for the affluent. wonkhe.com/blogs/the-do...

In a bid to ensure I don’t fall into an echo chamber, I interacted on a thread with people outside of those I follow. Nothing political, nothing contentious. And still someone found a way to turn it into a personal attack. So 9 days into Bluesky, I’ve blocked my first person and retreated to safety.
