Absolute Units returns this Thursday! This time we're chatting to the wonderful Professor Paddy Bullard (University of Reading) and Isabel Hughes (Associate Director, The MERL) about Jane Austen, ahead of the 250th anniversary of Austen's birth next Tuesday. merl.reading.ac.uk/explore/abso...

so the other thing that is funny about this is that it probably would have been *less* stressful to simply express your ideas to a director and production crew and have them shoot some of these scenes than it would to explain it to a math problem

We've had a few enquiries come in after chatbots told researchers that we hold documents we don't actually look after so this is particularly relevant. If you're ever unsure, contact us directly or use our catalogue, linked below.

We are dealing with such corruption in every aspect of our government, I don't know how we undo the damage.

Babies are born with very low levels of vitamin K, a nutrient the body needs for blood to clot, leaving them at risk for severe bleeding early in life. In the early 1960s, hospitals in the United States began giving newborns a protective injection of vitamin K. www.nbcnews.com/health/kids-...

Pediatricians reject CDC advisers’ guidance, plan to continue vaccinating all newborns against hepatitis B Hospitals and health departments across the country say they're not planning to change their vaccination policy. www.cidrap.umn.edu/c...

Conspiracy theories are the research papers of the ignorant. Social media is where they publish those papers for peer review.

But can your Ph.D stand up to that one YouTube video he saw??? Didn’t think so.

I lost my job, there are no toys on the shelves, and the only hospital within 100 miles of my house just closed. But at least I know that now there won't be any non-binary characters on Paw Patrol.

Are farmers going to be on welfare for all 4 years of this Trump term, or just for 3 years like the first Trump term? We get you like voting for government handouts, but we are $38 trillion in debt.

To recap: •Rittenhouse killed 2 people at a BLM rally & raised $2M •Shiloh Hendrix called a Black child the n-word & raised $800K •Now Crystal Wilsey called a Black customer the n-word & has already raised $100K in 1 day On thing remains clear—White supremacy remains extremely profitable in America

Everyone in this phony photo-op is smiling - because you and I paid for the subsidies the farmers will get.

Voted “Most Likely to Ask For a Plunger at a House Party”

You’re literally paying “twice” for Trump’s tariffs.

oh hey look it’s the thing literally everyone said would happen

Jared Kushner's involvement was "not mentioned in Paramount's press release on Monday morning about its $108 billion bid, nor were participating sovereign wealth funds from Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi and Qatar." fancy that

I would prefer protection from predatory pricing and mandated easy refunds, thanks!

Justice Jackson to Solicitor General Sauer (just now, in Trump v. Slaughter arguments):

Every legal story now is either Ancient Circuit Judge Delivers Crystal Clear 100 Page Rebuke To Trumpist Overreach or In Unsigned Shadow Docket Decision, 6-3 Majority Declares Trump Can Hunt People For Sport

This whole book is a hate crime. She's burning a cross on the front lawn of the English language.

“This is absolutely a racist weaponization of ICE against an entire community.”

How can she resign from a role she did not have?

Alina Habba was first ruled to be playacting as US Attorney on August 21 (though she had already been playacting at that point since July 1). So taxpayers have paid for Alina to pretend she's US Attorney for 109 days.

The Trump administration just announced they will refuse to release the October inflation report.

It is really, really hard to get your head around the raw hubris of the majority. They really will be destabilizing the operating structure of the entire U.S. government. Why? Because they believe they have a better idea about how the past century should've been done.

TODAY: Our team is at SCOTUS representing FTC Commissioner Rebecca Kelly Slaughter in her challenge to an unlawful firing by the Trump admin. The Court’s ruling could reshape dozens of independent agencies that protect us all from powerful corporate interests — impacting homes, businesses and more.

🤬🤬🤬

He looks terrible. You’d think after all the Biden health accusations, the GOP would want to know what was wrong with Trump. But nah, crickets.

yeah it's like banning abortion doesn't stop abortions it just makes a black market.

Not many people know that Annoying Orange got his inspiration for content creation from his grandfather, Gentleman Orange, seen here toasting absent fruits on today’s Victorian Christmas card.

Every time Trump posts one of these rants, somewhere in America a kindergartner thinks, ‘Wow, I handle conflict better than that.’”

This lady was the Steve Jobs of the Online Death Threat Industry for like 10 years. Not to be a dick, but fucking spare me.

Yes. This.

Marjorie Taylor Greene complaining about being bullied.

NEW on CNN: In several old videos we found, Pete Hegseth blasted Trump in 2016 warning he could issue unlawful orders that troops should refuse, calling him an “armchair tough guy” with five draft deferments. Now he’s attacking Democrats for saying same. LINK: www.cnn.com/2025/12/08/p...

Preach!!!!!

The real problem with “everyone we bombed was on our list” is was the boat they bombed where they repatriated two survivors not on a list?
