And what was it, 92% voted for action short of a strike? Since that could include a marking boycott, that feels even more significant.

So, yes, Edinburgh Uni staff have voted to strike. The more surprising story is that the University Senate – not exactly a rambunctious body – has voted no confidence in its executive. Truly wild times.

Two points about that leaked Labour NEC guidance. Neither, I am afraid, good. First, the author uses the (rare, outside transphobic discourse) words "transwoman" and "transman" which delegitimise as women and men people who are trans. Hard to believe this is by accident.

I adore those AI results that Google insists on placing above traditional search results. Today I learned that Her Majesty was able to ride the London cable car a quarter of a century before it was built. Royal privilege, I guess

❔Are you an immigrant at home in Scotland? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Now would be just the time to participate in my current research survey! It does not relate directly to events of this week, but it will help inform immigration debates. This survey is also open to other groups 🧵 hass.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

Racially abused by a legion of spoilt children who refused to grow up. That’s Europe’s legacy with immigration. A continent that has drained the world’s resources for hundreds of years yet has still become resentful at the outcome. It’s embarrassing.

“Only ten years ago we were the best in the world in the annual LGBTI Rights Ranking. We’re now 22nd... This is not just an embarrassment abroad – it’s also a tragedy at home for tens of thousands of people struggling to live lives of quiet dignity.” goodlaw.social/5mgp

Really incredible story unraveling in this thread, where Amazon and other sites have seemingly been able to sell an academic textbook that was withdrawn in 2021 and never actually printed or published, without the knowledge of the press, editors or contributors. Something has gone deeply wrong!
