And if Trump sets one foot on Scottish soil, thousands of us should be at the roadside holding Janey Godley’s sign. I certainly will. Hell we should mow it into the fields surrounding wherever he flies in from.

100% it was an orchestrated, premeditated ambush. It had one goal. To give the orange shitgibbon the pretext to withdraw all aid to Ukraine. Utterly despicable, and should be treated accordingly by every European Country. The US is no longer an ally, and Europe should treat it accordingly.

Good call. This utter cowardice should do to Starmer what D-Day did to Sunak and ‘that bigotted woman’ to Gordon Brown

Gotta say though that I’m impressed. I thought it would take a lot for me to despise this government as much as the last one. Yet they’ve managed to achieve it in just 8 short months. That takes some doing, you’ve really got to work at being that shit. It doesn’t come naturally.

Pass it on. #StandWithUkraine

Starmer is a fucking coward.

Give the shitgibbon a State visit and lose the next election. Simple as that And try to bring him to Scotland and we’ll block the roads. Give him his State visit on Taransay. Then leave him there.

So Kier, you still happy with how yesterday went? Still feeling pleased about mollifying that irange shitgibbon. Still going to put the UK through the embarrassment of another State visit? Really?

Trump getting a second state visit. 🍆 that 💩! And 🍆 this government for whoring this country out.

Argh for f**ks sake knock it off with the wrinkly hands.

I legit have Warhammer models older than Darren Grimes.

I’m glad Labour is supporting these workers, who are at risk of losing 400 jobs. Would be nice if they were also supporting university workers, where 10,000 jobs are at risk. In the first week of February alone 1,000 job cuts were announced. Nothing from Labour at all in response.

Serious question. How long before pubmed goes down? America’s next step on the road to enthickenment.

UCU balloting for strike action while the sector burns is just absolute peak UCU. I mean you’ve got to laugh…

We need a term to describe the ongoing state driven collapse of HE, by design in the US and by neglect in the UK. May I suggest the Enthickening?

Just seen a youtube advert for a mushroom based energy drink. “This is great, its got cordyceps in it!” Dude, I’ve played and watched The Last of Us. I ain’t going anywhere near your fungal zombie drink.

Still think we should, just for larks, start a conspiracy theory claiming antibiotics are a form of mind control. Then the USA can experience a 19th century healthcare system. Next they’ll bring back bleeding to remove black humours from the blood.

This is like putting a Great Unclean One in charge of health policy. Who better to run a country’s health systems than a worshipper of the Lord of plagues.

I really hope there’s going to be some real high level satire in the upcoming Amazon Warhammer 40k TV project. I want to see proper “Don’t go full Imperium of Man America. Because it really, REALLY won’t end well” vibes going on.

Yes I did name my pup after a 40k mini. I mean look at them. They’re practically identical in every way.

Going to propose a new university course on giving student feedback for their courses. In our course students are asked for feedback 10 times a year. Beginning to think we should drop the course content, and just send students a feedback survey each week.

Read our guide co-created with @denpruexeter.bsky.social & people with, & caring for, neurodegenerative conditions."What Works When Working Together?"describes best approaches to support people to be involved in research and policy #dementia #MND #HD #Parkinson's denpruexeter.nihr.ac.uk/resources/

As a 40k player all I can say is “oh my sweet summer child!” My Dark Angels alone would cost more than that. 'I've spent more than £3,000 on Jellycats' www.bbc.com/news/article...

At present if it does hit the response from millions will be “oh, thank god for that”

Help me. I have a problem…

This. Given the USA has decided to give up on the Enlightenment, the UK has a chance to become the World’s University. Instead our government is burying its head in the sand while the sector implodes.

When the orange baboon decides to slap tariffs on European goods, it should retaliate by banning US social media companies from operating in the EU. And slap a massive tariff on every Tesla sold.

I have 20 Rubric Marines to paint. The thought of painting all that gold trim is already haunting my dreams.

Really good meeting about developing new teaching yesterday, and a bid safely through to the next round. So this week now counts as a win. Important to celebrate any victory at the moment, no matter how small.

Time to build the patron Primarch of all academics. After all, we’re all the Thousand Son’s (and daughters) of the Changer of the Ways.
