I think a good rule of thumb is to not elect a president who has an autograph, rather than a signature

Politics always swings left and right over time, but scarier than the right at the minute is that the left are heading for the middle to try to win voters back. This means both sides will just slide further right permanently. It's self-defeating.

I don't have that "savant" autism that's especially good at anything I have the "embarrassing" autism that makes me annoying and like a permanent 12 year old and even I get tired of it.

Have honestly never seen a merch line as long as the one tonight for @slipperyjack.bsky.social’s Green Lung designs. I now have two tour shirts because I was completely unable to decide 😁 incredible gig, impossibly perfect encore. 😍

You know, struggling with executive function while being generally kind of clever and well-spoken has given me a life where many people tell me "you're the smartest person I know" while I feel like an absolute idiot because I can't make myself get up and do the dishes.

Capitalism: - and because you’re poor, you’ll be buying your landlord a house. Me: I’ll be - you’re aware that I’m… poorer than them, right? Capitalism: Precisely! Me: and what do I get out of this? Capitalism: the warm glow of Contributing. ☺️

tfw you're writing a blog post with a title that references a Raymond Carver quote, except your actual cultural touchstone for it is in fact Due South fanfiction from the '90s...

"Anti-migrant politics will not build a single house, staff a single hospital or raise anyone’s wages. Instead, by echoing its rhetoric, the government is simply fuelling the rise of Reform UK" Well done to these Labour MPs, trade unionists, and members. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Hey it's me, Sonic the Hedgehog! Did you know that if you saved $100,000 a day every day from the birth of Jesus to today, you still wouldn't have 1/5th of Elon Musk's net worth? Does Elon Musk perform labor that is worth way over $100,000/day for 2000+ years? Or is something seriously wrong here?

6/52 this took way longer than it ought - bad brain days - and my reaction is mixed. I think I enjoyed it - it is a fantastic story - but the epilogue was the part that swung into ‘enjoy’ which is… late. The magical autistic trope made me hugely uncomfortable throughout, your mileage may vary.

I think it is sometimes hard not to feel hopeless so doing something together which will help feed children living in poverty gives me a little hope that together we can do small things, great things, things that matter, and things that make changes.

I have been enthralled all day with #GothsForBreakfast and haven't managed to skeet (fail) but the talk about long-form horror with @daviddemchuk.com is so wise and well structured, it feels like he's telling me secrets of writing that people have been keeping to themselves. I am verklempt.

What is required for membership? Very sincerely asking, what has Elon Musk done besides providing funding? My impression of him is that he thinks he’s exceptionally clever and… buys credit for things. If I’m missing out on evidence of genius I’d be very interested to see it!

'In the letter, made public on 10 February, Julia Black...says the “range of cutbacks we are seeing across universities is leading to a severe loss in UK capability".' Nearly 100 HEIs are “contracting or closing” social sciences, humanities & the arts disciplines “in the face of a financial crisis”.

I just watched Pig and enjoyed it rather. Prettier and weirder than I expected, but the emotional beats were clumsily done. Nic Cage is peak mumblecore these days, though.

I think the answer is, professors are specialists in their disciplines, not in pedagogy (unless they're teaching education!). Pedagogical specialists - educational developers - supporting the evolution of the student experience should never be a threat "at" academics: it's not about "good".
