It’s not the merriest of Christmases in Gaza and Santa doesn’t have much to give to children, but he still visits them, shakes their hands and listens to their stories. Spare a thought for how families in Palestine, the land where Jesus was born, are spending Christmas as you enjoy the festivities.

One Hundred of Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez is one of my favourite novels of all time. #Netflix recently released an 8-part series based on it. I’m too scared to watch as I expect them to have caricaturized the characters and butchered the story. Has any watched it? Did you like it?

As a #Muslim I think this is awful. #Islam values human #dignity and #equality above everything else. And dignity and equality is what the #LGBTQ+ community wants as well. To deny them that is unIslamic. #ManU should have followed on their plans to support the LGBTQ+ community. #sportsky #football

Graph of the day. For those wondering whether the over-performing Dutch universities need more or (even) less funding. This red line is the government investment per student. More, not less, funding is needed. #DoeHetNiet @woinactie.bsky.social source: @universiteitennl.bsky.social 🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥

#academicsky #academicchatter #phdsky High on the list of words I avoid using is “academician.” Sounds too much like “politician.” My preferred form is “academic,” which can also imply “moot” or “irrelevant.”

Their problem with Assad is his current alliance with Iran. Their problem with Assad isn’t his mass atrocities. Both the US and UAE are responsible for genocide in Gaza and Sudan - mass atrocities are not a concern for them.

Want to dip your toe into #programming? This free 6 hour intro to #Rstats online curriculum is a great entry point and we get good feedback when teaching it to researchers. Don't worry about the 'for ecologists' bit, that's just the flavour of dataset. #academicsky #research #science
