#Childfree weekend in London, with a dash of many fancy cocktails at #MaisonMiles, my friend’s new bar in North Acton. Starting during lockdown, Rollo began making gin, whisky, negroni, and many, many more tasty tipples. Check out their website here: maisonmiles.com

Write to your MP folks, tell them that new costs must be funded by new taxation that comes more from those who can afford it. The poor cannot pay for a problem caused by the super rich in the US

Isn't that what Starmer and Reeves are effectively doing or have I missed something?

UK politicians and media figures are calling for further cuts to the NHS and social programmes in order to fund "defence spending". They fail to ask: without a healthy society, who will defend us - and without those things, what exactly would we have worth defending? Quick 🧵

In other news, the Tory shadow defence secretary is on telly suggesting we target the welfare budget and more specifically, disability benefits, to increase defence funding. He suggests we need to become “more resilient”…

Key to the UK higher education crisis is that any whiff of financial concern energizes a Board of Trustees to shift from friendly advisors to aggressively interventionist. Every intervention is to impose the managerialism from their own sectors. It always fails, because universities are different.

Why do people use the word “quantum” rather than “amount”? 🤔

It's beyond Obama. The bigger truth is about Black progress in America in the 20th/ 21st century-- Black advancement helps open the doors for so many other marginalized groups to rise. They want to kill the path of govt/educational/ career advancement for EVERYONE not white, straight, and male.

Right. Transphobic asshats have got a petition to repeal the GRA to over 10,000 signatures. Fuck that. Let's get this one higher: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.

I can’t stop thinking about how Dr Nikki Alexander in Silent Witness continually professed as to how she loved her job and routinely overworked then, in the last ever episode she’ll appear in, couldn’t find a single friend to attend her wedding…

“Was it because of his skin color? Or his skill? We’ll never know…” Trump fires Black joint chiefs chair Hegseth accused of “DEI woke shit” I know BlueSky is supposed to be all nice and positive, etc, but more people should be reading about stuff like this… www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

What's the difference between firing someone "for DEI" and firing them because they are Black?

I have been trying to formulate some rules for giving good talks and fundamentally it’s this: tell a story. People like stories, and they will listen to you if they trust you are telling them.

Some folks have asked, given recent news, “how do I show my friends/family the impact of NSF?” We have some easy Fact Sheets for you! Here’s a brief thread about this website: new.nsf.gov/about/fact-s... which hosts a ton of useful one-pagers.

This Hegseth guy is a complete failure of the officer corps. Can you imagine what it was like to be a black guy or other non-white guy in a unit he commanded? If he fails this simple leadership test (quality of character), he fails them all, yet someone didn’t boot or frag him?
