One of the cutest things aging academics do is tag each other when they post the same thing on social media.

It’s revealing how deeply academic identity is entwined with institutional approval. People are made to prove their worthiness to speak—often by citing past grants or affiliations—even as they’re being stripped of the very support that once enabled their work.

I am a broken record on this point but I think it is important: the gap between how awful the British media and political class are and the actual British public is *huge*, you genuinely get an unrepresentative vision of how bad the UK is if you judge by these public phenomenon.
