  Why isn't Cofnas in the news as much as Arday was? Here's an academic that showed genuinely questionable (and quite frankly despicable) behaviours that ultimately led to the death of a fellow academic... #jasonarday

  I just realised this morning that the climate crisis doesn't affect billionaires because they can afford to live wherever they want and get the food they want to eat whenever they want shipped directly from wherever that can still produce them. They don't have incentive to change anything - rather they don't want things to change coz that would potentially hurt their income. What bothers me is that so many of us that will be affected are convinced by billionaires. #climateCrisis #cli...

  I don’t know if everyone’s forgotten but the only reason Farage got to where he is now is because of the media. He wasn’t an elected MP for decades yet was spotlighted in the media all that time… https://www.theguardian.com/media/2026/jun/02/uk-political-chaos-not-medias-fault-say-journalists #ukpol #media

  It's very strange how covid exposed a lot of things - like how governments could just spend without having the money, or how that money then flows to the wealthiest in society, or how work (and life) can slow down but won't collapse society - but we seem to have chosen to have not seen all that and gone back to the way it was and then turning the dial to 11...

  This is ridiculous. ParkRun is a run not a race. Women don’t compete against women. Neither do men compete against men. It’s also held at parks, out in the open. It’s a run, not a race! #parkrun #transrightsarehumanrights https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/great-britain-english-people-british-lisburn-b2963519.html

  FSS - I hate voice command like Alexa...Why does everyone love voice command so much? I tried to set two timers by "Alexa, set two timers, 30 min and 40 min" but Alexa set one timer at 1 hour and 10 min. It took forever to cancel that one because I couldn't quite articulate "one hour and ten minutes".

  “Schools, colleges and universities need to catch up too. We cannot keep preparing people for a labour market that no longer exists. That means more emphasis on critical thinking, work experience, interdisciplinary learning and real-world exposure to how AI changes jobs, not just how it performs tasks.” Universities have been doing this like forever. It’s the media that’s been pushing the narrative that technical skills get you jobs and make your career. https://www.lbc.co.uk/article/learn-to-...

  There’s a massive misunderstanding about how Japanese eat noodles. We don’t slurp it up, we inhale it. There’s a huge difference. The former makes a wet slurpy sound, but the latter is a sharp airy sound. #japan #ramen #food

  I can easily name someone who's been showing "micro aggression" towards and bias against me over many years, but I won't be able to convincingly give you a solid concrete example of what exactly they've done. Such is the nature of micro aggression and that is why it's called micro aggression. #microaggression

  When you try to “educate” people on micro aggressions, unconscious biases and casual racism, one of the most common responses you get is, “Why do you perceive those things as being bad?”, suggesting that it’s a problem with the people receiving micro aggression rather than with those doing the micro aggressions. Another common response is that micro aggression is a misnomer and that it’s not aggression. Well it is. They just don’t get it coz they’ve never experienced it. #microaggression

  All these terrible subscription based services or unnecessary shift towards them (like printer cartridges or car options) are a feature of capitalism not a bug. Capitalists don’t need to (or even want to) sell you actual products; they’d rather extract rent from you. #capitalism #subscription

  SVPCA is not extinct. After a year off in 2025 and a period of silence, organisers of recent SVPCA have met with other interested parties to discuss future symposia, including provisional plans for a meeting in late August or early September 2026. More details to follow very soon. #SVPCA #zoology #palaeontology #paleontology #science #comparativeanatomy
