we all know I have no life, so:

Lovely, shared it with our nematode researchers!

For those who missed it: this was the moment The Strokes ensured they’ll never be invited back to Coachella again! I'm so proud of them

And that the shared brain cell and spine are certainly not with Mahmood. She is probably barred from touching them.

I wouldn't let her make the tea.

That sounds like the Murphy's advert and not being bitter...

With my Dutch name, it happens and I make sure they are aware and implicate the consequences of not instructing/disabling their autocorrect.

But HR should know better.

Sorry they treat you all so callously.

The Civil Service Code, Sir Oliver “Olly” Robbins told Parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee, is one of two documents he has committed to memory “along with the Book of Common Prayer”. Both works urge readers to bend themselves to the will of a higher power known for expressing its wishes obliquely. Only one of them suggests that the authority in question is the same yesterday, today and forever. Robbins was giving evidence on Tuesday because he’d fallen victim to a more worldly power. This time last week he was running the Foreign Office, and a year ago he gave the prime minister what he wanted by clearing Peter Mandelson to become US ambassador. We now learn that this wasn’t what the prime minister wanted at all, and on Thursday evening, Robbins was cast into the outer darkness, where there is wailing and gnashing of teeth. He is not, it’s fair to say, taking this very well.

"The greatest trick Mandelson ever pulled was convincing Number 10 that Wikipedia didn’t exist."

Lovely burn!

My super department @warwicklifesci.bsky.social is hiring 6 assistant profs in the wake of recent retirements. We're looking for people in microbiology/infection, cellular disease / immunity; environmental biology; and plant/crop science. #MicroSky warwick-careers.tal.net/vx/lang-en-G...

How about the Doyle revelation? It shows a PM who is unaware of the dodginess of his favourites.

Bad judgement...

King says late Queen may have been ‘troubled deeply’ by world we live in The final design for a statue of the late Queen Elizabeth is to be unveiled, 100 years after her birth.

But she was not troubled by protecting a pedophile son.

Yes, I am considering that as well.

Still need to spend consultancy money on a computer before I semi-retire!

Yes, my uni wants me to become an AI-slave. Our VC sends out an email how great it is, curriculum must include it, etc.

I keep fighting back.

Yes, the Soundcore app has this as well. I do NOT want any of that shit. Don't even want the ability.

No smart speakers either...

Two hooded figures with lamps approach a moonlit, isolated cottage. A woman answers the door. We have come for the child, says the hooded figure So soon? she asks It is time, says the hooded figure. The woman is distraught. We should never have got him a library card! What is done cannot be undone, says the hooded figure We couldn’t see the harm! We just wanted him to enjoy reading! For most, it ends there, says the hooded figure, turning away and walking into the wilderness Oh lord, What have I done! says the woman, the child walks past her and out into the darkness with them. Do not cry mother. I am a writer now.

This Is Just To Say

I have turned off
the AI features
that were in
the update

and which
you were probably
hoping
to monetize

Fuck you
they were stupid
so unnecessary
and so annoying

First #Starmer wanted Mandelson
I laughed of in disbelief
Because everyone knows the dirty f***er

Then Starmer denied knowing about the Epstein links
He was lying
Because even the dumbest know about Pervy Mandy

The Starmer faked an apology to the Epstein victims
Without doing penance
<bleeeep>

First Starmer fired his advisers
I said nothing
Because those <bleeps> deserved it

Then Starmer fired Olly Robbins
I said nothing
Because he f*cked up with Brexit

Then Starmer blamed other civil servanta
I frowned
Because aren't politicians supposed to take responsibility?

#Starmer is a coward

It's going to be even worse the next time they appoint Peter Mandelson

Not only that, but it also leads to a perverse push to get those lower in the food chain off papers (undergraduates, technicians). No one will dare to push the powerful, non-contributing professor off, but a technician is easier.

Starmer addressing MPs over Mandelson row after No 10 suggests he inadvertently misled Parliament - follow live Starmer is facing calls to resign from opposition leaders after saying

www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/ce...
"I take responsibility for that decision, and I apologise again to the victims of the paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, who were clearly failed by my decision."

How is he taking responsibility? What penance will he do?

#Starmer

That is currently beyond their understanding horizon.

It just needs to sound mean and nasty.

They don't care.

I suddenly had this today on my #Samsung S6 Lite tablet. #Office365 Teams, Outlook etc not working anymore. Cleaned them, uninstall, reinstall etc, nothing.

Samsung f***ed up something major. Solution: clear data and cache of Android System Webview. Bad Samsung, bad!

They could have stopped it. They could have replaced the bigoted idiot leading OfS. They could have changed the remit of OfS. They could have disbanded OfS (would have been a good idea, together with Ofsted).

Instead: nothing.

I hate Al and I refuse to use it Peter, if you don't use Al a bunch of super rich men will lose a lot of money I already said I hated Al Harry, you don't need to sell it to me

There are many copies of me in this picture.

Don't be shy to take on a little two-week side project. These five months will be the most precious three years of your academic journey.

Forcing?

Labour chose to go full xenophobia and hate. Nobody forced them, ot was all their own cowardice, lack of spine etc.
