In Bruges scene where Colin Farrell is pointing a gun at his head and Brendon Gleeson is also pointing a gun at Colin Farrell's head
Current status of the Strait of Hormuz dispute
When I say that what used to be Britain's university 'system' is in complete chaos and enduring revolutionary upheaval, I really mean it. If anything I'm underplaying the whole thing.

Of course speaking out is necessary but not sufficient.
But its the very least we should expect our government to be doing.
It's time to suspend all US military from UK soil.
And the clock is ticking.
It's now been 3 hours since our supposed "ally" Donald Trump threatened genocide on a country of 93 million people.
We've had absolutely nothing from the UK government.
This doesn't come in a vacuum either - every day the US & Israel have been murdering innocent people.
The leaders of the free world - leading liberal democracies - have a moral responsibility to organize a world wide boycott of #FIFA #WorldCup games in the U.S. and demand all matches be moved to Mexico and Canada. Same consideration should be in play for #Olympics in LA.
'We've still got 19% pay erosion compared to 2008'
Dr Emma Runswick from the British Medical Association spoke to #BBCBreakfast about the latest six day strike by resident doctors in England – their 15th in a long-running dispute over pay and jobs

The greatest irony is that the country the US was determined to be different from has a King with no power whereas the US has elected a King with total power.
I feel much more anger towards the British pundits & politicians who failed to understand the depravity & derangement of Donald Trump than I do the ones who failed to understand the idiocy of Brexit. But it doesn’t really matter because they’re exactly the same bloody people.

This is so, so well-articulated.
Steeds torpedeerde de VVD onze energie transitie met het argument dat alles wel 'haalbaar en betaalbaar' moest. We gaan nu VEEL MEER kwijt zijn aan de olie en gas die we met een energie transitie uberhaupt niet meer nodig hadden gehad.
Zo is hardwerkend Nederland in de steek gelaten door de VVD.
And Brunel actually opened up promotions again for this year. Which is a very encouraging thing and seems not the norm across higher education currently
Brunel employee here. Yeah it was a terrible year and terrible to see many people go. To counteract this though: recruitment was much better for 25/26 year, and for health sciences at least, admissions are also really good so far. So it’s definitely not all complete doom and gloom.
Om te huilen. Echt. CDA en D66; have you no honor?
Dit is zo waar. Bizar hoe een land dat zozeer afhankelijk is van internationale handel zo TOTAAL niet door heeft of wil weten hoe schadelijk dit soort opmerkingen zijn. Allemaal om te scoren bij de rechtse media elite (die ook zo echt weinig snappen van de wereld buiten hun eigen echoput)
🚨🚨special episode: I spoke to the UK’s former head of international energy strategy about what the war means for global energy supplies. It’s bad news, I’m afraid.

Of course no one from *checks notes* Sudan or Afghanistan could be in genuine danger.
Opsluiten van kinderen is schadelijk en zorgt voor trauma.
Onbegrijpelijk dat deze optie in de wet komt en wordt goedgepraat.

Just two days later we have 100s of signatures from across the University. That's all it takes.
So reach out to like-minded individuals at your institutions. Seeing if there is a similar document outlining your institutions AI Principles - contracting OpenAI, Anthropic or XAi is bound to conflict.
Dit is echt onverantwoord, een houding die doet denken aan de coronacrisis. We moeten ons voorbereiden op een grote disruptie van de wereldeconomie.

In a sea of opinions about the role of LLMs in academics I offer my own.
Apart from being harmful, exploitive plagiarism machines, LLMs rob us of the opportunity to experience the gift of friction in writing, which changes how we think.
We must not give away that gift.

52% of U.K gas consumption is for heating and cooking (mainly heating).
The Government committing to the simple task of delivering a heat pump, electric oven, and induction hob at every home in the land, to reduce emissions and increase energy security, should be a strategic national priority.
