If we go to a Saints game, we can go to this pub and you can witness that meme come to life.

Good news, friends: I passed my PhD viva with no corrections! 😌🥳

Roerslev has been so bad since his arrival! We should have kept Bree.

😂

It was cruel of my father to indoctrinate me into supporting Southampton Football Club. We are awful.

Why is playing videos out loud and using loudspeaker in public acceptable again? Even among young adults! They were meant to save us from the depravity! They must have headphones!

Thanks to those who read the paper (some of whom I met on here). If anyone else wants to have a look, let me know. Thank you to @modalizing.bsky.social for the original idea. #philosophy

I'll be at the Joint Session, Glasgow, this July presenting my work on the single-genus view of #grounding & #causation.

The work has undergone a few interesting developments over the last few months. Not least, the proposal is now a positive one! I look forward to presenting my findings.

I'm glad football has moved on from the 'Vinnie Jones', 'I got the ball (maybe) but violently took you out' era. But in recent years we've seen a pernicious rise in off-the-ball fouls, which referees are letting slide. Reece James was just wrestling Rice. It's routine at corners. This isn't NFL! #PL

Microsoft's auto-adding up to £30 a year to 365 subscriptions for its AI software – but we've a trick to avoid it If you're a Microsoft 365 subscriber paying for Excel, OneNote, PowerPoint and Word, check if you have auto-renewal turned on, as your price is set to rise by up to £30 a year if so. But we've a way t...

By chance, I've discovered that Microsoft, the absolute bastards, are sneaking £25 onto our annual subscriptions. What for? Copilot! Here's how to revert back to the standard price: www.moneysavingexpert.com/news/2025/02....

Dear medical physics friends, our favourite isotope deservingly received attention on University Challenge today.

Male main characters in American TV shows of the 90s and 2000s had such great sex appeal. Think Jerry Seinfeld, Frasier Crane, Tony Soprano, Peter Griffin, Tobias Fünke, Homer Simpson, Doug Heffernan... Phwoar. How else can we explain the female company they kept?

False analogies are everywhere. Sam Warburton says the media isn't doing enough to promote the safety of rugby as a sport, claiming for comparison that heavyweight boxing matches wouldn't make it past round 2 or 3 given the same protocols. But boxers only fight a few times a year...

Olympics 2012: third of Team GB medallists came from private schools Dominance particularly evident in sports such as rowing where more than half of gold medallists were privately educated

Remember for the London 2012 Olympics that 'The proportion of privately educated Olympic winners (37%) is similar to that for MPs (35%), but less than leading journalists (54%) or judges (70%), according to previous Sutton Trust studies.'

We're well accustomed to the fact that academia, journalism, politics, etc. are filled with people of privilege. But, for some reason, it always hurts more when the domain is sport. The UK is great in many ways, but it's still very class-based.

I love the sass. I tend to show gratitude, but I only ever get that brainless 'you're welcome' talk back.

'DeepSeek brought me to tears': How young Chinese find therapy in AI Some young people in China are finding that AI can offer the unexpected - emotional support

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... When I first watched Her (2013, great film) I didn't realise how close we were to that story becoming a reality. In fact, film has been fairly prescient about AI. Let's just hope AI doesn't reach '2001: A Space Odyssey' levels.

Quarter of people in England had poor NHS care in past year, report says Survey for patient watchdog finds over half of those who made complaint were not satisfied with process or outcome

www.theguardian.com/society/2025... The NHS is already a key political issue in the UK. Yet we must give it even greater prominence.

I’ve had some really bad experiences recently. Furthermore, a complaint I made was dealt with so poorly. It seems I’m not the only one.

‘We’re all going on a Championship tour, a Championship tour’ 🎵

'Worst team in the Premier League era' kinda has a cool ring to it. #saintsfc

Sometimes I worry about my nostalgia. Attempts to experience the past can feel like attempts to cope with the present. I reflect on my memories a lot. I watch TV I used to like. I keep mementos. But doing so is arguably unhealthy—especially when done 'to excess'. Nostalgia ~ substance consumption.

And how did that go? Fries and salad I take it!

Wow, rejected even by her own publisher.

It's an age-old compromise between being honest, having integrity, and trusting the system and playing the game of trying to be heard.

On social media we like to think we're always being our good selves. But we curate and apply filters to our thoughts.

Conference organisers should stop asking for a biography (at the stage an abstract is submitted). It's elitist.

Welcome back, Sulemana. A talented player! We don’t have many. #saintsfc
