You might have heard me mention that 2027 is the European year of the Normans and @britishlibrary.bsky.social is now advertising its major exhibition for that. Think of it as the sequel to the excellent Anglo-Saxon ehibition several years ago. events.bl.uk/exhibitions/... #medievalsky 1/

I've always found the US fraternity and sorority system to be deeply weird, but I didn't know this 👇. You couldn't design a more perfect system for enabling SA if you tried. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
We know that the Greek system that sets the rules for most sororities and fraternities does not permit alcohol at sororities, which makes fraternities the hosts of the alcohol-saturated parties, which sends young women into enemy territory, which is where they are sometimes manipulated to get them drunk and stranded and abused.

Did you know that the quokkas, Australia's Apex Predators, have their own version of The Traitors? This is true. A group of preys are invited to Rottnest for a few tests and every night sit around to 'murder' or kick out a suspected traitor. All to win a $50 Coles gift voucher & a head start. Pie?

A man builds an IED. He sets it off in a busy public street. Shrapnel flies about hitting cars, homes and a child's bedroom. It's a miracle nobody is injured. And Reform MP Sarah Pochin calls his imprisonment "disproportionate" and "two tier justice."
It does raise this point of two-tiered
justice..


Reform's Sarah Pochin believes the
sentence handed to the 64-year-old who
blew up a ULEZ camera was
disproportionate'.

So good to see QUEER ORIGINS in my local public library! I love spotting the different ways that bookshops and libraries categorise the book. Some put it in their science section, others history, others (as here) LGBTQ. All are correct! 🌈📚🦋🗃️ #books #booksky #reading #histsci @yalebooks.bsky.social

The ability to pour hundreds of millions of pounds into a loss-making TV channel, bent on wrenching British politics sharply to the right, is yet another of the ways in which extreme wealth is trying to remake UK democracy. It needs to be part of any serious conversation about political funding.
