Aww grok still won’t talk to me.

We used to be able to go on a bike ride to the next county 15 miles away, using the main roads, without an adult, and no one would care.

Looks like Grok is happy to talk to me about Warhammer 40k army lists, but not about creating pornographic deepfakes of children

I’ve had thought Reform would be well up for a clearly pro natalist policy. Or are they like a all far right parties - they want (white) women to have more kids. But don’t gibe a shit about them once they are born.

So we knew the US had decided it no longer wants to be a maritime and mercantile empire based on military alliances and global free trade. Now we know its decided it wants to be a 19th century style continental, colonial power. It won’t end well for anyone.

BBC Scotland features an article on our work with people with dementia to develop teaching for nursing students, led by people living with dementia. I lecture nursing students about my dementia - I want to show it can happen to anyone www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

We found similar findings from Scittish projects making direct payments to care experienced young people and people living with dementia in Scotland. Funnily enough both groups can and ro make excellent decisions about their needs and how the money can help them meet them.

This shit has been going on for 7 years now. No one in any UK govt, tory or lab can actually make a grown up, serious decision about what we do now post brexit. So we continue in this purgatory of stagnation and decay, a country with no clue about what it wants to be, or what to do to get there.

Lolling at the ludicrousness of the orange manbaby suing the BBC for $10bn. This is literally Trump suing the UK taxpayer, expecting us to cough up $10bn into his back pocket. There is no way in this world that any UK Government could allow that to happen. They’d pass legislation to stop it.

Anyone else drowning in peer review journal article requests at the moment. I’ve honestly lost count of the number I’ve received in the last week. I’m happy to do as many as I can but at this rate it’d become a full time job to do them all.

When a government decides to destroy its universities, it is making a statement about its future. It sees no need for a people educated in the sciences, the arts, history or culture. It sees no reason for research and innovation. It sees no reason to better itself. It has given up on its future.

Grant Gibson @drgrantgibson.bsky.social · 24/11/2025

What’s saddest is the missed opportunity. As the USA decides to turn its back on the enlightenment the UK could become the world’s university. Instead we’re going to shoot ourselves in the leg, again all because forriners = bad. Worst is the public generally support people coming here to learn.

Grant Gibson @drgrantgibson.bsky.social · 24/11/2025

Our uni leaders need to grow a backbone and tell the govt they aren’t just going to play anymore while the govt lets us all burn. I’d love to see the entire sector just downs tools. No teaching, no research, no admin and no participation in any administrative requirements forced on us by govt.

Grant Gibson @drgrantgibson.bsky.social · 24/11/2025

I can feel another letter bollocking the lunacy of the Govt’s latest HE policy announcement is about to be sent to my local MP. And I sincerely hope our VC has rung him this morning to do the same.

Grant Gibson @drgrantgibson.bsky.social · 23/11/2025

I’d love to see UUK, UCU, UCEA, the Russell group, the funding councils, research charities, hell pretty much every university stakeholder to stand together and say to the Govt in one voice - Stop fucking around with our universities. You are destroying us, and you will miss us when we’re gone.

I mean are we in a race with the USA to see which of us can be the most unattractive to overseas students. The UK has decided to ruin one of the best economic sectors we have simply because forriners are bad. For fucks sake.

This is the kind of lost economic growth you’d expect to see in countries under long term economic sanctions. We voluntarily chose to sanction ourselves.

Being asked to send an end of module feedback survey several weeks before the module ends. This is the third (or maybe fourth) request we been told to send out. We pretty much send a request after every interaction with students. And guess what. Most students don’t complete them. Well duh.
