Reposted by GerhaltRobert Saunders @robertsaunders.bsky.social · 30/09/2026It’s a mark of the corruption of our whole way of thinking about the world that trying to meet a planetary emergency is routinely described as “ideological”, while continuing to accelerate it is presented as “pragmatic” and “economic”. 221339478

Gerhalt @gregcoyote.bsky.social · 24/09/2026The people doing demand management at institutions are academics. I'll accept funders asking institutions to demand manage when institutions can ask funders to cover their teaching commitments in return 000
Gerhalt @gregcoyote.bsky.social · 24/09/2026It's a trial. Grant funding in the UK is pretty broken, with panels and reviewers overwhelmed. Time to grant is shameful and huge amounts of academic time is wasted in the current system. Personally I'm glad to see they are at least trying something, even if this isn't perfect 140

Gerhalt @gregcoyote.bsky.social · 14/09/2026One of my all time favourites. Of all the space movies, this may be the MOST space movie. The whole thing is about the challenges of operating in space, and accuracy is pretty good overall. One of the best depictions of humans in deep space. 010

Reposted by GerhaltWill Jennings📉🗳️ @drjennings.bsky.social · 11/09/2026It is completely right to treat the far right mobs roaming our streets as a national security issue. Government has been far too complacent about this for over two years now. This is interlinked with failures to regulate social media platforms and the collapse of domestic policing and intelligence. 418450
