All the posts on social media about profiting from the markets crashing are giving me the ick.

Can science comics help jury members understand complex forensic evidence? It seems they can! Great to have worked with @scicommsuwe.bsky.social student Izzy Baxter and @hdoran.bsky.social on this new research: jcom.sissa.it/article/pubi... #scicomm #forensics

These are stats from England. I worry what it looks like for Scotland. I’m glad Angus Council now has a focus on housing after repeated requests to declare a housing emergency. It’s a huge issue to fix but is one councils need to prioritise.

Starting 2025 with a pre school breakfast club that has closed due to lack of staff. This means I can’t get to work on time, can’t take the bus and then there’s no parking when I do arrive because I am late so I have to drive about and then use the council parking which costs £10 per day.

There are two places in the UK (no I am going to say the WORLD) where you can reliably get excellent tea. This is certainly the best tea on public transport by miles. I pick this train for the tea. The other place you can get a reliable good cup of tea is Greggs. Can you tell I have a day off?

A brilliant (and motivating) start to the day.

Whatever the outcome of the debate today in Westminster it is good to talk more about death. It is good to debate this. It’s good to think deeply about it. I hope it also encourages people to speak about death within their own families.

The current Scottish government isn’t delivering for the NHS in Scotland.

Kettling is not just a police tactic. At its core, current social media platforms compete with each other to gather together and keep as many eyeballs as possible. Their aim is to own the largest basket of eyeballs than anyone else and rent them out. AT Protocol has the potential to disrupt that.

Hi so right is this app just a bigger echo chamber than the other one? Or can it offer me the diverse viewpoints and content I crave from a social network? So far my made up curated feed is looking like a university message board. Prove me wrong.
