Depends which side of the rabbit-proof fence you live on really.

* 10th anniversary. You don't need to include the word 'year' because that's implied by the 'anni' bit of anniversary.

The DNLR really ought to be the name of a railway.

As I think John Crace pointed out, he must be the final nail in the coffin of the theory of nominative determinism.

Grift.

That is gloriously cool! Except the brake, not convinced by that.

Could you ask him if he found any missing bits of Lego?

Photo's a bit creepy.

Before I zoomed in on the image I thought it said delicatessen and undertaker. Which was quite disturbing.

Have you considered that Word might have quit on you because its spell-checker can't manage middle-English?

McNastyface @mcnastyface.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

Doesn't seem right to click the 'like' button on your post. Looks horrendous.

May will forever be linked to the decision to implement the staggeringly stupid Brexit in the most staggeringly stupid way possible. I don't think she has a reputation to launder.

DARVO, innit.

It didn't really prepare me to deal with the price of housing either.

When I first moved to Australia I was absolutely baffled by sports reports on the radio news, when presenters would launch into a match report using only the nicknames of the teams and not even mentioning what sport they were talking about. Roy and GH absolutely nail this.

Bring it on

What, you want them to commit journalism?

McNastyface @mcnastyface.bsky.social · 04/08/2026

There is a Guardian article which is quite good and Retraction Watch also wrote a good one

McNastyface @mcnastyface.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

An international scandal.

McNastyface @mcnastyface.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

Happy Birthday! Keep up the good work.

McNastyface @mcnastyface.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

It does all seem a bit implausible...

As I cycled home past my local Servo last night I noticed that prices were already above pre-war levels.

McNastyface @mcnastyface.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

Even the "ideologically captured academics" you fear should ensure that the basic rules of academic integrity are followed. It's perfectly valid to critique a thesis on the basis of its ideas/methods/conclusions, but it becomes indefensible if it was just copied from someone else's work.

McNastyface @mcnastyface.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

It is unfortunate that this issue was brought to the public's attention by those with a nefarious agenda, however a cursory look at some of the evidence suggests that Arday did *not* quote and cite sources appropriately. At the very least there should be proper investigation.

McNastyface @mcnastyface.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

Retraction Watch also wrote about it. The plagiarismtoday one misses some of the issues around fabrication/falsification of data that really need a careful examination.

McNastyface @mcnastyface.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

It's all so *stupid*

McNastyface @mcnastyface.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

"... joining us from his prison cell..."

McNastyface @mcnastyface.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

I think this article misses some of the other issues with Arday's work, where there appears to be fabricated data, as outlined by retraction watch. So yeah, the motives of some of his accusers look very suspect, but...

McNastyface @mcnastyface.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

Maybe it's a rounding error?

McNastyface @mcnastyface.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

I could probably Google that myself, eh .

McNastyface @mcnastyface.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

Wasn't there a military coup in 1974?

McNastyface @mcnastyface.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

I was thinking more like "Portugal: WTAF?!"

McNastyface @mcnastyface.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

I think you might be backing the wrong horse here GLP. While it is unfortunate that this issue is being pushed by people with an agenda, the academic evidence against Arday appears quite convincing.

McNastyface @mcnastyface.bsky.social · 28/07/2026

Cry havoc! and let slip the cats of war!

McNastyface @mcnastyface.bsky.social · 28/07/2026

Think I'll leave it under the mattress, thanks all the same.

McNastyface @mcnastyface.bsky.social · 26/07/2026

Damn, didn't see your message until Sunday evening. Too late to have a good weekend now...

A business masquerading as a political party...

McNastyface @mcnastyface.bsky.social · 25/07/2026

It really is an instrument for making us more stupid. If Uni students are using it to write for them (and believe me, they are), they aren't learning to argue, write and therefore think.

McNastyface @mcnastyface.bsky.social · 25/07/2026

There ought to be a prize for being so consistently wrong. How about calling it the Hannen prize?

Just wait for the jobs boom fixing all the fuck-ups caused by AI
