as September turns into October, we must, of course, remember to salute the anthem
a girl (me!) sits at her desk lit only by her computer monitor, with her hand on her heart, looking at her computer, which is playing Maisie Peters' There It Goes. The line "I wake up and it's October" is currently playing

and you thought this was a Green Day joke, didn't you?

relatedly: this rhetoric is not useful: it deters people from going to university, and "the government will make sure future increases [..] are linked to the quality of what is provided..." *WILL* kill universities. The sector is already on its last legs and the labour government will finish it.
screenshot of the BBC website, there's a section of a news article from 07:46 titled "Government to prevent university courses that are not good value expanding, says minister" followed by a getty images stock photo of students.

The government will take action to prevent university courses which are not a good investment from expanding, according to skills minister Jacqui Smith.

Smith tells BBC Radio 4's Today programme the government will make sure future increases to tuition fees are linked to the quality of what is provided by universities.

"For most people going to university is a very good and important investment in their future earning potential and in their life," she says.

The results students are receiving today follow an "enormous amount of hard work", Smith says, adding that it's important young people have "the opportunities to take the sort of pathways that will build on their strengths".

She says the government will improve the way students learn from age 14 so that if pupils want to focus on more practical skills they have the opportunity to do so.

discord server tags are so fun. not because they're particularly useful for their intended purpose (although I guess some people do use them as clan tags), but because people use them in hella funny ways I, for example, am a member of the novelty mug society.

The whole gang's here!
screenshot of a macos desktop, there are 6 ghostty terminal windows arranged in a 3x2 grid.

In each one apart from the last, the command 'hyfetch' has been run and is showing system information.
The first shows an Apple logo in trans flag colours, then the next four show the NixOS logo (kinda like a snowflake), also in trans colours.
The last is running neofetch and shows the debian logo, in white and red.
