Remember, The House of Commons education committee does not have any higher education issues planned….

This is sadly not surprising at all. We’ve been going backwards on this for what feels like a long time.

Neo-Nazis: This is a Nazi salute. Historians: This is a Nazi salute. Everyone online: This is a Nazi salute. Journalists: Musk gave a weird wave that's being interpreted in different ways. #TheChaser has more credibility than the mainstream news media. #ElonMusk #TrumpInauguration #USPolitics

How do the Labour Party think this is going to end? We’ve been subjected to managed decline for nearly 20 years & people have shown their opposition to neoliberal governance time & time again. Farage & worse are waiting in the wings, organised & ready to take over - this is perfect for them (again).

Academics from poorer socio-economic backgrounds are more likely to - not publish - have outstanding publication records - introduce more novel scientific concepts - less likely to receive recognition, as measured by citations, Nobel Prize nominations, and awards. www.nber.org/papers/w33289

My son is obsessed with The Beatles so to be able to take him to see Paul McCartney last night was an amazing experience. What a gig.

With Leeds Trinity and Loughborough we're now actually at 83, or exactly half of the 166 universities @timeshighered.bsky.social counts. HALF OF OUR UNIVERSITIES ARE SHEDDING STAFF. In a normal timeline, politicians would care about this and try to do *something*, *anything*, right?

This is a live page of all the redundancies, restructures, reorganisations, and closures taking place across the sector at the moment. Solidarity to all. This sector is vital to the country’s…

'Ewart Keep, emeritus professor of education...at the University of Oxford, told delegates at the Independent Higher Education conference that banks were the “invisible funder and regulator” of UK universities, and said questions would be asked about big spending decisions made in past years.' 1/5

Failed projects ‘mean banks less likely to lend to universities’

Another discussion based in supposed common sense and “seriousness” that exemplifies why capitalism will inevitably kill us. Happy Monday.

Wow. According to this image it looks like nurses - whose real-terms pay has declined by at least 20% since 2010 are responsible for driving up UK borrowing. Thanks for clearing that up BBCNews

Labour have already lost the next general election, and this is the reason why. @labourlewis.bsky.social is absolutely spot on here, & I can’t understand the ignorance & arrogance of the Lab leadership who think this is the right approach.

Abandoned the train after about an hour, came off my bike after going over some ice (I think). On the couch with an ice pack on my knee. So, all in all, not a great day!

I'll be continuing my incessant moans about the state of trains and public transport in the North of England on BlueSky as I did on twitter. Currently 40 minutes stationary with no sign of moving anywhere. Another day, another shambles. @northernassist.bsky.social

Years ago I worked as a digital designer for some children's homes & was in regular meetings where senior management discussed strategies for attracting higher risk / more complex kids. Not because they wanted to help them, but because those kids earned them more money. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Children's homes: Providers' 'exploitative' profits to be curbed

The new measures aim to stop private care home providers benefiting excessively from a stretched system.
