You’ll love the feature where you can search for an email you received last week and it swears blind that not only does it not exist, the person who has sent it to you has never emailed you ever.

What was that quote from Stevenson again? "Nobody is expecting there to be a "toilet police" but everyone should "follow the rules"" It turns out the rule was "you're not allowed piss at work"

Temperatures have now provisionally exceeded 37°C 🌡️ Before 2026, the UK had recorded 37°C or higher on only six occasions. This year alone, we've already reached that mark three times.

A table of top temperatures so far. The highest currently at 37.6°C at Charlwood.

The Society will write up a summary for History for next week. Key points at this stage include: > 11% decline (-440 FPE) across all History staff between 2018/19 and 2024/25, compared with a 7% decline across all humanities > loss of 140 FPE History roles 2022/23 to 2024/25 #Skystorians 1/3

Screen shot from British Academy mapping SHAPE staff resource, showing change in History staff between 2018/19 and 2024/25. A loss of 440 FPE or 11% of the total.

UK folks, let's jump on this AI regulation petition the Society of Authors emailed out! It's an actual parliament one so the government HAS to respond if it reaches the signature threshold. It calls for regulations to make AI developers disclose copyrighted works trained on. Sign & repost!! ❤️

Oh, no reason.

The trouble with you, Spode, is that just because you have succeeded in inducing a handful of half-wits to disfigure the London scene by going about in black shorts, you think you're someone. You hear them shouting 'Heil, Spode!' and you imagine it is the Voice of the People. That is where you make your bloomer.
What the Voice of the People is saying is: 'Look at that frightful ass Spode swanking about in footer bags! Did you ever in your puff see such a perfect perisher?

You really can’t overstate the significance of this diagram in understanding the U.K.’s political paroxysm. Also, having understood it, you are now better informed than every U.K. politician and media outlet. Check out the very detailed write up explaining how it was created.

Um, it’s a diagram where the lines in the left are 2024’s voting intentions and the lines in the right are the 2026 local election results.

It shows that more Labour voters left for the greens (16%) than for Reform (2%). The biggest bloc of Reform voters came from the group who didn’t previously vote for anyone.

Let's look at what's happening at some universities, shall we? What about Aberdeen, Nottingham and Wolverhampton, quite a good cross-section? Oh. How could a whole country be so thick and useless as to smash one of the jewels in its crown? 🤷‍♂️

So we know when something *becomes* history, right? But what about when it *stops* being history? There's got to be moment where it happens, logically. I don't know if we've reached it yet. Have I? Have any of us? The fear grips my heart like a vice. [Judge]: I meant questions about the trial

Most of the media reflects neither reality nor public opinion. It reflects the views and demands of those who own it: the Oligarch Class. They employ editors and journalists to channel their demands and sell their fictions. Hence the endless attacks on net zero. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Rightwing narrative fuelling false belief UK public oppose net zero, study finds

Reform, Tory and some media rhetoric runs contrary to poll showing far more voters for net zero than against it
