Good for them. Shame they lost such a valuable educational opportunity. The money won’t make up for that.

Tbf, that absolutely looks like a fucked up Stimpy.

This so much more important than the Scottish budget. I mean, who cares about 5.5m people?

… that many wanting independence would go back to the SNP?

*I have no expertise in this or knowledge of the research around it.

I’m clueless and still trying to get my head around Scottish politics. Does the vote share for the Scottish Parliament elections mirror general elections?

I feel* that a lot of people voted Labour in Scotland to ensure the Tories couldn’t get back in, even in coalition. It seems unsurprising…

I’m waiting for someone to post how they met a celebrity food blogger who gave them a recipe for beef cheeks

A particularly nefarious disinfomation campaign is underway: fake fake videos.

To discredit catastrophic news from Gaza, pro-Israel accounts denounce low quality generated by AI videos "with millions of views".

Need this for all the companies running Facebook ads on neo-nazi pages/groups.

@slpng-giants-fr-2.bsky.social hi there, is there any way of pressuring Facebook advertisers to stop advertising given their ads end up on neo-nazi pages? I recall Sleeping Giants being a powerful tool but not sure how to counter this on Facebook?

No longer can I amaze my non-academic pals by telling them about how academic publishing works to fuck over everyone. About time really.

The reason they're so focused on trans teens is that people who transition younger typically blend into society better. To the extent that they're willing to tolerate our existence in society at all, they'd rather we be easily identified by our appearance/voices/etc.

Cis people really have no idea how it feels to watch a regime hold a press conference to admit, on camera, the pogrom against trans people they've been waging for 11 months is not only real, but they're going to double down on genocide and try to wipe out all the children first.

LMFAO! Wordle turns you into an assassin?

When is government going to step up & start limiting numbers of SMT/SET in universities? Like gremlins they proliferate with their bloated salaries & pensions as they cut & bleed the people who actually make the organisation function. Absolute parasites.

Levee on Green River fails in Tukwila; get to higher ground immediately A levee has failed on the Green River, and people who are in low-lying areas of Kent, Renton, and Tukwila should move to higher ground immediately.

Dear god. If you live in Tukwila, Renton, Kent or Auburn WA in the valley, a levee just broke. 40k are on GO NOW orders. Please share and get ahold of your people. This is terrifying. www.kiro7.com/news/local/l...
