Apparently the first task of a appointee is to try and get their contract activated. Achievement (partially) unlocked… 😬

is a busted flush. The GOP would have to be off its rocker to endorse a convicted felon and sex offender as their candidate. He must be under intense pressure behind the scenes to step aside. But who would they replace him with? 🐘

This is what we normally call ‘community service’ and it’s a sentence conferred upon young offenders. The Tories literally want to criminalise youth. 😳 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cpddxy9r4mdo.amp

“To see how far we have sunk, look into our rivers and coastal waters. Or rather don’t. Because they have turned brown with raw sewage. An island nation where we fear to venture into the sea, because the Tories have turned it all to shit.” https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/may/24/punishment-election-tories-voters-lies

Honestly, they couldn’t even organise someone to hold an umbrella over the Prime Minister. What a joke. ☔️ #ToryBritain #ToryIncompetence #GeneralElection2024

Twitter.com is now X.com. It’s the end of an era. 🐦🪦 😢

Just a reminder that adding “young” (or “old”, for that matter) in a job ad is discriminatory. Why not write down something that the candidate can actually work on improving instead, and that has something to do with the job you’ll ask them to do?

keithwilson,

@elduvelle Agreed. Ageism has no place in academia (or anywhere else for that matter). As an ‘older’ early-career researcher, I find it frustrating to see ‘Young Researcher’ associations, awards and grants that I’m not eligible to apply for despite being at the same career stage as my younger peers. It’s unnecessary discrimination. 🤷‍♂️

The saying the quiet part out loud. What they and many other self-proclaimed advocates of ‘free speech’ want is not to be shunned or criticised for their views. But freedom from the (predictable) consequences of your actions is not a right. It’s a privilege.

@mackuba I created a shortcut that semi-automates it, though you still have to click post on X and paste into Bluesky.

keithwilson,
@keithwilson@mastodon.social avatar

@mackuba Here’s a screenshot to get you started. 😜 (I’m using Ivory, but it also works with the Mastodon app. Bluesky doesn’t yet support shortcuts so you have to create a new post and paste in the text manually, but the shortcut makes it easier.)

@keithwilson@mastodon.social avatar

@mackuba You could certainly make a version just to post to X and Bluesky, which might speed things up a little. Unfortunately neither of those apps fully supports shortcuts, so there would be some manual action required.

A lot of European countries have this weird addition to dairy and egg. What’s up with that? 🤔 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-68944117
