Every socialist idea begins with the same simple truth: humans flourish when we care for each other. Everything else (the theory, the policies, the struggle) is just logistics.

Very striking that across Canada, it's Nous--an Australian consultancy with such a bad reputation in Australia that universities will lie to cover up their connection to them--that has been responsible for the destruction of morale, prestige, and profitability.

'Coventry is a great example' should have set off all the alarm bells.
Nous grab data, give the same generic powerpoint, know that cutting programmes doesn't reduce cost but do it anyway because it looks like 'tough decisions', & staff can't challenge because we're not given access to the data.

The consultancy Nous takes hundreds of thousands of pounds from universities, leaves the exact same path of destruction everywhere, and keeps trying to avoid transparent contracts.

‘Nousferatu’: the notorious consultancy advising Edinburgh uni amid 'huge' cuts
Scotland’s largest university has turned to Nous Group at the same time as it is making savings that could lead to nearly 2,000 job losses. Staff say they were misled about the extent of its work.

What is the Designated Sprayer? The person armed with a water bottle who will spritz you if you hog the Q&A time with a long-winded “this is more of a comment than a question” tirade.

while caffeine’s mechanism of action isn’t fully understood, a leading theory suggests that every 100mg you consume pushes you forward into a pocket dimension where you’re a little less sleepy. unfortunately, the old you is trapped in the sleepy dimension, forever. you might be there right now
