The year is 2040. There are 50,000 undergradutes enrolled on maths courses, all of them are at Imperial or Warwick, and none of them want to become a teacher.

Any politician who talks about "rip-off degrees" but not the existential crisis facing maths departments at low tariff unis should not be taken seriously.

Why do authoritarian states charge political opponents with non-political crimes? In our @thejop.bsky.social paper with Jennifer Pan & @yiqingxu.bsky.social, we examine how *Disguised Repression* undermines opponents’ moral authority and mobilization capacity. doi.org/10.1086/7342...

out of Kemi and Ange, who's Liz Truss and who's the lettuce? 🤔

(you'd think Badenoch/Truss is the obvious pairing but based on vibes I feel Ange is spooking the markets while Kemi slowly stinks up the fridge...)

Enjoyed the podcast.

Did you ever confirm who bore the losses from the glitch? The police officer said it was "other people's money", but it seems likely Russell Wilson would've covered any losses to hush it up. If so, that really does seem like a victimless crime – the guy made $538m in 2 years!
