Hello, I have a new book out in the spring with Picador and I would love it if you could help me spread the word.

IF WE TOLERATE THIS draws on years of work, to help readers understand why British politics is hurtling rightwards and what to do about it.

Just to offer the counterpoint here, as I think it is very very important we do so: this is absolutely anticipatory obedience 101.
Much as university leaders might see it as their responsibility to “plan” for this possibility, in effect REF are getting to set the agenda without winning any election
Before anyone gets too angry about this, several things. (1) Universities in the UK, unlike the US, are pretty much under the financial and admin control of central govt. If RefUK moves to wipe them out, as they will, then some will choose life. (1/3) www.timeshighereducation.com/news/univers...
Universities try to woo Reform as party gains ground
Serious lobbying efforts under way, with right-wing party expected to be more sympathetic to elite universities than rest of the sector

I realised over Christmas that I’d never gotten my second MMR jab on account of childhood moves and policy changes. I emailed my GP and I just got it this morning, free on the NHS. It’s never too late and you can’t overdo it. Please get vaccinated.

one of few human obligations nearly everyone agrees on is that to avoid living in such a way that a sentence like that must be written about something you’ve done to a small child

Ambiguous announcement: is it the student and colleagues who get access to Copilot, or Copilot that gets access to the students and colleagues?

I am extremely anti-AI, in virtually every way possible.

But creative commons licensed content charging AI to scrape them is good, actually.

Because they're creative commons. The scraping is already happening. Charging for it is like saying "you don't get to count as people."

"if you ban torture, you will make it impossible to be Christian" is perhaps Not It, Chief
An open letter to the Government warning that its plans for a “full, trans-inclusive ban on conversion practices” could “criminalise mainstream, historic Christian teaching on marriage and sexual ethics, and make sharing the Gospel with some people illegal” has more than 5000 signatories.

As you may know, I have stopped using Twitter, and have decided to reproduce some of my more memorable threads here for posterity. Here’s one I hold wrote after a particularly engaging swordfighting lesson.

Buckle up, swordfighting fans, because I *have* studied my Agrippa!

Guys, do not use the Discord Checkpoint thing (Discord's attempt at Spotify Wrapped).

It requires enabling them access to scrape your data, and has an alarming amount of private data being used for it.

Make sure you have these disabled.

May their memories move us to keep fighting for a world where all trans people are free.
This #TransgenderDayOfRememberance, we remember the over 280 trans people killed globally this year and the many more lost to suicide.

They deserved to live safely, without fear, and to be fully who they are.

May their memories move us to keep fighting for a world where all trans people are free.
