My wife bought a t-shirt off him pre-WWE. Both of them are zoo enthusiasts (according to said t-shirt and demonstrable behaviour from both of them post-purchase)

I mean look, this is straightforward reputational damage to this university right? Like, do I need to draw a line from this immensely lazy 'teaching' to the PR and recruitment consequences? I suspect I don't. People hamming it up like AI will change education forever are sellin' snake-oil

The analogy isn't great, but more a reflection on relative sizes.

Denmark doesn't really have Wales or Scotland equivalents. Jutland is typically more liberal, and the Faeroes and Greenland have their own politics.

Here in Odense - the third largest city, where I live - the Social Democrats have largely held on (down 1.6% of the vote, no lost seats).

Ditto Aarhus - the second largest city, where I don't live.

Essentially, they lost London but had no change in Manchester and Newcastle.

Ish.

Scotland have never got out of the group stage at the World Cup (even in 1978).

32 of the 48 teams qualify for the second round next summer

Following that with Danish commentary was an evening well spent. Given the form they're in, I worry about the playoffs.

The bad faith reading is that it's passive aggressive scolding by people who love to police people's behaviour on the internet, but thankfully nobody on bsky.app is like this...

That's not the purpose of the QT, though... 😉

At best (and I do have enough faith in humanity to mostly assume this) it's a way to provide the alt-text and remind the OP that they should do this as standard.

But a degree of it is also virtue signaling. (And not all virtue signaling is bad!)
