I am a new senior academic in a long established British university. Upon taking charge of 'my' premises, I found dozens of decent students sleeping in our 24-hour study spaces: they are homeless. I don't know how to tackle this without rigid management just changing the locks.

I've included this as a reply to yesterday's post about the Rockstar comment, but here's IWGB's full response this morning.
IWGB: "Rockstar’s latest statement is littered with falsehoods and disinformation - they have given multiple, conflicting reasons to explain why the workers were fired, as if attempting to reverse engineer a rationale for the dismissals. Once again, they have chosen to mischaracterise... 1/3

Labor 2025: Censorship Over Courage
Unless Labor rediscovers its roots in transformative reform and rejects the neoliberal militaristic straitjacket, the cries for real change will only grow louder.

Some thoughts on One Nation, middle-aged men, and Barnaby, that only had to be *slightly* reviewed by legal:
What’s going on with Gen X men and One Nation? I'm sick of being told to feel sorry for them
One Nation is not going to help rural Australians nor furious Gen X men, both unable to see an end to their housing, financial or energy strife. But hey, neither were the Nationals.

Albanese's Labor hasn’t just abandoned its values, it has sold off the last scraps of hope people had in them. They talk like Whitlam and govern like Chevron. The real tragedy? Millions still cling to them because the alternative is even worse.

I understand that Australia once had a national anti-corruption body that might have been able to deal with this.

But they got too preoccupied with being investigated themselves for the Commissioner's questionable behaviour. #Nauru #auspol
Australia is paying $750m to a US prison company and $2.5bn in a secret deal to Nauru, yet the hundred or so asylum seekers in Nauru are starving.
It’s called corruption, and someone in authority should look into it.

This is quite an investigation into ARC’s proposed restructure & job cuts by @jennaprice.bsky.social.

You know you’ve botched your “review” when several staff complain to a Senator!

ARC also ran a witch hunt to find people who might’ve “leaked”.

Ugly stuff.
