OK how do I get rid of the Temu ads? I have finally had enough 😠

@GraemePeacock1 Gorgeous! Are you on Bluesky? Am spending less time on here (don't want to drive ad revenue to Musk) but miss seeing your beautiful work in my timeline

So endeth a canny few hours trawling the archives for a new castle project. I reckon I have circa 75 on file to date. Here’s an eclectic 36. I’ll be mightily impressed if anyone manages to name 30 or more correctly :)

Oooooh @ChrisHeadleand on @bbcmtd AGAIN!

Another Gerry moment: he claimed he cost the uni thousands by smoking next to a sign reading ‘no smoking policy’. When challenged he said he thought they meant there was no policy on smoking. New signs hurriedly appeared.

@ChrisHeadleand @UniofStaffs Just seen you on @bbcmtd - So cool!

A Christmas eve reminder that for all the talk of a ceasefire in Gaza, Netanyahu has no intention of leaving the strip to the Palestinians. He insists the IDF is there to stay. So we stay on the streets in 2025. #StopArmingIsrael

Ooooh! @MichaelSadgrove theguardian.com/business/2024/…

This week's #IntegrityMatters blog by Professor Mary Davis is about maintaining research integrity in the age of AI. academicintegrity.org/resources/blog If you want to hear more about this topic, register for the upcoming webinar on December 13. mailchi.mp/academicintegr…

Add to this burgeoning student-staff ratios, redundancies, impossible staff workloads, pressure to meet OfS targets, lack of time and resources to cope with GenAI developments, and we have a perfect #AcademicIntegrity storm

Gaza Soup Kitchen: Chef Mahmoud, Dedicated to Serving Palestinian Civilians, Assassinated by Israeli Drone Gaza Soup Kitchen, which coordinates humanitarian aid efforts in Gaza, has issued a statement regarding the tragic death of Chef Mahmoud. This morning, Chef Mahmoud was assassinated by an Israeli drone as he stepped out of his home to begin his daily routine at Kamal Adwan Hospital. Known for his unwavering commitment to serving Palestinian civilians, Mahmoud played a critical role in ensuring the hospital had the supplies it needed. The statement emphasized that Mahmoud’s assassination was a deliberate attack on his efforts to alleviate the suffering of Palestinian civilians in Gaza. His work had become a lifeline for many, standing in defiance of the systematic destruction and displacement being carried out. “This news is devastating. Just yesterday, Mahmoud shared his plans and ongoing efforts to support the community. Today, his absence leaves a void deeply felt by his grieving family and the thousands of families who relied on his support,” Gaza Soup Kitchen officials said. Mahmoud leaves behind seven children. His youngest is only two weeks old, while his eldest is still hospitalized, recovering from severe injuries sustained in a prior Israeli drone attack. Gaza Soup Kitchen asked, “How do you explain such a loss to a child?” His absence is a profound loss for his family and the northern Gaza community. Gaza Soup Kitchen stressed the vital importance of Mahmoud’s contributions and highlighted how his tragic death underscores the immense challenges faced by the Palestinian people. “Despite this sorrow, we remain steadfast. Mahmoud’s memory will continue to symbolize justice and resilience. We condemn this cowardly attack, which targeted not only Mahmoud but also the survival and dignity of the Palestinian people.” Gaza Soup Kitchen called on the international community to urgently act to protect civilians and prevent further atrocities. Mahmoud’s legacy will endure as a testament to the resilience of the Palestinian people and their unyielding pursuit of justice.
