Very good thread this. And just in case you're a youngish graduate not already miserable enough reading this,... the regional picture is even worse. The graduate premium has actually held up well in London. It's everywhere else that it's collapsed. x.com/thomasforth/st…
Tom Calver@TomHCalver

🧵 NEW: The erosion of the graduate premium The minimum wage is now £25k on a 40-hour week. From next year, £25k is also the threshold for repaying new student loans There are many good reasons to go to uni - but does it still pay in the financial sense? 1/8

This is disgusting and has nothing in common with the idiosyncratically bizarre cartoons of the 1930s. If the artists who put so much love into every frame of those old cartoons saw this sterile junk, they would be sick. Have some real cartooning instead:

3/8: Fleischer Studios – 1930s rubber-hose style, like Betty Boop and Popeye. Surreal, bouncy, jazz-age energy.

6/ The absence from the Convention of a lot of UK National Organisations who claim that their London HQs don't stop them from engaging with the whole of the UK was obvious, it was seen, and it is noted. I know a lot of you were invited. You made your choice. We see it.

AOC: Why isn’t this moving? Republicans support it. Democrats support it. So what happened? On December 15th at 415am, Elon Musk began firing off a barrage of social media posts opposing pharmacy benefit manager reform. All of a sudden, something that had almost unanimous support fell apart. We had nearly 435 members on board with it—he tweets, and it kills drug pricing reform that would save people money on their insulin, asthma inhalers, and everything they need. And to top it off, five days after he kills pharmacy benefit manager reform, we get this tweet from Elon Musk: What is a pharmacy benefit manager? The problem here isn’t a substance issue or a process issue—it’s an oligarchy issue, a power issue. And this room is where the power of the people resides. Everyone here was elected to be accountable to the people—not to be governed by tweets, but to be governed by their duly elected representatives. So we can get this done; there are more of us than there are of him.

V uncomfortable with the way this story is written. If an accidental baby swap occurred there are two victims at the heart of this - the now adult babies. Neither is centred, and the baby they did take home appears to have been treated *appallingly* theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2…

Does anyone know why the version of The Blair Witch Project on @BBCiPlayer is 76 minutes long? Everywhere online says the runtime is 81 minutes. The version on @primevideouk runs to 81 mins. Is it a different cut, or have edits been made somewhere? @bbcpress

It turns out Bolton uni changing its name to the University of Greater Manchester was the *least* bizarre thing going on there. @molssimp reports that a car PR guy from Milton Keynes is running the show, telling racist jokes and worrying about the uni becoming a "small Lagos".

Google is shit now, Instagram is shit now. And this place isn’t just shit, it’s actively harmful. Good bits of the internet are now basically just Wikipedia, for some reason LinkedIn, and also Bluesky.
