Apparently humanities and social sciences are "crucial" in New Zealand but ready for the scrap heap here in Wales 🤔

Hey Trump voters. Hate to break it to you - but here’s what actually happened on Tuesday. Watch. Bernie explained it 20 years ago.

I worked in a factory for 12 years I clocked in & when I clocked out there was such a sense of freedom knowing work has done, Fridays were brilliant. Since working in Higher Education I have never felt that freedom on leaving work. Because you never leave work.

@gsoh31 Nice piece, more-or-less says it all about why I left academia!

This fact about UK academia may surprise you! I wonder if others feel the same way: UK academia is weirdly ani-intellectual. I had a good academic career in UK, and left 2 years ago, ended up, happily, in Finland . I did all my degrees in the UK, and got to SL. And yet....

Seems people aged faster back in the day on Ramsey St, another classic episode of @neighbours with Jim advising Helen on her love triangle [she's in love with her daughter's fiance] & comforting Lucy over her drowned dog Basil, how is he only aged 40?!Looks at least 50!

Another observation on classic vs new @neighbours, no more secretaries! Helen predicts to Madge [who was her secretary at one time for Home James!] that a computer might one day take her job, even Paul Robinson does his own admin these days!

@thesociologyguy @neighbours No chance! Although, I bet if Max Ramsey had held onto the house [although did he/Maria ever sell it to Madge?] he could sell up at a huge profit and move into the new combined retirement complex/high school[!],another sign of changing demographics in the area

Been watching classic and new episodes of @neighbours ,struck by how gentrified Ramsey Street has become since the 80s,now we have lawyers, doctors [two], headteachers [two] living there, where are the mechanics,plumbers,ground workers? Shows high cost of living in Erinsborough?
