[UCU @ucu]

Vice-chancellors are addicted to year-on-year cycles of redundancies. But you cannot cut your way to growth.

Universities must listen to UCU, invest in staff & build student provision. If they refuse, they pave the way for significant industrial unrest.

@wallmt I look forward to numerous calls for my resignation.

A lovely student made me a STEGOSAURUS CAKE today, and it might be the happiest achievement of my entire professional career so far.

[PolicyWISE @_policywise]

Excellent and critical roundtable on Trust & Evidence in #policymaking in #Swansea today. Diolch to @MASI_Swansea @GabiJB for curating and inviting @_Policywise to contribute. (1/3)

I lie right in that sweet spot between voting for Kang or voting for Kodos.

Delighted to have https://t.co/MQh5Xnmsjl up and running. It's a vote advice site for the UK elections and part of a UK wide collaboration. Check it out and let me know what you think!

This one hurts. RIP Steve Albini. I had the pleasure of meeting him at a Shellac gig in Cardiff in 2019. Grumpy, opinionated, didn't suffer fools gladly, but fiercely principled, kind and fair to anybody and everybody, basically what I aim to be as a person.

[Dion Curry @dsdcurry.bsky.social @DSDCurry]

I've made a fortune scalping tickets for this!
