Personal news update 1/4 – finally retired from @NottmTrentUni @NTUSocSciences yesterday after 36+ years. Very excited to have accepted offer of Emeritus Professor to continue my writing & publishing plans (and began working on a new article today re youth and #GE2024).

This vicar doesn't hold back on Tommy Robinson.

Dogs are beautiful if we don’t programme them otherwise

[Crazy Moments @Crazymoments01]

This mistreated dog came to our shelter carrying deep fear from his past. At first, he wouldn’t eat, stayed curled in the corner, trembling and flinching at every little sound. He didn’t know how to trust or feel safe.

Then our gentle Pit Bull named Honey showed up... moving slowly, giving space, and quietly sharing food. The little dog began to open up, slowly learning what trust feels like, until finally he chose to sit close, finally feeling safe and not alone anymore. And for the first time, he felt what it meant to be loved. Honey the Pit Bull deserves recognition for his gentle, kind heart. ❤

“It's his bloody daughter-in-law, you b*llend!”

“Take it down. There's nothing to see here.”

Gary Lineker publicly fact-checked Tommy Robinson after he shared a video of Lineker out walking with his daughter-in-law. So why is the post still up?

“Universities should be a place of learning, not propaganda machines” - really interesting campaign emerging across US universities to protest against the Trump administration’s ideological attempt to control what is taught and studied https://t.co/RqNbmsbezo

[Matt Henn @MattHenn2011]

1/2 In historical terms, this represents a stunning victory for a left anti-establishment & anti-authoritarian candidate. And it may embolden others that Trumpism can be taken on and defeated with a brave & uncompromising democratic socialist programme. https://t.co/s5jT3HW43d

[Matt Henn @MattHenn2011]

2/2 Whether that establishment allows Mamdani & his team to implement that bold programme in its entirety is another matter entirely, but for the moment, this is an extremely famous victory with international ramifications

[Matt Henn @MattHenn2011]

@GoldbergCFC FOCUS everyone. Surely it’s not who you dislike but who you love that matters. Chelsea winning the PL again would be amazing… I’d take that any day rather than worrying about other teams and how they do elsewhere

[Prof. Carl Sagan @ProfCarlSagan]

Carl Sagan in 1990 with a very compelling argument still relevant today.

@RussellHastings Love that song

Hugh Bonneville took advantage of a live TV interview at the premiere for #DowntonAbbeyTheGrandFinale to make a statement about Gaza. Watch the face of ITV News reporter Helen Keenan drop as he *goes there*.

I just learned about a pup who has suffered so much. She's on a long road to recovery and needs our help. Please consider donating or sharing her story. Every bit counts. https://t.co/K07kII3Y8z

“Stop killing children, stop killing civilians” banner displayed ahead of UEFA Super Cup between Spurs and PSG

[Matt Henn @MattHenn2011]

Wait. What? We’ve heard it all before re Trump’s views on immigration, so nothing new there. But “Stop the windmills” ??? They’re killing all the birds???

[Politics UK @PolitlcsUK]

🚨 NEW: Donald Trump says the UK should "stop the windmills" as it is "killing the beauty" of the country
