Gone to the other place under my real name.

Bionian Lutonian. Looks at people in their underwear or teaches academic writing, but never at the same time.

One of the finest bits of poetry in the English language, to celebrate our enduring Europeanness.

ah, that one student who decided to clone himself and his voice reading an AI-generated script rather than just do the effing assignment and now I've got to check a whole bunch of them.

Disappointed @kiteclothing segment toddlers' clothes into girls & boys sections. Spotted their lovely train cardigan and immediately thought would be great for my daughter: why on earth is this a boys' thing? Do girls not use trains? Do women not become engineers? FS. It's 2024!

@NoreenMasud sorry I mean _adjectivally_. It’s not an everyday word. It only comes out for special occasions such as the news of your unfortunate death

[Dr N Dubs @drndubs]

@NoreenMasud the wording was what gave me hope that you hadn’t, in fact, died, but then again it would be ‘unfortunate’ if you’d died and I couldn’t be sure that whomsoever manages your digital estate might not adjectively over-egg the situation

[Dr N Dubs @drndubs]

@NoreenMasud if you actually die please do it on Bluesky, k?

Trying to explain to students about to submit a recorded presentation that they need to tack their reflections to relevant theories and not just chat shit in order to achieve a (UK) grade >60; delighted to spot one lad’s entire lecture notes read ‘no marks for charisma’. #rizz

Hearting @heliaebrahimi for her continued and unabashed references to matters being ‘waffer-thin’.

[Dr N Dubs @drndubs]

Enjoying the fact that the @petshopboys have basically broken the internet* with their launch of a new Pet Shop Boys-themed tea set. 👌🏼☕️🫖 💅🏻

* crashed their server

Belgians seem genuinely confused by the concept of the single-shot flat white.

My second book coming soon lol

@ncdominie have you tried reading it as free verse? It helps (not much).

My seven-year-old asked for a dictionary this week. We went to the bookshop today to buy one. She walked home hugging it, pausing every so often to look up a word, grinning as though she had been given a book of spells, the key to wonders.

[Dr N Dubs @drndubs]

@h4ckys4ck @Pinklilycat yes exactly this in my head, and this is getting to be quite a niche reference these days

[Dr N Dubs @drndubs]

God help us all if the @Natracare people ever get together with the National Rail ticketing people... "I'd like a super off-peak ultra extra period return to London Thameslink with a Perimenopausal Person's Railcard, please."

[Dr N Dubs @drndubs]

Peak Guardian?

[Dr N Dubs @drndubs]

I think you’ll find that the worst stairs are actually the ones across from St Paul’s Cathedral heading down to the Millennium Bridge.

[fareed 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 @it_is_fareed]

This diagonal staircase at London Bridge is the worst staircase in London. Feel free to chime in if you feel differently but I’m pretty confident.

brb, overhauling my neck and chest
