@telescoper Will we be seeing you in the Flute? 😁

@astro_huntsman I find most of my simulations crash about 30s seconds after I smugly leave for the pub on a Friday, buoyed with the complacent knowledge that although I may be about to get drunk, my simulations will carry on working for me throughout the weekend. Sigh

@AstroAhura “Drawing from the posterior”. I always thought them at some research was rubbish, but this gives scientific proof 🤣

@markmccaughrean @TMegadeath Wait a minute: Mark, you were once 9? Next you’ll be saying that this involved actually short trousers. In this troubled world, that really has cheered me up :-)

@telescoper I was on Chloroquine and Proguanil. One of them tasted so bad you had to throw it in the air and gulp it down, praying it didn’t touch the sides... don’t know which one...

@JohnSimpsonNews @markmccaughrean I think when you’re wrong on something, and are corrected, the proper term is “Schooled”.

@adribuller @dpcarrington Perhaps I missed something, but I found no mention of population density in the original journal article for the European study. Kinda makes you wonder whether they considered that

[UCU @ucu]

"When university staff strike, they will be abandoning their lecture rooms and desks for a far greater cause than their own justified grievances. It is a battle that will help determine not just the future of our imperilled universities but our society and culture with it."

Jeremy Corbyn addresses ⁦@CardiffUCU⁩ members on the 1st of 14 days of ⁦@ucu⁩ strikes.

@DrSALynch We really don’t pay you enough Steve. Or give you enough stuff to do. It’s definitely one of the two...

Here’s to all those people selflessly hiding in the kitchen cooking today. 🤫

Brilliant.

Number of NHS malnutrition cases:

2009: 2,893
2019: 8,537

Number of foodbank parcels given:

2009: 40,000
2019: 1,600,000

Number of homeless children:

2009: 71,460
2019: 135,000

It doesn’t and shouldn’t have to be this way in the 5th richest country on Earth.

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

Today @BorisJohnson lied to the BBC, claiming child poverty had gone down.

In fact, it’s gone up every year since 2010. Now, a staggering 4.1 million British children live in poverty.

A government allowing this is disgusting.

A prime minister lying about it is inexcusable.

@AnnaMcMorrin thanks for supporting our strike today! Let’s put an end to the commercialisation of education!
