Ben Whatley is one of the British 400+ deaths alongside other NATO troop casualties in Afghanistan - who Trump so disparagingly said stayed "a little off the frontlines". Trump - Disgusting. Disrespectful. Liar. He demeans the office of President of the US 😡

@pollytoynbee.bsky.social in @theguardian.com exposes deliberate filibustering of the assisted dying Bill by a small group of long-opposed Peers. She captures growing frustration at, and rising pressure, on hardline opponents to allow the Bill to move forward. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

If the assisted dying bill is killed off by the Lords, let that be the end for this unelected chamber | Polly Toynbee

With filibustering slowing the pace to a crawl, there is no chance the legislation will get through – unless the government shows some backbone, says Guardian columnist Polly Toynbee

Having a great time at #DDD17 with @annawilde.bsky.social this week! Presented my paper on death games in the "Digital Death I" panel first thing, then the "Digital Death II" panel was so full myself and others watched along on my laptop from the garden behind the conference room! @ddd17.sites.uu.nl

Outdoor courtyard seating area with brick flooring, green plants along the wall, and a laptop on a round table under a large umbrella. The laptop screen shows a presentation slide. In the background, through large glass doors, people are sitting indoors at a table beneath a chandelier, and are watching the same presentation slides projected to a full room of people. A decorative wall fountain and potted shrubs add detail to the courtyard.

I've always said I'm a PhD student - in my 5th part-time year currently. But I note on my Uni website I'm a "Doctoral Researcher", which sounds grand and possibly more in keeping with my advanced years. What do you call yourself?
