Skeleton Manifesto would be a great band name

Mark Chadbourn@chadbourn.bsky.social · 4d ago

Reform is drawing up a “skeleton manifesto” (as it essentially has no policies beyond immigration) and “speeding up candidate selection” in case there’s an early election. What could possibly go wrong?

No professional accomplishment has ever made me happier than this. theonion.com/translator-o...

@reckless.bsky.social @theverge.com hey - bit random but the quality of Verge ads has massively declined over the past few days for me (can send screenshots if needed). Think spammy 'fungal nail treatment' ads that I associate with Taboola etc.

Some thoughts on Andy Burnham's government overhaul: the good (creating an Office of the PM), the bad (RIP DSIT), the mixed (not killing off the Cabinet Office) and the 'you gave Lisa Nandy a BIGGER job?'

good lord, how have they made Siri *worse*

I was delighted to launch the ‘Summer of Sex’ this week with support of Coco de Mer and John Lewis & Partners on the roof top garden bar of John Lewis’s Oxford Street store. The day before the launch I talked to Georgia Roberts from BBC News: ➡️ www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Thread

People call me the sex MP but we need to be educating

It has been the privilege of my life to serve my country as Attorney General over the last two years. I’ve been so lucky to be a part of Keir’s team, as he delivered for the public at home while rebuilding the UK’s reputation abroad, in particular on the rule of law.

The audio quality on this BBC feed is awful

how is this not a red card

Did the BBC just say Pharrell was ASAP Rocky? 😭 #ESPARG

"don't cite what you haven't read" remains the basic entry level academic responsibility; & if your discpline "doesn't have that as a norm" then sorry, your discipline needs reforming for this new world. Citations are structural parts of trust and knowledge building, not trinkets or optional extras

Miles Klee 🦉@milesklee.bsky.social · 8mo ago

Academics and technologists are sounding the alarm about a growing crisis in scholarship as we know it: AI-generated citations of nonexistent papers that have infested real journals. Despite being fake, the sources are widely assumed to be authentic the more they appear in published literature.

Byelection winner says heatwaves are causing ‘absolute chaos’ and workers need protection from unsafe conditions Hannah Spencer is to introduce a bill in parliament that would pave the way for a maximum workplace temperature in the UK, as the country grapples with increasingly frequent heatwaves.

Drivers kill

Gravel Influencer@gravelinfluencer.bsky.social · 4w ago

Statement from @bikeboston.bsky.social, @streetsboston.bsky.social, and @walkmass.bsky.social about Louisa Gag, who was hit and killed by a driver today. Yet another life taken because our society and leaders refuse to address the destruction wrought by cars.

I categorically do not care about your petty greivances with weapon degredation or comparisons to BotW Tears of the Kingdom is a *BEAUTIFUL* game
