Tory losses in the local elections now top 1000. What a crying shame. Look on the bright side, Tories… for once you’ve exceeded your own expectations and made the country very happy. How often can you say you’ve achieved that? Cheers to all who made it possible🥂

Read no further if #linux is not of concern....

Do not assume the inode error is localised to the disk whence it reportedly originated....
It's worth checking whether your users have baked the RAM first...

UCEA's latest statement about the #UCUrising despite is laughable. They're "deducting wages to protect students"?? Really? How is immiserating staff, risking lockouts and creating a culture of punitiveness 'protecting students'?

If you're an "A.I" desinger or engineer who genuinely believes your work will be or is already "conscious" in a "human-like" way, then the first thing imma need you to do tomorrow is teach it not to cross the picket line 🤷🏾♂️

Today I discovered that the father of David and Richard Attenborough was a legal historian.
Frederick Attenborough's The Laws of the Earliest English Kings (1922) was a standard text for some time.

We have been told to have 100% deducted for a marking and assessment boycott. It seems I will finally have a long summer break. If they deduct 100% I will do 0% #UCURising #UCUstrike #MAB

First day of the marking & assessment boycott today for #ucuRISING.
The response by university leaders has so far been one of total panic, ranging from miscommunication, ignorance and the usual suspects being incredibly punitive.
It shows they don't know how to respond which is why it's such an effective form of action. Stay strong! 💪🏾 💪🏾 💪🏾 💪🏾 💪🏾

RIP Paul O'Grady.
A pioneer of queer rights, animal welfare and as this wonderful clip shows from 2010, anti-Tory, anti-austerity sentiment (and yes, we should STILL take a leaf out of the French playbook!)
We've lost a good one today
