I have quit Twitter X. This account is a 'zombie' with nothing seen nor interacted with. Due to the toxicity of the platform that #Musk & Co have taken #Twitter, I no longer want to be associated with this (un)social media. Goodbye Twitter -- and may many others follow me...

Brilliant insights about the divide between 'technologies'... @bobwood111 👇
Your grandparents could fly from NYC to London in 2.8 hours. Today? It takes 7+ hours. Everyone thinks we're living in the fastest era of innovation ever. But here's the disturbing truth about technological progress that no one wants to talk about:

We campaign for a secular state – meaning equal treatment for all beliefs and people of no religion, disestablishment of the Church of England, and an end to archbishops and bishops in the House of Lords. Add your name to our calls for reform: humanists.uk/action/get-bish…

"Accepting remuneration should not be confused with agreeing with the unethical harvesting of human creativity." Writers want compensation for historic uses of their work although many felt conflicted - it's a broad and nuanced issue for creators. More: alcs.co.uk/ai/

What he said 👏 👇 #ClarksonTax
Jeremy Clarkson, James Dyson, the Earl of Derby – they’re up in arms about paying tax on the vast areas of land they own. Small farmers are worried that changes to Agricultural Property Relief (APR) will affect them. But who are the big landowners complaining the loudest?... 1/

I keep being asked "When are you going to join BlueSky /Threads?" Well, I've been on Threads a while, and I've just joined Bluesky and done my first post, it ends - "is the real me and not some scammer" I don't plan to leave X as its a useful platform where I can get important info out to many, but will be posting similar content on the other similar platforms too.

Interesting time to decide you don't need to understand politics or international relations. And that's yet another chemistry department gone. While the environment is about to collapse and we could do with people understanding it in minute detail.

I spent four happy years working at @UCLan. Saddening to see valuable and well-taught courses now under threat. Equally saddening is that staff "only by chance found out when at an open day meeting they were told not to advertise the at-risk courses". lep.co.uk/education/were-dev…

Trump's election is either a moment of American collective insanity or a moment when mainstream politics need to listen to legitimate concerns of the populace. Right or left wing populists will solve neither, but centrists can no longer be 'tin-eared'. #USElection2024

Trump's apparent victory has 5 big implications for the UK: 🧵 1️⃣ It can happen here. He will back Farage, the Musk propaganda machine will crank up against Labour; the Tories will remould themselves into Trump-lite Islamophobes ...

4️⃣ Labour needs to redefine economic delivery: if we don't enhance people's economic security, real wages, personal security and the prospects of their kids - they will turn to the chimeric solutions of the far right....
