Please support the academic migration by sharing:
A spreadsheet to collect information about discussions on Institutions to officially support Mastodon. I suspect many would but if others take the leap first. Please help by filling and circulating?
docs.google.com/spreadsheets…
I could not use Mastodon for years because I did not see enough chat that is of interest to me there. Perhaps now there is a real chance. I could never stomach Twitter, so I won’t miss it, and now that is run by a buffoon… I won’t wait to see how soon Trump will be back anyway!

A graduate earning £50k will pay a *higher* marginal rate (51%) than someone on £150K (42%)
A graduate earning £25k will pay a 40% marginal rate, just 2 points less than top earners.

That was vile from @KwasiKwarteng who actually just said "for too long in this country we've indulged in a fight over redistribution"
Indulged?
Dealing with inequality is somehow over-generous? Does he think people choose to be poor & face disadvantage? Disgusting

From next April the 45% top rate of tax (applies to those earning £150,000) will be scrapped. So the top rate will be the 40% higher rate threshold.
This means mega earners, pay the same rate as those on £50,000. #MiniBudget

Today I learned that sea urchins naturally use shells as hats to feel safer and camouflage. So some aquarists decided to 3d print tiny hats for them

German speakers: here’s a great PhD position for a social scientist with training in ethics. You’d work with Martin Kornberger at the Vienna University of Economics and Business: buff.ly/2NakWBu (closes 31 August)

It seems the time has come, for the NHS to have a near death experience. I wrote a comment that prefigured this development two months ago for Tecnoscienza, so I shall share the preprint this morning.
Palantir gears up to expand its reach into UK’s NHS - buff.ly/3H4yb3R
Here as anticipated. A few thoughts on the topic of Pandemic Data Circulation, to be followed on T/S by two colleagues' comments. I discuss through data and infrastructure studies lens the same kind of concerns discussed by @madhumita29 and @SarahNev doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.66270…
2/2 This morning I find out my renewal costs more than they charge new members – see screenshots. I could not believe it and had to check everything twice. How reckless is this company. *Gold medal for disloyalty:* @mubi. My membership is cancelled. Wish you tank, truly
