Too young to have been able to emigrate to the EU pre-Brexit, too old to emigrate to the EU post-Brexit. fml
🚨BREAKING The UK may allow under-30s from the European Union to live and work in the UK as part of a deal to “reset” the UK/EU relationship. And so it begins….

yeah i'm sorry if you do this you should have your doctorate revoked and be thrown into the stocks at the center of the main university quad. this is abandonment of professional responsibility to a degree that would be comical if it weren't so self-serious newsroom.ucla.edu/stories/co…

this stuff is so funny to me because if things ever get as bad as they should, it’s not going to help them at all
My latest: tech elites fearful of their safety are signing up for a new home security startup promising a military-grade alarm system using drones, facial recognition, and sensor fusion called ... Sauron

This collapse of services is not only the inevitable result of cutting funding to the bone, but is exactly what trans people have been experiencing for years with gender services — and, likewise, it's not an accident that it's these services that see collapse first and fastest.

Craziest housing stat of the week: The state spends MORE today on housing than it did in 1976. The key difference: we used to build council houses, now we spend it on subsidising private landlords. Our housing system is completely broken.

In an alternate universe, we could have gotten Bernie & Corbyn, but Liberals, rather than uniting with progressives to defeat a new rise of Fascism, did everything they could to destroy the Left instead. All the disaster you see today, are the rotting fruits of Liberals Labour.
The left had a response to trump from right back in 2016 and that was bernie sanders. He matched Trumps xenohobia with simple economic populism - but the DNC decided it would rather defeat socialism than allow a genuinely people-powered candidate to win the presidency.

turnips are great and it‘s a terrible shame that they’re weirdly hard to come by at normal supermarkets

Just think, if you drink One Hundred Pints you’ll have saved the equivalent of the increase on a single bus journey!
This is a Budget with cheaper pints. #Budget2024

Paying an extra £1 every time I get the bus to help bankroll some guy's decision to use a car. Fucksake.
Fuel duty frozen; bus fares up 50%. All hail the green transition!

Baffling that an increase in fuel duty of even only 5p a litre (or c. £3 per TANK) would be an unconscionable tax on hard working car driving people but increasing everyone’s bus trips by £2 per DAY is just common sense
The nation-wide £2 bus fare cap will go up to £3, Sir Keir Starmer has confirmed

From someone who lives in constant fear of their partner being deported from the country they’ve made home for the past 10 years in case we don’t jump exactly through the Home Office’s continually changing and very expensive hoops - this is twee and crass and it sucks!

And this is just my privileged comfortable UK citizen take!! The gall to issue a fun passport to a fictional illegal immigrant while we let real ones die trying to access our borders. I think we could be spared the cutsey PR shit when they’ve got that much blood on their hands.

Within only a few months of these articles being posted, their fake images are being used in place of real ones all across the web - further boosting their visibility and reinforcing their legitimacy. This undermines genuine historical truth and the work of actual historians.

There’s an entire book to be written about the implications of all this, but in the first instance I would urge the content team at @TMMSLondon to remove all AI-generated content as soon as possible to reduce the harm that this is doing to both history and music education.
