Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

The Rees Moggs will still do History degrees. The Johnsons will still do Classics.
Sadly, the Wilsons from South Bank in Middlesbrough won't get the intellectual stimulation of studying a subject of interest for a degree.

I am having removal firms coming around today, they are all very keen right now. Once they see this lot they might calm down a bit. Its a Herculean task that awaits them. #notwithmyback #ohno

I know statistics are poorly understood and are misused. But facts matter

Between the 1991, 2001, 2011 and 2021 Census *every* ethnic group in the UK has become *less* geographically segregated and *all* groups, majority and minorities, are more likely to interact with people not like them

I hear they’ve formed a new political party and already are at 10% in the polls.

Full of admiration for kids playing those ‘open’ pianos at train stations, but this one’s doing Coldplay, so as far as I’m concerned instant rail fare evasion penalty charge.

We’d all love to see Mr Bone Spurs have his giant arse publicly handed to him on a plate, but when dealing with a lying, narcissistic, neo-fash bully why play by rules and be honest? It’s what he’d want. Be devious: it’ll mess with his fragile superego.

Bari Weiss introduced herself to CBS News staff today on the network's 9AM call, saying she wants to "win," which requires restoring trust to CBS. She also said she was excited for staff to get to know the Free Press, and ended her remarks by saying: "Let's do the fucking news."

Football eats (drinks) itself! Chelsea's Cole Palmer trademarks 'Cold Palmer' for spirits and alcoholic energy drinks: wine dropped wine from application after opposition from Bordeaux's Chateau Palmer via @tburrows16.bsky.social and @theathleticfc.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/athletic/669...

Cole Palmer has trademarked ‘Cold Palmer’. What does it mean for him (and Chelsea)?

The Athletic can reveal Cole Palmer has successfully trademarked 'Cold Palmer' and is trying to register other marks

Whether Jenrick Himmler believes the poison he's spreading or not, the more important point IMO is that he knows that there's a ready market for it, politically and financially. Seems to me he's liying in wait for as and when Reform implode and he can offer an oven-ready racist Tory party he leads.

Robert Jenrick's home is in Eye, Herefordshire, where 165 out of 166 residents were white at the time of the last census.

Wow. Robert Jenrick doubles down by branding a black journalist's questions "ridiculous" and saying that the problem is not his comments, but "journalists like you who pop up and try to knock me down", adding that "this is the reason why terrorist attacks happen". ~AA

Once you dislocate a football club from its community you are creating, literally, a travelling circus. A vacuous content provider that means absolutely nothing
