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.

This article manages to name her husband before it names… her.
Article reads:
Woman named as Archbishop of Canterbury in historic first 

The 63-year-old archbishop-designate is married to Eamonn Mullally, with whom she has two children. Originally from Woking in Surrey, she was the UK's chief nursing officer from 1999 to 2004.

#Autism is a diverse group of brain development conditions.

In 2021, about 1 in 127 people worldwide were estimated to be on the autism spectrum.

Signs may appear in early childhood, but many go undiagnosed for years.

Early understanding and support can make all the difference. 👉 bit.ly/4pGvgnP

Hobbyhorse: at university, lectures remain an incredible format. They introduce & explore a huge amount of content in a short period of time. They scaffold further reading, with a personal twist. Workshops, etc, do their own thing, but don't replace effective lectures:

To save in-person lectures, unis need to provide lessons worth showing up for
In-person lectures have been a staple of university learning for centuries. But they are going out of style in an age of TED Talks and Tiktoks.

I don’t think it’s hyperbolic to say that every single time you scroll on twitter you are enabling and enriching Musk and his ilk to spread their lies and disinformation. Even if you’re not swayed, you’re allowing it to be viewed by ever more people. Please leave the platform to rot.

Oh 100% - pushing people into their own circles and corners (myself included). But I'm starting to see right-wing propaganda on my timelines (despite the people I follow very much not being part of it).

It feels hard to focus at the moment, seeing such horrors in the world. A genocide. Open racism and hostility in the UK. Martyring somebody in the US who wished I didn't exist. The world on literally fire because of the eagerness to use ai to solve non-existent problems. Eugh.

How British TV is prepping for Trump's visit:
"More than 100 of Donald Trump’s inaccurate statements are to be dissected by Channel 4 to coincide with his state visit, in what it described as 'the longest uninterrupted reel of untruths, falsehoods and distortions ever broadcast on television.'"

Just been for a nice early walk through the woods near me. An old(ish) lady stopped me and asked me the quickest way back to the canal. Dear reader, I told her the longest way because if she'd gone the quickest we'd have walked side by side as that's where I was heading too.

Pet parrots which typically live alone (whilst those in the wild live in large flocks) were given the technology to call each other. They would use it for up to three hours a day, and developed favourite friends 💔
on.ft.com/3K05vhS
When a parrot wanted to connect with a distant friend, a touchscreen showed a selection of other birds available online. The parrots learned to activate the screen, designed specially for them, by touching it gently with their tongues rather than pecking aggressively with their beaks.
"We had 26 birds involved," said Hirskyj-Douglas. "They would use the system up to three hours a day, with each call lasting up to five minutes." The interactions ranged from preening and playing with toys to loud vocal exchanges.
"When we went through the data, we found that most of these parrots had favourite friends," said Hirskyj-Douglas.

NOTHING will prepare you for this 45-second story arc. From "I'm just doing this because I love the flag, it's totally grassroots, and I'm not part of anything political"... to who actually gave him the flags the night before.

Anyone who believes it is an innocent movement needs to see this.

Went to my first music gig in a while yesterday. Alt metal/rock. 90% of People had ear protectors, they sold out of alcohol free beer, and everybody kept a good distance while head banging, and I was in bed by 10.30. Bliss.

Here's something a bit different. We've been reporting from Edinburgh to try to get to the bottom of a mystery in London. Princes Street is the Scottish capital's most famous shopping street — and it's gaining the *exact same* tatty gift shops as London. www.londoncentric.media/p/edinburgh-...
