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 think the top left has been renamed as the Shape of War, or something.

First coffee in my #LightbulbMoments mug! The exhibition opened last week at the Victoria Gallery & Museum @livuninews.bsky.social and is worth it as much for the dolphin skeleton as seeing the original manuscript of Ethel Smyth’s Mass in D on display.

If it's not too late for a New Year's Resolution, I firmly resolve to stop writing people's names onto post-it notes without further explanation, then covering up said notes with sedimentary layers of paper, thereby removing any chance of remembering why I wrote the name down in the first place.

Both in full use up here. In terms of priorities, the particular ways HEIs have been directed by government to perform & measure certain functions is probably at play, e.g. TEF & REF metrics

Composer of the Week was Domenico Scarlatti and it turns out that harpsichord sonatas are an excellent commuting soundtrack. The clatterier the better. Jean Rondeau’s A minor is fabulous, but he may damage your harpsichord www.warnerclassics.com/release/scar... @bbcradio3bot.bsky.social
