And don’t get me started on who’s most likely to miss out on app-based services.
People like my dad, for a start. He just can’t cope with a smartphone.
But there will be plenty of other demographics who fall through the cracks.
Hypotheticals, Darren. Hypotheticals. They actually matter.

Literally no-one asked for public services to be replaced by a fucking app.
We’re changing how public services work — to move fast and fix things and make sure they’re there when you need them most.

This is outrageous anti-union activity from the University of Sheffield.
Well that’s me locked out. No pay for the foreseeable future, all because I refuse to reschedule lost teaching, for which I have already lost pay as part of the strike. Please donate to support @sheffielducu.bsky.social members like me at www.gofundme.com/f/heubvb-sup...

Full on world emperor mode. Just drop the fancy theories now, this is now solely about personal power and money for Trump.

Yesterday I taught a class about the historiography of Stonewall.
I used the official defacing of the Stonewall National Monument - removing the TQ+ by the administration - to illustrate how public memory and debates about history, aka historiography, have relevance today.
Next year I'll use this.

Seems unfair that you only get to use the bouncy slide to get off a plane when things have gone wrong. The bouncy slide should be a treat they give to the best passengers who did the flight correctly.

I can't trust politicians who are anti-trans. Not because I'm "only searching for perfection" which is what centrists will be accusing me of for the rest of my life, it's because if you're not pro-trans you'll be garbage on lots of other issues too. Being anti-trans NEVER exists in a vacuum.

Oh @metoffice.gov.uk what have you done to your app?! Key data scattered all over the page, pointless graphics (like the max-min temperature bars), madly busy format, too much animation. I want to be able to see an at-a-glance view, not a jumble
