This is great. It naturally follows that Musk can only get out of our politics if politicians and political journalists stop using the social media site he controls.

I know this may not be the quickest but, as an academic, if you email me for a paper I have written, I will send a copy asap…

I feel I have to say pinch but what I of course mean is a truckload and start by assuming it’s all wrong..!

Unless you are certain specific profs who apparently can do none of these, but that’s ok because ££££ … basically, if you have to do these things, you have been told you aren’t bringing in enough cash!

This does not look like “impartiality”. It looks like propaganda.

Reform, with 0.7% of all MPs, featured in 25% of BBC's recent 10pm news bulletins
Astonishingly, a party with 18 times as many MPs as Reform has received one-third less coverage on BBC News at 10.

The only argument I want to hear is whether jam or cream goes on first when you have a scone. Anger and annoyance about anything else is unwanted, unneeded and makes me hate this country…

It’s weird that there is this paper and then also the one that Derek Lowe has written about saying that there is no need for a stirrer bar…

Incidentally, this is an idea I wrote a grant application on in 2009 and one referee said would never work - they may have been right at the time, but 15 years of work later and we are in the right place to know how to understand these systems. Science can be slow....

This work relied on collaborations with @pingosaurus.bsky.social, Louise Serpell and Ed Egelman's groups and came about by starting to work with Drew Thomson at Glasgow - it's been an exciting start to some new directions...
