I reckon you can learn a lot about the atmosphere in various Oxford colleges by looking at what they choose to name their cats (courtesy of @oxfordclarion.bsky.social ). We should all aspire to the energy of a Teabag, Isambard Kitten Brunel, or an Admiral Flapjack

Great photo! That’s one of my favorite places in the park!
From today’s hike around Shenley Park #Pittsburgh, that’s Panther Hollow Lake and Bridge above. #photography #Fall

I heard from my cat that she is willing to consider never throwing up on a rug again. So now we'll see if she's really gonna work with me.

You can never be sorry enough for dropping the “h” at the end of Pittsburgh.
That h really classes up the name, you know, makes it sound like the home of a Scottish Laird n’at.
Cheers to Raleig for owning this treachery.

1. What you see here is clearest illustration why things are so messed up and why it cannot get any better until this asymmetry is addressed.
Put simply: the right-wing has narrative dominance.

This is the largest ever recorded oak with a photographic history. The girth at 5 foot was 57 feet when this photo was taken with what appears to be the whole Austro-Hungarian Army in 1887
It is the Imperial Oak (Carski Hrast) - Rankovici, Bosnia & Herzegovina
Sadly no more

Word of the day is ‘whiffling’ (17th century): fickle, inconstant, and making it up as you go along.

Fantastic thread!
VINTAGE LUNCHBOX MEGATHREAD!
There is something deeply, nostalgic about the artwork on old lunchboxes. They meet at the crossroads of childhood, food, pop culture, & school/friends. Every day, for as long as I feel like, I'll be adding a new lunchbox to this thread!

Research universities are often the largest employers in their region. They are often the primary health care providers to communities. This funding shift will not only reduce US research leadership, it will put working people out of work and reduce healthcare access.
Excellent 🧵 on this evening's NIH announcement of a dramatic reduction in indirect rates for research institutions, which amounts to a generational restructuring of the US research and development ecosystem. These cuts are effective immediately, not just for new grants but for existing ones.
6. The policy does not just affect funding going forward. All existing NIH grants will have their indirect rates cut to 15% as of today, the date of issuance.
For a large university, this creates a sudden and catastrophic shortfall of hundreds of millions of dollars against already budgeted funds.
