Prof Tracey Hill
@tracelarkhall.bsky.social
Sweary prof, iconoclast, and non-league football nut (Larkhall Athletic FC 💙). Lives in early modern London; citizen & Founder. Bossed by cats. I mean it about the swearing 🤬
You'll be amazed - AMAZED - to hear that Simon Jordan was on GB"News" defending Ratcliffe

It's become a ridiculous part of commentary on PL football. I speak to referees before and after games every week, unlike most PL football supporters.
February 12, 2026 at 11:04 PM
Quite. Can you imagine that these days?
February 12, 2026 at 10:49 PM
That's very interesting. Non-league referees have nothing like the same skills/experience but are not subject to media interest and the like. Human error, yes; conspiracy theories absolutely not.

So serious. Today's sports reporters could learn a lot.

Who could blame them? (Loving these reports btw)

Were the crowd being admonished for a lack of enthusiasm?

@essexuni.bsky.social alumna here - and I'm no longer proud of that association. Shame on you, Essex. All that radical past, ruined.
We're still facing 400+ job losses, the loss of a campus, the closure of our foundation year department, and many more departments cut to the bone. Please sign our petition to help stop the cuts, save jobs, and defend our students' education!

The vast majority of the records from *the capital of the UK* haven't been digitised...
Right, another key thing that historians do is working with important records that have not been digitized.

And the vast majority of the world’s records *have not been digitized* and thus do not exist in any format that LLMs/AI can work with.
it's literally impossible for an LLM to do a historian's job

it's not even LLMs sucking it's that they need data input to do anything and where's that data supposed to be coming from without historians

never met a computer that can dig through a thousand year old book in a library

Yes, I'll pick it up there 👍

Bloody hell, is Callinocos still going? He was a fixture at York and built a big SWSS group around him in the early 80s

One of those spawny 1-0 wins, maybe even an OG. I'll take it.

Horrible fuckers

Lives in Monaco. Should STFU.

Hateful piece of shit. He and Man Utd deserve each other.
Would be good if the Prime Minister and/or Home Secretary would for once come out and describe this as the unadulterated racism and xenophobia it so clearly is.
'The UK has been colonised by immigrants', says INEOS boss and Man Utd co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe

They can't, imo. I got a load of guff about peak fares and how advance tickets work WHICH I'M A BLOODY EXPERT ON. Suck it up, seems the message.

I remember writing something scathing about a Penguin anthology of Renaissance writing that included only men. In 1994.
