The UCU Northern Ireland Regional AGM/Conference took place today. We were pleased to welcome the Gen Sec Jo Grady to @qubelfastofficial.bsky.social campus. Not surprisingly, the voluntary severance scheme and ongoing related issues were a key topic for discussion.

Thom wants to listen to the song 'Beastie Boys Oh Yeah'. Delighted he wants Beatie Boys, but what song could that be? Help!

Jonny has taken Thom to Portstewart for the night to spend time with his Nanny. The work day is over. Do I start drinking now, or do I have to wait for a socially acceptable time?

Thom and I are doing this. I direct him to the correct pieces and sometimes I'll find a wrong piece beside the right one, as a guide. Last time he said 'Mummy, it is so kind when you try so hard to find the right piece. But I think you want to try again and then you can do better'.

At the Oh Yeah Centre for Acoustic Picnic which is lovely. But I think this is the first time I've been here sober. Life has changed a bit over the last few years.

Trump has deployed active military to help round up migrants and put them into detention camps.
The military forced us out of our homes at gunpoint in 1942 because we were considered possibly disloyal Americans. They sent us to internment camps for four years.
History is repeating. Pay attention.

This is what religion was to me when I was young. I'd love to know more about this bishop. How did they end up being the person leading this prayer service. Did they request it? Were they nervous? Did they see their Christian duty here, as Jesus demanded in Matthew 25: 34-36
Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic.

I only just read that Musk's maternal grandparents had to leave Canada and relocate to South Africa because they were Nazi Sympathisers in Canada, so you'd think he'd be aware of the weight of the gesture. Aside from the other, more general reasons for why most people don't use it.

I just heard about this and thought it was going to be one of those situations which could raise eyebrows but you couldn't be sure. Nope. I can't see how this is interpreted any other way.
Elon did a nazi salute at the inauguration.
Twice.

When was he cancelled? He's on TV constantly and has several really well paid Netflix specials. Nothing changed except he got some criticisms.
Jimmy Carr: ‘When you get cancelled, it’s not the words of your enemies, it’s the silence of your friends’

I've been researching the idea of Unconditional Universal Basic Income since 2013. Here's a collection of findings I've compiled from various UBI experiments and studies of cash transfer programs around the world.
This will be a VERY LONG and ongoing thread focused entirely on empirical evidence. 🧵
