Speaking for myself here-so all the problems are my own. And in my day job, I am Director of Community Engagement and Professor of Politics at Ulster University.
Great to be at the launch @ulsteruni.bsky.social of our exciting new Flourish project supporting engagement and research on the long and rich cultural and linguistic contributions and interconnections through Gaelic languages and forms of Scots to the north of Ireland and west of Scotland.

After this Dutch election, parties with 1% of the vote have members in parliament. 22 seats are distributed between 8 parties none of which won more than 3% of the vote. One party went from 20 seats to none in one election. Reflects opinion but stable government hard? Good or bad advert for PR?

Elections show huge volatility of Dutch electorate. Only 2 years since last election: Left-liberals treble their seats, Wilders loses a third of his, Christian Democrats recover from 2023 disaster and Centre-left have very poor outing. Alt-right Ja21 go from one seat to eight. No sign of stability.

After Hiroshima, the only way to stop escalation to the extremes is to find ways to escape our conflicts before they escalate to the extremes. Otherwise, ‘doing what it takes’ means justifying mass slaughter as ‘collateral’ to a higher end

Excellent Conference of the European University Information Systems (EUNIS) @ulsteruni.bsky.social this week. Vital discussions and signposts on the future of AI, education, engagement and ethics which should be part of a wider conversation. Great graphic recording by Ruth Graham. #EUNIS25

I’m convinced the association of cycling with the carry basket more than with lycra is a key step in normalising it as an everyday activity for all ages and genders. Not getting into the hemet debate -but few on view in Meran/o last week while the off-road tracks were brilliant.

Ken Bloomfield was a crucial advocate for change in NI from within the system. His work after retirement was groundbreaking, especially in relation to victims. Along with Maurice Hayes and George Quigley he was a key public servant enabling NI’s transition in the 1990s.

Dancing on the street in the sunshine 🌞 to celebrate 50years of a Ballynafeigh Community House and one if the most successful community-based intercultural districts in Belfast. A genuinely remarkable story.
