Last Monday I had open heart surgery to replace my aortic valve. I was discharged yesterday.

The story of me and my heart is a long, complicated one but 21 July 2025 is an inflection point.

Me: I'd like like to enjoy a glass of wine on my birthday and just forget about the troubles of the world.

My wineglass:

Never change Poznan.

Hence me oversleeping by 20mins this morning. Working a full time job AND playing in the Stanley Cup is tiring.

Following @mh-christiansen.bsky.social's wonderful idea of asking students to produce meme's about their studies, I asked my intro critical discourse analysis class to meme the course....a selection.

I'll be summing up and finishing my undergrad CDS course with the help of this absolute mensch. We'll be talking about the role of the researcher, the role of the teacher, education as praxis and Peppa Pig (again)

2nd paper looking at 'Fascist themes among young MAGA men' by @a-b2.bsky.social @tinasoo5.bsky.social & colleagues. Using DHA to compare language of C20th fascism with that of current online MAGA spaces. They found similar antisemitic language but a relative lack of dehumanising terms 3/3

First presentation entitled "Ghosts in the Algorithm:
Hidden Hate and Coded Speech on TikTok" looking at how users subvert AI and human moderation to continue hard and soft anti-trans hate speech - perhaps of interest to @stavrosling.bsky.social, @dimitrisrf.bsky.social 2/3

Perfectly curated concert this weekend in Poznan, if you're a lover of police procedurals.

If he didn't know about it then it's a worrying lack of knowledge on the historical immigration discourse by the PM and his speech writers. If he DID know, then it shows he has no problem with the framing. Either option reflects very badly on Starmer
