- Reposted by Terry O'ConnorThere’s a v cynical media and political blindspot in the Epstein shitshow. A feeding frenzy to get rid of Starmer while red-carpeting Farage into No10. Who is named in the files. As is Candy, Reform’s treasurer. With Bannon. And Brexit. Don’t cry about abuses of power and then do nothing about him.

- Reposted by Terry O'ConnorI feel obliged to remind everyone that there are plenty of countries where higher education is either completely free or cost a token amount of tuition money and that many of these countries offer top notch teaching and research. It’s a political choice.
- Delightful!
- Reposted by Terry O'ConnorThe history of evolutionary ideas about chins took me to Darwin, Pliny the Elder, Stephen Jay Gould, and Theodore Roosevelt. It's an irresistable subject that has befuddled scientists all this time. www.johnhawks.net/p/what-the-h...

- Reposted by Terry O'ConnorI wonder if our university leadership team are grateful that we didn’t vote for their preferred candidate for Chancellor in 2015, Peter Mandelson, and elected Lemn Sissay instead.
- Reposted by Terry O'ConnorExcellent article but stark reminder that for all the perceptions of universities as ivory towers for elites, they are actually vital hubs in towns n cities supporting local businesses and providing key services as well as education….

- Reposted by Terry O'ConnorWhat I find so weird about the data centre panic is the assumption that technology won’t change again to make these needs obsolete or at least different. It’s like Victorian transport planners trying to work out where all the horses will be stabled in the year 2026.

- Is it because many animals are well enough adapted to their specific lifeways that they don't need to artificially extend their phenotype? I've always assumed that this is why cats never invented bicycles.

- Reposted by Terry O'ConnorExtraordinary: Mandelson told Epstein that JP Morgan should "threaten" then cabinet colleague and chancellor Alistair Darling over tax on bankers' bonuses. In plain language: "Minister conspired with US bank against own government". More brilliant FT reporting www.ft.com/content/91e8...
