‘Is university still worth it?’ is the wrong question The graduate earnings premium isn’t really measuring what most people think

Turns out (says @jburnmurdoch.ft.com) it's not so much an oversupply of graduates in the UK (the same would be true of other similar countries but it's not) as an undersupply of the kind of jobs that a better-performing, more productive economy would supply.

Sometimes I think maybe my asd doesn’t affect me that much and then I attend an industry event and I wonder briefly how I am even still alive.

Just read the official statement from the Westerosi govt that when they appointed the mysterious spymaster, Master of Whisperers, Varys “the Spider” to an official post, they had no idea he was in any way dodgy or duplicitous and this has come as a complete shock to everyone.

let me tell you this: margaret thatcher would not have stood by peter mandelson for being friends with jeffrey epstein!

she would have befriended epstein *herself*, had home over to christmas dinner several times, and knighted him against official advice!

Reading about Epstein pulling strings on things as broad as the creation of /pol/, the vilification of trans people in media to the formation of the lib dem tory coalition feels like living in the third act of an m night shyamalan movie.

How can this be real?

Can we stop mocking Trump for incontinence. I know he’s a monster, but I’m not saying this for him.

There are lots of people with incontinence issues that don’t want to hear everyone laughing and mocking someone for it.

Mock him for something else, like being a generally repulsive immoral fascist.

Miss me with your story of an enchanting fantasy world that turns out to be a trauma-induced defence mechanism. That will make me sad.

I don’t read fantasy to feel sad. I can manage that very well without assistance.

Man this is such bullshit. He was appointed *because* of his links to, if not Epstein directly, that group of people. I’m almost certain commentators acknowledged it!

It is utterly insane that Trump rode to power on a wacky conspiracy theory about a cabal of wealthy and powerful child abusers, all the time in the full knowledge that he was part of the actual real thing.

Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)
Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio) YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

🧵In my expert opinion as a researcher of vehicle ramming attacks, what has been publicly described in the video evidence does not support the claim that Renee Nicole Good was attempting a deliberate ramming attack when she was shot in Minneapolis on January 7, 2026. 1/7

Maybe this will finally be the moment that makes them all see what has happened to America, he says hopefully, while applying the clown makeup again.

As flagged by @fullfact.org, there's an ENTIRELY AI-GENERATED video of a fake UK politician in the House of Commons doing the rounds on TikTok

It has more than 5 million views

While the original video is flagged as AI, it has been reposted by many other accounts (where it is not labelled as AI)

Masked government agents are killing people in the streets, abducting people from their homes in the middle of the night, and arresting those who speak out.

If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?

Got a new pair of really comfy slippers for Christmas and I see now how this is actually an amazing present.

All those years I thought dads were just hamming it up but this actually fucking rocks.

It’s shocking how fast the Israel flag has been adopted by the far right in the UK. These are people who in normal circumstances would have pretty foul views on Jewish ppl, but now using it as a symbol because of palestine flags. They are so anti-islam they’ve become pro-judaism. Really odd times.

I dunno, seems like a very temporary solution with some permanent consequences. Has anyone tried this?

All of this could have been avoided if everybody in the world to the left of Maxwell from Big Brother 6 had agreed to pretend Elon Musk was funny. We chose authenticity and that was wrong.

If can all agree on a rota so that every day someone messages him to say “You are cool, relevant and sexy like a motorbike” we could avoid a lot of further damage.

Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?
