The BBC's "top story" right now is 'Man likes wife'. This sort of story undermines anybsens of balance on the monarchy, and reveals a lack of editorial independence from the state #AbolishTheMonarchy

A UN-member intensifies genocide vs a people that a UN agency protects. Then it declares said UN agency 'terrorist' (along with its internal 'liberal' opposition). Can there be a more open&shut case for sanctions/expulsion of said rogue UN member-state? theguardian.com/world/2024/oct…

After a lot of planning and prep, I'm so happy to see our new MA programme - Global Sustainable Futures - here at @NCL_Geography finally go live online for a 2025-26 start! 🙌 If you or someone you know are interested, do get in touch, happy to chat! ncl.ac.uk/postgraduate/d…


While Starmer has been what policy wonks call "a twat" in accepting gifts, it's worth remembering that Tory leadership candidate #RobertJenrick gets £2k in expenses a month from the tax payer to rent in his constituency, despite owning properties worth at least £3.6 million.

We now have a universal workaround for LNER fares. For travel London <> all stations Newcastle-Edinburgh inclusive, DO NOT book to/from London: 1. Book to/from Finsbury Park 2. In the search results, click 'Filters' then 'Route options'. Under 'Go via ' enter Kings Cross.

Unfortunately, for travel from 1 October onwards, LNER are extending their 'fares trial', and discontinuing affordable/flexible/refundable Off-Peak fares on ALL their longer-distance flows.



Despite having seen the term in dozens of texts over the years, I still don't really understand what "ethnology" is, and how it differs from any of social-cultural anthropology, cultural studies or cultural geography.
