This gets my vote. Increase your focus by reducing the amount of items you are trying to focus on.

Sometimes you just can't do everything. It is OK to postpone and prioritise your goals! #AcademicChatter @PhDVoice @PostdocVoice #AcademicTwitter #AcademicMentalHealth

And what businesses ought to be asking the govt is why are they subsidising this strike? At the end of this current phase, the government will have absorbed £320 million worth of losses in order to keep the strike going." @RMTunion Mick Lynch #SupportRailWorkers #RailStrikes


#PMQs Since coming to power the government have made below inflation pay rises in the public sector when global economics were good, i.e. oil prices, inflation, etc.. Now, it's a pandemic and a war in Europe. Opportunities to safeguard the future have been squandered.

WOW. Rep. Porter just read the testing costs to CDC Director Redfield, who did not know them, and got him to commit to using his authority under existing law to make #Covid_19 testing free for every American. This is real leadership. cc:@realDonaldTrump


it would be have been more helpful to know about the road works at least 24 hours before they start, and not while we are sitting in the traffic jam. Kinder to close Newmarket Road. The junction is a major bottleneck so just put a cork in it.

UPDATE: #A1303 Newmarket Road #Cambridge - LONG DELAYS for westbound traffic due to the temporary traffic lights near to the P&R, with queues affecting #StowCumQuy. Please allow extra time for your journey or avoid if possible.

Wow. You are describing my life.

I would like to have a nickel for each time someone in authority asked for feedback only to defend, deflect, or explain away every bit of feedback their subordinate colleagues gave. And this is not "bad managers" either, usually competent in every other way.



Help a stranger: if you see somebody fighting with their phone to pay for a coffee, or finding they do not have enough money for a bus fare, or just struggling with the day, try your best to help them. Seeing the stranger's stress evaporate is thanks enough.

Don't forget the middle and the far-left. Having free speech means you take the good with the bad. You don't have to like it, but you are free to not like it.

A webcam stream of an unassuming Dutch roundabout on Gorsstraat in Pumerend has become an unexpected internet sensation. Approximately 3,500 people from around the world watch the feed (day and night), despite the fact that nothing spectacular happens. youtube.com/watch?v=e8cxjN…
