"I thought the joke was distasteful & unfortunate, & I think the way women are represented, it's a great teaching point to really shine light on how women should be championed for their amazing feats. Now I have to sit in front of you and explain someone else's behavior? It's not my responsibility."
Hilary Knight got the question re: that phone call and the laughter at the Torrent presser. Her answer:
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.

Black-and-white image of the University of Edinburgh’s Old College courtyard, with a domed tower rising above stone buildings. The Ferret logo sits in the top left and a red label reads “REVEALED”. Large white text over the lower half says: “Edinburgh Uni staff are losing their jobs. Their boss has two”. Smaller text underneath adds that Sir Peter Mathieson has confirmed he is being paid for a board role at a university spin-off despite the university’s apparent financial crisis.
🔴NEW: The principal of the University of Edinburgh has confirmed he is working a paid second job while overseeing cuts that have seen hundreds of staff leave the institution.

I am heart sore this morning at the death of Jeane Freeman, a wonderful Cabinet colleague.
Jeane gave selfless service to Scotland especially as Health Secretary during Covid. In designing Scotland’s social security system, she put dignity and respect at its heart. (1/2)
When people talk about the idea that some universities must go under, there’s a certain tendency to behave as if these smaller local campuses are negligible- regrettable casualties perhaps but not ‘real’ universities. This report does a great job of illustrating why that’s wrong.
‘If I think about what this means, I want to cry’: what happens when a city loses its university?

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.
Stay free
‘We’ll take it from here, Alex’
It says something to me that neither Renee Good or Alex Pretti weren't originally from MN- but that they embodied what makes Minnesota wonderful: neighbors.
‘Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man.’
Yall outside of MN need to know that observers are STILL out protecting their neighbors. Right now. They know the news and they’re still out there.
Minneapolis Police Chief O'Hara: "The video speaks for itself. We have identified this person - 37-year-old, white male, resident of the city. The only interaction that we are aware of with law enforcement has been for traffic tickets and we believe he is a lawfully gun owner with a permit to carry"
Remember, ‘everyone has a part to play in making the university more financially resilient’ www.heraldscotland.com/news/2577015...
Missing from the coverage of redundancies at Edinburgh: this was done in such a haphazard, uncoordinated way, there are now core teams who have gone from 5 people to 1 with no change in workload or pressure and huge loss in knowledge of institutional process. www.heraldscotland.com/news/2576321...
Sadiq by Brian Turner It should make you shake and sweat, nightmare you, strand you in a desert of irrevocable desolation, the consequences seared into the vein, no matter what adrenaline feeds the muscle its courage, no matter what god shines down on you, no matter what crackling pain and anger you carry in your fists, my friend, it should break your heart to kill.
…it should break your heart to kill.
Newspaper advert for "Edinburgh's Hogmanay", The Scotsman - Saturday 11 December 1993
🙋Did you know that Edinburgh's "official" Hogmanay festivities are an ancient tradition dating back to the last century? 🎆
1993 to be precise.
The event was dreamed up by Edinburgh Marketing and Unique Events Ltd. to "[package] Edinburgh more effectively" and thus "improve the visitor experience" 🧵👇
🙏 Josephine Ortleb for hosting @odihr.pl at the @bundestag.de 🇩🇪. We hope that the lectures by the guests from the @scotparl.bsky.social - @merylkenny.bsky.social, @petrahrens.bsky.social and me have inspired discussions on gender-sensitivity of the parliament
