This absolutely sums up Westminster...Tory and Labour ministers laughing with each other about the Monarch lobbying them to protect frivolous things while children starved.
How Queen Elizabeth stopped @George_Osborne from making cuts to the Highland bagpipe school 🏴👸🏼

In an all too nearby possible world, I’m a 53 year old guy in a van heading to a play a gig in a crummy club, wishing he had gone to grad school…

I was just on the @colinmcshow on CT Public Radio talking about lottocracy. Part of a fascinating show on lotteries: (1) powerball/scratch offs, (2) lottocracy, and (3) Shirley Jackson's story The Lottery. Great mix!
The lottocracy part starts at 27:45: ctpublic.org/show/the-colin-…

There's a crisis of academic casualisation and precarity at the LSE. Insecure and short-term contracts are rife. We're social scientists, so we decided to research how serious the problem is. Here's a thread with our key findings, 28-page report + code repository. @ucu #ucuRISING

I just calculated I would save 3 lives per year if I donated half my salary. Clearly this means I'm an individual with high impact value, therefore I could better spend that money on myself to avoid burnout, so I've decided to keep it 😌

Not-very-responsible reporting from @BBCNews. Established secure people on full-time contracts (such as myself) get these kinds of salaries. The big issue is that the system relies on a lot of folk living hand-to-mouth on fractional bits and pieces...

“Nice array of pasties you’ve got today. I don’t want one, I’m just making small talk… Fancy a pint later on? No? Neither do I. Thank you.”

Peter Singer offers no way out of global poverty, rather he promotes a horrible corporate utilitarianism. I wrote this with James Kent about why his moral philosophy is better understood as apologetics for the status quo.

“We are no longer afraid; We fight.” A massive billboard on a highway in Tehran. And this has been happening all around the city. The message is telling enough.

This interview offers a fascinating look into the origins of a stalwart CUP series, with Skinner as ever in excellent form—well done, @mkw38!
Last week, I interviewed Quentin Skinner about the Cambridge 'blue books' series, if his contextualism implied that he was a political 'realist', whether one could historicise contemporaries, and if he would write an autobiography - it was truly riveting
