My contempt for this place's owner has finally outstripped my inherent laziness, so I'm set up over at the blue place. Will gradually find you all over there I guess.

Ppl on both sides saying you’ll never understand someone’s vote when you start from completely different worldview which I get, but hasn’t it always been like that? Weren’t we always in bubbles of community and work? So why does it seem so much worse rn? Just that we see it more?
In a tutorial today I asked students to think how they’d model what would happen if a water company dumped a load of pollution into Derwent reservoir. Obvs highly unlikely example* but great to see them thinking how to apply maths to real world. * Actually very likely indeed

@graham_northrup @MLBEurope @MLBUKCommunity Yeah Elo ranking is simple but does sort of up-weight recent results. Obviously anyone to #BeatLA is good by me but my British love of an underdog means I’ll be rooting for the Tigers.
I’ve stat-attacked the postseason to predict World Series winners (teams scored by Elo rankings from season’s results, then simulated 25,000 postseasons). Sadly (as a Giants fan) Dodgers are favourites, but looking hopeful for Tigers @graham_northrup @MLBEurope @MLBUKCommunity

Calling all those at @SheffieldUni! Are you aware that next week Senate is considering whether to recommend changes to its composition and powers to Council? And do you care? Here's why you should, and why this is really important stuff. 1/
@graham_northrup Btw I was watching a webinar from NSF/UKRI about their EEID partnerships programme and they put up your hyper parasites paper as an example of the great work from the scheme 😎
As did everyone, Liz, thanks to your hero, Thatcher.
Sucks that @MLBEurope @MLB isn’t making tonight’s last ever game in Oakland @Athletics the free game of the day. But then guess they’d have to face up to their leadership’s role in allowing this farcical move to go through. #RootedInOakland Oakland #SellTheTeam

A student asked me a question: I am sometimes told that it is “easier” for me in STEM as a student from an UR background because of all the grants available to me. How do I respond to this? I wanted to expand on my answer a bit here…
Whoever put together the top two articles in the weekly news email with a straight face deserves a medal.
End of my 2nd full season of baseball. Big thanks to all @SheffBruins @BladerunnersBC and @MANCBASEBALL for setting up development league. Great bunch of ppl. A broken finger, weather and team numbers occasionally got in way, but happy to finish with a .200 average and .467 OBP.
@TerribleMaps Everyone focussing on size of Wales, but feel like bigger issue is Isle of Man is not part of the UK.
@AldiUK you seem to have forgotten to put the toppings on our pizza 🤷♂️
I don’t want to take the credit for the result or anything but I did use vindaloo spice mix in our tea so…
Looks to me like you can now walk from Holy Island to Portland Island without setting foot in Conservative territory. If only one Borders constituency and one in Devon had also rejected Tories could have done Land's End to John O'Groats
