Grunking, slowed down by alternating anger and incredulity so not sure if this has been covered, but
56FC49BF-CA04-4C34-9CCC-D15BFCBD5756.png

Rest easy @Boyo - there’s no way this ballix would get past any research/funding committee, and there’s no way any university would put any kind of case for support type of thing forward - too much reputational damage potential.
•Where is the clearly articulated proposal?
• What is the statistical methodology to be used?
• Where has the data come from? Is it accurate? Is it truthful? How will it be cleaned? Where is it being stored? Is it secure? Does it meet all the relevant criteria? Ethics? Who has access?
• Have all relevant legal criteria been met to obtain, store and share the data. Have those agreements been signed?
• what is the feasibility of the dataset being able to answer the research questions? What exactly are the research questions? Who understands the variables enough to be able
• On what platform will the queries be run? Is it secure/accredited?
• What are the planned outputs? Impact pathway?
• is the research reproducible??????

et fucking cetera….

the answers will include - “random submissions from squigs on Twitter and a box of damaged illegible thermal paper.” And “granular mathematics” and finally “leave me alone pal”.

so no, no PhD will arise from this viral contagious idiocy.

Back to my grunk….

Quoting myself because there's a few 😲 reactions to this, so I thought it's a good time to re-post this article https://www.standard.co.uk/lifestyl...e-s-adding-politician-to-her-cv-a3522251.html

Some snippets ...

I like data research facts. But I do hope she publishes something, just so Chris Gill and RIce Bag accountant get a look at it

I’ve had a look and our new grocery expert Steve dresser is also director of a company and it looks like everything is up to date and above board. I’m glad one of our grocery experts is paying taxes.
 
Before I log off to catch up with what's going on in the Ozarks, I just want to say, I don't mean to get all political and you can think what you like about Corbyn, it just sticks in my craw that she's talking about 'first you feed the people and then you riot' or whatever. But what *really* gets my goat is when anyone who questions her is described as a 'right wing nut job' or similar, when it's people from the left who could and should be countering the narcissistic, self-serving portrayal of herself as some sort of hero for ~the poors~. She doesn't care about anything other than her own hustle.

"What can't of prick would I be if I, no longer in poverty, stopped campaigning about it?"

I don't know Jack, maybe the kind of prick that claims to have, *checks notes*, £34.34 to their name. Prick.

Jack you were stomping your feet about not being able to afford the bus fare when someone suggested going to a different supermarket yesterday. Pick a personality and stick to it.

'Then you riot' is quite funny from someone who felt the need to wear a Kevlar vest to Glasto.

Oh I agree. There has been, to date, no discernible contribution to knowledge (and, let’s be honest, Turnitin would likely explode!) 🤣

Inspired by @TraceyJacks

Our Jackie, who art in Southend
Harrowing be thy face
Thy tweets will come
Thy will be done, on PayPal as well as on Patreon
Give us this day, your daily beg
And forgive us our poorness
As we hunt down those
Who dare expose you
And lead us not into texture
But deliver us from flavour
For thine is the griftdom
The tip jar and the tories
For ever and ever and ever and ever and ever….

@Boyo, if I could triple heart this, I would. Bravo you mithering ninny you!
 
Anyone interested in understanding how we got to a default position of lack of nuance and analysis in the news, these short films by Adam Curtis on iPlayer are interesting. Apologies to non-UK fraus who can't access them, you might be able to find them elsewhere.
Content warning: there are some brief, distressing news footage clips from countries affected by conflict and famine. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p07c6llv/adam-curtis-shorts-oh-dearism
