“Within a week she seemed back to normal. What I didn’t know was that measles can cause long-term complications. A child can seem fine while the virus slowly replicates in her brain, poised to exact a terrible toll years later…. Parents should know just how dangerous this disease is.”
'Universities are also banned from using non-disclosure agreements to silence victims of campus misconduct, protecting vulnerable individuals who may have faced harassment, abuse or sexual assault.'

Disgusting, heartbreaking, wrong. HE leaders are callous vandals, we can't go on like this
Just appalling. There is literally no incentive to work lotally for a university. No amount of good performance is ever banked in your favour. Grim. Jobless. Punitive. I'm so sorry.

MacFarlane: Are we to pretend we didn’t watch all that on television on January 6th? Did we not all see what happened at the Capitol?
These vacating of convictions, these pardons, are communicating to the American people: do not believe your lying eyes
A 91-year-old peace activist has crossed Ireland on foot and arrived in Dublin to petition the government to bar US military flights via Shannon Airport. Lelia Doolan completed a two-week, 220km (138 mile) trek on Wednesday accompanied by throngs of supporters.

For the second day, the BBC are running a story that presents itself as providing evidence of endemic abuse of the asylum system based on seemingly a single encounter with someone who is neither a lawyer nor a registered immigration adviser. Words fail. This is reprehensibly irresponsible.
When you reach the point where the answer you reach for is 'let's get rid of a quarter of the people who actually make this place possible', you have GOT to ask yourself some questions about how bad you are at managing, no? #UKHE

I'm sorry you have this unbearable stress. At this point there's nothing but waiting for the second shoe to fall. Grim.

Lets hope jd vance campaigns for Reform in Britain
Péter Magyar victory speech:
"We want to make a country where no one is persecuted because they think differently or because someone loves in a different way to others."
He may not have campaigned as a liberal. But this is a huge change of direction and rhetoric from Orbán’s anti-LGBTQ+ crusade.
Orban concedes defeat. The support of Trump, Vance, Putin, Lavrov, Weidel, Milei, Le Pen, Fico, Babis and many others could not overcome Hungarian anger at a stagnant, corrupt regime

ok NOW i bet Zelenskyy will thank JD Vance
A really profound and memorable speech for our times.
And I bet there are still Academic Standards and Quality Assurance managers who would still want you to develop criteria grading profiles for each degree classification.
Wow, Mark Carney speaks on multiculturalism (what a contrast to island of strangers Starmer!)
Mark Carney, "Canada is a nation forged through accommodation, not assimilation"
"Through partnership, not domination"
"The founding insight of our country is that unity does not require uniformity"
Kennedy canceled $500 million in mRNA research and announced no new mRNA projects will ever be initiated—killing the technology that produced the fastest vaccine rollout in human history.

Police can't issue a fixed penalty notice as they can't find an address for Mandelson. If he is out on bail, surely he is required to reside at a known address? Why not just arrest him?

It looks like DJT has met a kind of tariff he doesn't like.
JD Vance learning that unblinking loyalty and 'moral flexibility' may not be rewarded.
"What once might have been a cruise to the 2028 Republican presidential nomination now looks more like a run through the Strait of Hormuz."

Brilliant from @wonkhe.bsky.social as usual.
Honestly, there's no AI that could compete with Karoline Leavitt.
I believe Hungary is a member of the EU but not of the USA.
