Book‑ban debates resurfaced. If your worldview can’t survive a library, it wasn’t much of a worldview.

Tuesday's vote on Virginia's referendum to neutralize Texas' republican gerrymandering is crucial-

VOTE YES!!

I'd be nervous, but clearly, looking at the results of all of the recent election results...

Democrats have done their homework and are turning out-
and this has trump/ GOP nervous

Bill Nye and hundreds of Planetary Society members are heading to DC on Monday to protest the White House's proposal to slash NASA's science budget in half.

Education debates resurfaced this week, and it’s striking how often we forget that a society’s memory is stored in its classrooms.

Universities ‘threatened by spurious Home Office visa rejections’ New rules will punish institutions if study visas are rejected — but they say the official reasons given for refusals are often inaccurate

When I say that what used to be Britain's university 'system' is in complete chaos and enduring revolutionary upheaval, I really mean it. If anything I'm underplaying the whole thing.

Poetic how cities are redesigning public spaces for heat resilience. Shade structures doubling as art installations, water features returning after decades of austerity, and entire blocks being reimagined for people instead of cars.

Every tech CEO is suddenly obsessed with “digital well‑being.”

This translates to: they want you to feel good while they track everything you do.

Professional ambition now requires fluency in multiple dialects: corporate, creative, algorithmic.

The real skill lies in switching registers without losing coherence--and knowing "ALGORITHMS" are driven by paying sponsors.

Like the news.

If Democrats don’t pick up Virginia seats, MAGA comes into November with an advantage and pathway to saving their skins and cheating their way out of a colossal midterm loss.

Right after Russia helps Iran target our troops for strikes, Trump is making a special exception to allow a Russian tanker of oil to bypass the US blockade of Cuba tonight. Putin owns Trump.

I have wondered about leaders in UK universities just not getting the likely end destinations for a very long time, actually. I mention them in a blog a few times but it's easy to suspect 1. Personal gain; 2. British fatalism; 3. My uni will be just fine;

Opinion | The Latest Front in Stephen Miller’s Personal War

This clear, succint explanation of what the Reconstruction Amendments were meant to do, and why people in power are now attempting to erase them, is why I’m so excited to have @jamellebouie.net at our Constitution Series with the CHF on May 17th. (See pinned post.)

Donald actually told the truth for a change, admitting that he hangs out with losers because it makes him feel better about being a loser himself.

Sad :(

One in five UK hospitality businesses fear collapse as costs surge Exclusive: Pubs, restaurants and hotels warn of mounting pressure days before rates rises and higher wage bills take effect

One in five UK hospitality businesses fear collapse as costs surge.

Many restaurants, pubs, hotels are owned by private equity extracting profits, dividends, high exec pay; and dodging taxes.

Govt can help by curbing profiteering by landlords, energy/water companies and other sectors.

Hundreds of North Sea licences granted by Conservatives have ‘so far produced only 36 days worth of gas’ Exclusive: Findings cast doubt on claims new drilling would help cut bills and boost energy security, researchers say

Hundreds of North Sea licences granted by UK Tory Govt between 2010 and 2024 produced only 36 days of gas.

Tories, Reform selling fantasy of endless gas reserves.

Energy security needs more investment in renewables, nuclear, better insulated homes, better public transport.

Good evening.
The American passport is the most secure form of government issued identification a citizen can carry.
Sometimes complications arise when seeking this for ourselves and our family members.
