I'm always tempted to respond with max snark when I see those replies. Then I remember that I'm supposed to be an adult. Boo.

I'm not sure my French is good enough to understand the full subtleties of Libé's review of the Michael Jackson biopic

Middle East crisis live: Trump leaves Situation Room to golf as ships report attacks and Iran closes strait of Hormuz Unicef pulls out of north Gaza Strip after fatal attack on contractors, and UN peacekeeper killed in Lebanon

Glad to see he's taking the job of clearing up the shitshow he caused seriously and not just... Oh.

Maybe if they mined the bunker on the 13th hole, rather than the Strait of Hormuz, he'd take it a bit more fucking seriously.

Yeah, that sweet USS investment in Thames Water is definitely going to pay off one day...

‘I feel like I’m losing her’: the families torn apart by older relatives going far right It starts with a ‘back in my day’ nostalgic meme – then suddenly your elders are sharing AI-generated ‘boomerslop’ and repeating conspiracy theories …

Fascinating.

On the staff!!

This is what we do - 6h for Y1, 6+3 for Y2 (the half-day for finalising analysis, and vivas), and 6+6 for Y3.

If teaching staff are just content pushers, and not getting their students to do some thinking in class time (and giving them something meaningful to work on outside), that's on them.

Lab programmes are often the most tightly-coordinated and carefully scheduled parts of a degree. If theory learning "suffers" at the hands of the lab, it's probably because of massively varying expectations in a plethora of taught courses delivered by a small army of unherdable cats.

We always try to avoid other things being scheduled on lab days. I'm not saying we always win the fight with the god of timetabling, but I'll always ask if a 9am, or a 4/5pm can be moved.

The first one being "who the hell timetables lectures at the same time as labs?".

So the Trump administration’s two goals in peace talks with Iran are:

1. A commitment by Iran not to develop a nuke (This was part of the Obama deal that Trump canceled)

2. Opening the Strait of Hormuz. (Was open before war.)

at my first book launch I gave three of my closest friends minus ones (they could look at the guestlist before I sent the invites and remove one person each), think it should be a more widespread practice

The United States lost the war with Iran and is now also forcing the rest of the world to pay the reparations the US owes.

I am, and it is, and no, they don't

Chamberlain was famous for attempting to appease the Nazis. Surely that's *exactly* what Trump wants?

people split hairs about the genocide classification all the time, but Trump unambiguously wrote down his intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national group, and then he broadcast it out

Well, if America would only see fit to actually make some use of their oft-vaunted constitutional checks and balances, we wouldn't be in this stupid fucking situation.

Donald hasn't sent the builders up yet, they're too busy putting up a tacky ballroom.

No, fuck you. You don’t get to suddenly decide that copyright matters when folks suddenly have access to the source code of your spicy autocomplete due to your own incompetence.

I would maybe argue that sending people on a lap around the moon is something you can do once you have a population that isn't at risk of bankruptcy from a bloody hospital visit.

Maybe if you held back from starting stupid fucking wars (that, incidentally, make life more expensive for the citizens of your country), you could afford to give a shit about your population.

Is that for the auditory learners at the back? 😜

It looks like they're struggling with the party salute.

Name it after the thing he'll ask for when he inevitably loses. Recount.

I dunno, I generally think that being "fundamentally ignorant about teaching skills and pedagogy" is less of a bug and more a feature with *most* ed tech...

Every time you think we've hit peak stupidity...

Donald Trump post: "Robert Mueller just died. Good, I'm glad he's dead. He can nol onger hurt innocent people! President DONALD J. TRUMP

We really need to be saying, "What a piece of shit this guy is" more often.

Sometimes you just don't *need* to check who is involved, do you?

I see that much like with the original SNL, they've opted to hire writers who... aren't funny.
