Die FIFA hat nun also endgültig entschieden, dass die Nationalmannschaft des Iran bei der Fußball-WM in den FSA spielen muss.
Jeglicher Kommentar ist überflüssig. Man braucht nichts dazu zu sagen. Es ist alles klar.
I should have known this country was fucked when Marcus Rashford asked the government to make sure poor kids didn't go without food during the pandemic and the media acted like it was some insane radical idea.
Our PhD student Kennedy Orwa, who studies applications of AI to health care, was hastily deported today to Kenya along with his 13-year-old son without opportunity to speak to legal counsel.

This is one of the lowest days in the long and proud history of @ipswichtown.bsky.social, a club built on real community values that chanted down racist songs by Chelsea thugs in the 1980s. I'm ashamed.
No one is trying to tell you that you are not allowed to feel nostalgic for what Harry Potter may have once meant to you as a kid; they are literally just asking you to not fund their destruction.
This is crass.
On the back of flogging Iron Age coins, this new 'publication by press release' claims a level of certainty never seen in true scholarship.

They were brilliant. The seeds of a successful future Liverpool are there. We haven't seen it anywhere near enough but embrace it, embrace them.

VICTORY! Government to open up the Land Registry - bringing to an end a thousand years of secrecy shrouding who owns England.

The ERC-BROKENSONG project at Maynooth University, Ireland, is hiring (two positions - this is the second)! I'm also looking a new research assistant/postdoc to conduct image analysis of the medieval Insular music corpus recovered within the project. See: www.timeshighereducation.com/unijobs/list...
