Yep

from a collaboration in Lebanon between child refugees and artists. This one always gets me.

fortunately, I have heard from my PhD student based in Jerusalem and my other PhD student who was doing field work in Abu Dhabi and they are both safe. Reaching out to all my students from the region as well over the weekend, but University is ill equipped to support them at moment.

personally, I try to avoid using the term theocracy but now isn't the time for academic quibbles.

Weekend reminded me that while I care deeply about Spurs, worrying about them and relegation pales so far in comparison to life and death worries.

It's one of the biggest rivalries in football and they were scrapping all match. Rangers heated they gave up 2-0 lead.

Played well too.

They've cut ours at Edinburgh by 10 percentage as well.

"Both things are true, and the refusal to hold them simultaneously - whether by softening the indictment of Trump’s reckless handling of this war or by allowing the indictment of the theocracy to launder the intervention’s motives - is the only form of dishonesty this moment does not permit."

“the population of Iran should rise up and seize power and then also be ruled by this former royal family we happen to have ready for just such an occasion”

man, do you hear yourselves

The kids won 4 matches to 2 but a fun day and just a wee but of rain. My 12 year old was texting me angry updates.

Sounds like I'm happy to have missed it

Nothing like the blood of today's Old Firm which is a win either way for my Hearts!

Most of the kids will be English to be fair and they'll be shocked to discover that most of the staff playing aren't senior professors at private clubs but our working class janitors, joiners, and admin support staff. One of the only reasons I took to golf here was it remains an every person game.

Uni of Edinburgh student vs staff golf match so will miss it live!

The solutions to local, national, regional and international geopolitics are complex and involve a host of moral and ethical compromise. Condemning another act of imperial aggression from USA and Israel is straightforward.

They aren't collateral damage, they are human beings of infinite and irreplaceable value.

I hope you aren’t drunk and took your staff’s advice, Rashida and I don’t know this man and feel confident he didn’t care about us. Please restrain from drinking too much as you have been warned from your staff and stay off social media when you are drunk. I pray in his holy month you find peace and respect for your self,

uhhh oh my god

Exactly

Condemning Trump and Bibi doesn't mean supporting the Iranian regime.

Iranian supreme leader killed in Israeli airstrike, source says Neither the U.S. nor Iran have confirmed the death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The wave of airstrikes began after sunrise in Iran, with huge explosions ringing out in the capital Tehran.

Breaking News:

Booing players for breaking their fast and justifying another imperial war in the Muslim majority world are far more intertwined than you might think.

being an open liberal society includes finding ways to respect and honour certain forms of social/religious diversity, even if it involves a minor inconvenience to the status quo.This becomes more complex, but if we can't even support this, how the hell can we deal with more complicated realities?

the majority of the democrats in power are cowards and soft-core warmongers, but Trump and his cabal are delusional war criminals.

This is the best of us and the very worst of us.

I think if I'd gotten away with attempting a coup, suffered no consequences for it, then won an election four years later, got away with executing citizens in the streets and foreigners in boats, and successfully abducted a head of state, I too might think I could just bomb my way to regime change

Here’s the thing: a President openly contemptuous of Congress & willing, unilaterally, to recklessly and illegally commit the US to wars of aggression is an existential threat to the Republic, *regardless* of whether he can ultimately explain his acts to Congress.

The demand must be impeachment.

yep, just look at how horrid West Ham looked and then a little run of form. We need to steal one at Craven Cottage and regain some momentum.

The next two are huge! have to get at least 3 points, preferably 4 or more.

win the next 2 and then we can actually enjoy being in the round of 16 of CL...and then beat Forest before the international break!
