He was King of Wessex, & won a key battle against the โ€˜Danesโ€™ that stopped them from conquering the south-west. Heโ€™s called โ€˜the Greatโ€™ because he paid for his own biography. He wasnโ€™t as โ€˜Greatโ€™ as Cnut, who is called โ€˜Greatโ€™ in terms of Danish history, but not English history.

Kids are locked out of home ownership, burdened with tuition fees, suffer massive poverty, are threatened by the climate crisis and AI, had their live chances whacked by Brexit, have no healthcare support, and are constantly monstered by the press.

They don't need "grit"; they need fairness.

Iโ€™m sorry but if your students use AI to write papers and you use AI to grade them zero school is happening. You are running together on a hamster wheel

If you use AI during your degree then your degree is completely worthless.

WHOโ€™s emergencies director, Mike Ryan, sounds the alarm on Israelโ€™s ongoing genocide operation in Gaza. Netanyahu has turned the strip into an open air concentration camp and is deliberately starving civilians.

Texas SB37 is a sweeping bill that 
-prevents faculty in being involved in any hiring decisions
-gives political appointees control over what students learn in courses;
-limits discussions on race, sex, ethnicity, politics, religion, and social beliefs;
-restricts faculty hiring in liberal arts and related fields
-dismantles shared governance and due process
-fires faculty and defunds institutions that violate SB 37
-empowers the Governor, Lt. Governor, and House Speaker to redesign the core curriculum for all Associate and Bachelors degrees.

If you don't know about Texas SB37, it is a sweeping bill that will destroy every university in Texas. This bill has already passed the state Senate and is being considered by the state House this week.

Could you imagine if the head of the United States healthcare system didnโ€™t believe that HIV caused AIDS?

โ€ฆAnd that instead they believed that AIDS is caused by recreational drugs (โ€œpoppersโ€) used by gay people?

In the final days of the Roman Republic, Crassus was said to have become the richest man in Rome by taking his slaves to houses that were on fire & offering to put out the fires, but only after the owner had sold him the house and land for a tiny fraction of its value.

How Trump Plays Into Putinโ€™s Hands, From Ukraine to Slashing U.S. Institutions (Gift Article) Many of President Trumpโ€™s actions have been seen as benefiting Russia either directly or indirectly, so much so that Russian officials have celebrated some of his moves.

Note how much of what Trump is trying to destroy, from Radio Free Europe to transatlantic trade, is precisely what the Russians most want him to destroy
