I sat down with one of our MPP alums, Ema, to discuss interactive teaching at the Blavatnik School of Government. I promise I didn't feed her the 'it's like a beautiful symphony' line.

Student life: Interview with Ema on interactive teaching For the past eight years, the Case Centre on Public Leadership has been working with Blavatnik School faculty to bring interactive teaching materials into the classroom. Our case writers sat down…

How do you teach real-world policymaking? 📚🌍

The case method goes beyond lectures, putting students in the shoes of public leaders making tough decisions under pressure.

The attack on the Ahli Arab Hospital (#Gaza) ostensibly violates #IHL in several ways. The one generally missed:

The foreseeable civ harm of taking out the last hospital is manifestly #disproportionate even if there WERE a command&control target.

Sauron, he’s building tremendous things in Mordor, and they're buying a lot from us. We’re keeping it fair, we’re keeping it smart, no tariffs on Mordor. I know Sauron very well — very strong, very good guy — and he respects us, believe me.

Making cup cakes and vanilla coffees great again.

2nd top tariff (47%) on Madagascar ( extreme poverty 80%)

to punish them for selling vanilla (production 3000 tons, top export to US).

instead of hockey mums buying from US producers (production 0.2 tons).

It's not really a choice. If I couldn't work from home two days a week then I'd either have to cut my hours or quit because the only nursery in the village doesn't operate long enough hours for me to do a full day work + commute + drop-off and pick-up.

I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky

Absolutely must read story of detention for profit

Listening to Bo Burnhams “Inside”. That was a moment. So good.

Spelling his name Zelenskyyyy now to show even greater solidarity.

There has been a lot of chatter today about Zelenskyy's meeting with Trump, some regarding this moment when White House correspondent Brian Glenn asked if the Ukrainian president plans to wear a suit. I want to address idea in this thread. 🧵

Winston Churchill at the White House wearing a one-piece garment known as a siren suit.

Zelenskyy's character can be judge more directly by how he treats others and whether you think he's protected his country. From what I've seen, he has treated Americans with respect. His attire is to remind people he's at war, not unlike Churchill wearing a siren suit to the White House in 1942.

Mark Zuckerberg in a hoodie.

Trayvon Martin in a hoodie.

Just look at how we view hoodies. On Mark Zuckerberg, the hoodie is a symbol of whiz kid meritocracy breaking norms and developing the New Economy. On people like Trayvon Martin, the hoodie is sometimes seen as proof of criminality. Again, it's about the bodies beneath the clothes.

Vance smiling during the moment when Brian Glenn asked his question.

As a general matter, I also dislike the idea of respectability in dress because the concept is often unevenly applied. It bothered me to see Vance smirking during this moment, as he supposedly champions the forgotten working poor who are most often shamed because of these concepts.

Few wars are as historically, morally & legally clear cut as Russia's aggression against Ukraine. An American President unable to pick between Putin & Zelenskyy the cause of the war, the dictator, the one not ready for peace has switched sides & abandoned reality.

This is where we are.
