I took all of your advice.

The new boards are now live in the SLATED Landmark Collection.

Feel free to point out any errors. It was a bit of a rush job.

Reposts would be amazing.

Nike co-founder Phil Knight makes record-setting donation to help elect Republicans It is the single largest donation Knight has made to an Oregon candidate or political action committee.

Phil Knight is almost single handedly funding the OR GOP, one of the more extreme state GOPs in the country. Keep that in mind next time you’re in the market for sportswear or sneakers. www.oregonlive.com/politics/202...

This is Β£600m from the same university sector that is pretty close to collapse in a growing number of major institutions?

Many of them universities that are among the biggest employers in the very β€˜left behind’ towns and cities that Labour talks so much about…

The Economic Impact of Brexit Other

Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have Β£40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

#AcademicSky anyone remember a Scienceℒ️ article published that challenged the orthodoxy that men and women sorted into hunter and gatherer roles, respectively because of evolved biological diffs? I can't google my way to it so hoping someone knows what i'm referring to....

Not only is Labour’s policy insulting and cruel to those who want to make a life in the UK, but it’s also incredibly stupid. Why on earth would you want to discourage nurses and teachers from settling in your country?

new paper by Sean Westwood:

With current technology, it is impossible to tell whether survey respondents are real or bots. Among other things, makes it easy for bad actors to manipulate outcomes. No good news here for the future of online-based survey research
