Reworked this old favourite, chiefly for amusement of sad people like myself - credit owed to the original author except I don’t remember their name and not even sure I ever knew it.
Man, one of the most depressing aspects of modern scholarship is finding a great article and then looking up the scholar to see what else they’ve done and just catching a glimpse of an abbreviated career hopping between visiting positions and publishing great pieces before disappearing from academia
Committing war crimes is now official US government policy. The UK should continue to distance itself from the USA, and end the dangerous dependence on its defence and intelligence capabilities.
One I'll keep an eye out for 👍
Phantom or Skyhawk definitely.

Alarmingly, she's an education reformer
An excellent thread- hugely insightful.
Cheers Chris!
They're both new to me - will give them a look! Cheers for the recommendations!
Very much on my radar 😁
