Tuition fees are rising again and nobody is happy – it’s time to actually fix our broken university sector | Zoe Williams The figures simply don’t add up for higher education in England and Wales. Yet delusional politicians from all parties seem intent on avoiding the issue, says Guardian columnist Zoe Williams

TRUMP TO LILLY: DROP DEAD

In the Netherlands, it's still duizend - miljoen - miljard - biljoen.

The US are now an unreliable partner and unreliable provider of military equipment.

European (including Ukraine!) industry must fill the gap.

Thanks for bringing these to my attention.

I have just checked with my 9-yo. He has seen some at school and his enthusiastic praise ended with a simple order:

"Order them, all of them!"

BREAKING: Putin calls for emergency mediation session between his two employees.

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

Will Trump still ban all refugees except the totally legit white South African refugees?

This is like a football match between two teams you dislike so you support the referee.

Apart from the fact there isn't a referee in this match, but at least both of them can lose!

Steve Bannon wants Elon Musk deported, as per the NYT.

Quick. Somebody tell Trump that the best way to own Elon is to restore all research grants and double NSF funding.

Nog een bekend gezegde:

Bevat je coalitie een obsessieve islamofoob, dan is er voor de regering uiteindelijk geen hoop.

#wilders

Als het niet over moslims gaat dan is #Wilders niet geinteresseerd.

De VS hebben T.A.C.O., Nederland heeft W.A.C.O.

#Wilders

Wilders showing he is more *against* islam than he is *for* ordinary Dutch citizens.

Dit is wat er gebeurt als je islamophobie sterker is dan de wil om iets voor de gewone burger te doen.

HELEMAAL NIETS BEREIKT.

If you think Reform will solve the UK's problems, just have a look at what Wilders achieved in the Netherlands.

Zero

Nothing

Big promises, but in the end his only belief is islamophobia.

Normally politicians want to stay in government as long as possible, to maximize the chances of delivering their promises and because being in power is nice.
With Wilders the opposite applies: the longer he stays, the clearer it becomes that his pledges are undeliverable.

Five years on: how Brexit changed three scientists’ careers How did the United Kingdom’s formal departure from the European Union in January 2020 affect scientists who had moved there from mainland Europe?

I'll regret not speaking out for the rest of my career.

"Brexit highlighted the need for scientists to speak out about European Union ideals and more generally on the influence that political decisions can have on science. I regret my lack of action before the vote."

A serious thing for Harvard to consider would be to relocate before the endowment is exhausted. Sell the campus land and move to another country and keep operating. Read the fate of CEU here below. They relocated several times and recently from Budapest to Vienna.

Maybe Bessent should have a look at what happens when 50 states are represented by one group, or even just one (orange) person.

Oh wait, that results in a pretty strong position on the world stage, however good or bad that position is.

We need a game of "who's next?" but the problem with this level of evil stupidity is that it is hard to predict where the next one will drop, even though we know that it will happen again.

Chancellor Reeves: "Our biggest trading partners are our friends, our allies in the EU. For too long it's been too difficult to export, to bring in talent, to trade with our nearest neighbours and that's not good enough because it's held back our growth."

Incredible that this even needs saying. ~AA
