Saw a colleague on another app posting it & verified: As of this morning, Google has already conceded to the ridiculous “Lake America” nonsense but Apple has not—But they did eventually cave on the Gulf so it’s just lag Interesting to think about how dynamically-updating maps aid fascist bullshit

They openly admit their election crimes & are actively doing everything they can to undermine & outright steal the Midterm Elections. Any surprise he fired the remaining members of the Election Assistance Commission? He knows if he loses he's headed for a 3rd Impeachment & an orange jumpsuit. 🤞 👍

First they came for the EU. Then the ECHR. They say leaving both will mean taking back control. It’s all lies. What they actually plan to take away is 100+ years of hard won worker’s rights, children’s rights, women’s rights, HUMAN rights, all of which make YOUR life better.

Sensing your body (‘Interoception’) is everywhere in theories of mental health. But when we tested how well hundreds of people sensed their heart and lungs, the link to symptoms was almost nowhere to be found. 💣 🚨New @natmentalhealth.nature.com paper 🚨🎉 asks why 🧵 www.nature.com/articles/s44...

“You said the 2020 election was rigged by either Venezuela or China. When you called that fella in Georgia pleading for 11,780 votes, was that part of the rigging, or part of the 6-year investigation? Just one more thing, sir, who was president while all this rigging took place?”

President Obama: “We pulled it off without firing a missile. We got 97% of their enriched uranium out. There’s no dispute that it worked and we didn’t have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait of Hormuz.”

Students, if you’re thinking about dropping a note to that teacher or professor about what their class/project/mentorship has meant to you, but you worry it will be cringe or cheesy, let me just tell you they will coast on the fuzzy feelings prompted by that note for months, if not years

This comes up every so often. Happy for them to exist for those relevant. What I really want to see is a discussion on *decelerated* degrees (possible LLE links now?). www.timeshighereducation.com/depth/are-ac...

Are accelerated degrees the solution to higher education’s problems?

The idea of shortening the duration of degrees has always run into concerns about loss of intellectual depth or infringements on academics’ research time. But amid concerns about universities’ finance...

This is Trumpism, British style. Vengeance on migrants, with mass detention centres and doubtless an ICE style-occupation force. Plus bonus vengeance on those who didn't vote for you. Grim.

This is grotesque on multiple levels.

Kinnock’s Observer column: 6-8% GDP gone, £90bn a year in lost tax, trade with Europe down 15%, investment down 18%. All sourced. All independent. All measurable. Brexiters’ answer? Still “but the sovereignty mate”. The most expensive vibe in British history.

No. The big divide in Britain today is between the rich and the poor. Reform are on the side of the rich. Specifically, rich white English racists who hate the poor and the vulnerable and don’t think they deserve to have rights or public services or dignity.

Please take a minute to watch this and repost.

🇺🇸 v 🇪🇺 food Listen to what this American says about what a US trade deal really means for our food and health. While talking about “reset” with Europe… Starmer’s government is opening the door to US 🇺🇸 standards. That’s how they’re trying to make Brexit work.

Nothing kills excellence like micromanagement. Nothing. I’ve seen it across FE and HE. Talented people, driven people, then a leader shows up who can’t let go. Suddenly the energy shifts. Questions replace initiative, permission replaces judgement and people stop bringing their best thinking 1/
