2 years ago 1 of my students did a high school thesis on 'Outsiders.' Marc was kind enough to engage with her via e-mail about her work, & gifted her 2 prints. The 'Outsiders' book is now one of the most popular borrowed books from my classroom shelves, and his work inspires even here in India.

My own partly U.S.-funded international school, there is lots of '9/11' memorialising, and fair enough: mostly U.S. passport-holding diaspora Indians, U.S. citizens heading admin. Today is also the day when, yearly, I show students the Ken Loach short included in the "11'09''01 - September 11" film.

Today marks the 53rd anniversary of September 11th when General Pinochet with help from the USA overthrew the democratically elected Salvador Allende leading to mass executions locally and turned Chile into a testing ground for neoliberalism which has destroyed the planet and killed millions

"Homo sapiens non urinat in ventum." A peculiar inscription above an archway in Amsterdam, which appears mostly at odds with empirical reality, though oddly inspiring if taken as an imperative (it isn't, so don't @ me on my poor understanding of Latin...this is not *that* scene from 'Life of Brian')

Despite never having had much time for his writing, my undergraduate years meant the reading of much of his stuff, so as to cut my philosophical teeth, as it were. Sad to hear of his passing.

2 different things can be simultaneously true. 1. I don't want to watch highlights of us losing only our 2nd game of the season, and 1st at home, to Bradford, on a Thursday night, from home in India. 2. I am so happy to see the owl crest back #WAWAW

Nigel Farage is like the moon that only shines because of the light from the sun - his power comes from those around him. The Clacton by elections shows why politicians should stop dancing to his tune - my latest newsletter column for @theobserveruk.bsky.social observer.co.uk/news/politic...

Farage has been guilty of extraordinary hubris – Burnham ...

In a desperate attempt to regain momentum, Farage has exposed his own weaknesses, and points to a better way for mainstream parties to deal with his form of populism
