If Trump is breathing, he’s lying. The country needs to be rid of him AND his cult.
Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social · 13h agoIt's funny that Jeanine Pirro brought a box of evidence to WH to persuade Trump.

Me and @barbmcquade.bsky.social on this: newrepublic.com/article/2139...

Financialisation of UK Higher Ed. & functional stupidity
The higher education sector across the anglophone parts of the world, amongst others, is in continuing crisis. At present that crisis is most visible in the UK through the proposed, and implemented, redundancy programmes, real-terms cuts to overall investment in research and ongoing (at present - annual) national level pay disputes between the largest academic trade union and the employers group…

If the head of US intelligence isn't able to say who won the election in 2020, then maybe he shouldn't be head of US intelligence.

'What is perhaps remarkable about the Exeter cuts is that they are targeted at some of the university’s most successful departments, many of which turn over a profit even after they have made enormous and increasing contributions to the central university budget.' Read, rage and weep.
The Crisis in Britain’s Universities
The cuts that have been proposed at the University of Exeter demonstrates the crisis of purpose in Britain’s universities. Should not universities also be places to prepare for "eternal dwellings"?
