I grew up among Conservative politics. This is beyond that now. Defending a neo-nazi candidate shows how far Badenoch has shifted them to the far right. There is now no difference between her party and that of Restore and Reform. That should not be normalised. www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

Now, let's see how the hell I write interlinear glosses in LaTeX with an arbitrary number of lines (orthography, orthography by morphemes, phonemic transcription, phonetic transcription, gloss, translation, and note or comment)
LaTeX question: in the Leipzig package, any idea how you get the Leipzig glossary to print *only* those Leipzig glosses used in the text, and not the entire list of default defined Leipzig glosses?
God damn brain fog There's a LaTeX package that does exactly what I want regarding glossing abbreviations (leipzig)... but can I understand the detail? No, no I can't. Have you ever just had a brick wall reading something that you know you used to be able to read? It's terrifying!
Fraser Nelson once wrote an article about how the UK is the best place to be young gifted and black when I asked him how many Black people work at The Spectator (let’s face it plenty of sell-outs would) he said “I hire on merit” lmao
Mic Wright@brokenbottleboy.bsky.social · 3d agoFraser Nelson reckons Rod Liddle was “the greatest satirist since Swift” while Michael Gove is comparing him to not just Swift but Orwell. Amazing the comparisons you can get if you’ll pump out exactly the racist opinions even they are too squeamish to commit to print.

Joshua Bonehill-Paine, creator of satirical Crewkerne Gazette, has convictions including for harassing a Jewish MP A former neo-Nazi activist with convictions including for harassing a Jewish MP has been selected as a Conservative candidate for a local election in Somerset.

Haters focusing on Liddle's violence toward his pregnant partner, his galloping racism, or his repeated defences of paedophilia, should remember to mention he was also one of the worst writers to ever do it. A calorie-free hack of the first water. Just absolute dogshit, back to front.

Between the 1970s and 1990s the UK state made a strategic bet to expand Higher Ed. They poured in untold billions of your money. Now it's been handed over to private creditors to burn in a furnace. Then they just laugh at you: at all the taxes you've ever paid or will ever pay. True story. (2/2)
In late 2023, the Society spent a day with Hertfordshire’s historians. We saw the quality, creativity and distinctiveness of teaching, research and engagement. We were told by a (now departed) senior manager that History was ‘a portfolio the university will guard very carefully’. bit.ly/4hLediN
Glen O'Hara@gsoh31.bsky.social · 4d agoSo it's farewell to the History subject area at the University of Hertfordshire, not the first nor the last to go. One of the best departments in the country, just extinguished like a snap of the fingers. Think of the waste. (1/2)

I read that paper. It doesn’t say what you think it says and has nothing to say about the US. Those graphs don’t compare the same things at all, you fucking idiot. Apparently you can’t read and just make shit up to support your crackpot ideas, you goddamn fascist.
This is a rather weird question, but does anyone know anything interesting or fun or tasty near Finchley Road & Frognal station? There's a new building next door (317 Finchley Road) which is interesting (structural stone construction), but I'm not shlepping over there just for that
