The Trump disbelief that the Norwegian govt doesn't control the Nobel process is deeply indicative of his thinking. He can't conceive that an institution could (or should) be genuinely independent of coercion or political power. That's the change he represents.
Trump: "I should have gotten the Nobel prize for each war...I saved millions and millions of people...and don't let anyone tell you that Norway doesn't control the shots. It's in Norway. Norway controls the shots. It's a joke. They've lost such prestige.“

Whatever my uni declares, I am not going to engage with AI. I am not going to use AI or teach students to use it. I am going to continue to explain to students why it is harmful. Absolutely absurd to allow this anti-intellectual, environmentally devastating technology into the university at all.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

Federal agents are pulling over off duty cops based on the color of their skin.
This is not a serious operation to enforce immigration law. It’s a performative show of force and it’s gotten way out of hand.

The Epstein files aren’t just client lists of powerful people who raped children.
They are also records of a global network of blackmail, payoffs, and cover-ups ON BEHALF of those rapists.
Besides protecting himself, this was a gold mine for Trump.
He’ll never give them up.

One of my favourite of the images of Sheffield created in the early 20th century by artist Walter Hayward Young (1868-1920) for postcard manufacturer Raphael Tuck. He often signed his work by the pseudonym Jotter. In his lifetime he created more than 800 such designs.
