“ABC7 spoke to Pertissue Fisher, a woman who lives in the building. She said ICE agents took everyone in the building, including her, and asked questions later….’They was bringing the kids down, too, had them zip tied to each other.’”

It can’t happen here, you say. But it is happening.

My workload has at least doubled (in terms of teaching hours, numbers of personal tutees, admin commitments etc.) since I started.
Workload is the major factor forcing academics to quit their roles, with some of the perceived benefits of working in universities actually adding to the strain, finds a new study. Juliette Rowsell reports https://www.timeshighereducation.com/news/benefits-working-academia-can-add-workload-stress

I do think that a lot, particularly as I relisten to my two audiobooks on Anglo Saxon history... So many of the people who lord it over of us are basically in place because their distant ancestors were better bullies than those around them. It doesn't seem much of a qualification.

I have no idea whether number 10 are even aware that their acc has been shadowbanned but surely any public service acc still using X should be made aware of this interference! My personal feeling is that this is reason enough to ban X in the UK & I'd urge you to amplify this.

I'm not under the illusion that I live in "the greatest country in the world" but when Americans mug off Britain I just have three things to say:

1. Our supermarket sandwiches are undefeated, American food is BAD.

2. Our wall plugs are undefeated, North American plugs suck.

3. Day. Month. Year.

It occurs to me that @psychicsquirrel.bsky.social AND @edcarver.bsky.social are both doomed in their Wülferhampton political ambitions against Wülfhelm.

Why?

Because the true ruler is NOT the Wülfhelm but rather Mrs B.

The eminence grise*
The power behind the throne.
