Carlos Alcaraz hitting some of these cross-court shots nearly 5.5 hours in is hard to fathom.

Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner’s Roland Garros final becomes the 2nd longest Grand Slam final in the Open Era.

1. Djokovic & Nadal 2012 Australian Open, 5 hours, 53 minutes.

2. Alcaraz & Sinner 2025 Roland Garros, 5 hours, 29 minutes.

It was an honor to witness it.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd.
It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

We don't just need universities to train doctors and engineers... We also need humanists, to help us to understand the world we live in. I am striking because we need to educate the next generation of teachers, journalists, and opinion makers.

We know a lot of colleagues and students still doubting to strike. Here is why it matters:

Imagine a long row of dominoes, perfectly aligned. The first one stands at the edge – seemingly insignificant on its own. But once it falls, a chain reaction becomes inevitable.

Still internalising the Vance Munich speech. A sitting Vice President goes to Europe, barely says a word about the despotic murderous regime which has invaded its neighbour, and instead lectures his allies about freedom of speech. It’d be funny if it weren’t so serious.

Haven’t been very active here since my dearest son’s passing, now a little over a year ago. Have experienced immense grief but also continued soul-to-soul communication after so-called death. Am writing a book about my journey now. Will publish in 2025 with Balboa Press, an imprint of Hay House.
