A shocking story of how universities and royal colleges have corruptly covered-up the activity of rogue doctors.
"Reputation managers" can be criminally dishonest.
Read the history related by the excellent Dr Peter Wilmshurst.

Greenland is happening. Not a joke, not trolling, not a distraction. He has already made up his mind and nobody who matters in the inner circle will try to talk him out of it. Some of them want it precisely because it will destroy NATO. There are no adults in the room. They really mean to do it.

5 years ago, there was a bloody, lawless, and deadly attack on our nation’s Capitol. A group of criminal thugs broke out in riots and stormed our Capitol in an attempt to overturn the results of a free and fair election at the direction of the President of the United States.

This is straight out of the fascist playbook.
The White House published a website with a revised version of the Jan. 6, 2021 attack. It criticizes Democrats and some Republicans for engaging in what President Trump has called a “witch hunt” against him after the attack.
White House publishes website that rewrites history of Jan. 6 attack
Five years after a mob of Trump supporters violently stormed the Capitol to stop certification of Joe Biden’s victory, the Trump administration is still fixated on a false narrative.

one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it

On-the-record White House statement about Greenland:
“The president and his team are discussing a range of options to pursue this important foreign policy goal, and of course, utilizing the U.S. military is always an option at the commander-in-chief’s disposal.”
The U.S. has become a bandit state.

Publicly parading your captives is what the Romans did. It's one step away from public executions. It's shows the spiralling barbarity of the Trump regime. Their primitive, sadistic need for performative cruelty will only get worse until they're brought to account.
Trump exhibits Maduro in an open door van.
Do you know who else publicly exhibits their captives like trophies?

The best thing about 'retirement' was not having to mark exams.
🏁 And let the exam marking commence!
Still TBD whether I hate marking exams more than I hate writing them...... will all depend on whether my students wrote me any jokes this year.

He’s utterly unhinged and out of control. Congress could stop this in an instant, but its ruling party, the GOP, has become equally untethered from principle or reality. Too many Americans still cheering this on without any comprehension of the disastrous consequences, for themselves or the world.
President Trump suggested on Sunday that the U.S. could take action against other countries after its attack on Venezuela. He threatened Colombia and its president, described Cuba as “ready to fall” and reasserted his desire to take control of Greenland.
