I don’t think JD Vance meant to be dismissive of British and French military support in Iraq and Afghanistan. He just didn’t pause before opening his mouth. The people round Trump think they’re the masters of the universe at the moment. I don’t imagine it’ll last.

Really good article including interviewing experts on what we can expect from measles (but shouldn't have to).

As the Texas outbreak grows, how contagious is measles, really?
Vaccination eliminated measles from the U.S. 25 years ago. But it can still spread in pockets where vaccination rates are low, like the west Texas county with a current outbreak. Here's how fast.

I am so sad about the government scrapping the Latin Excellence Programme mid-year. It was bringing Latin to a range of state schools (with considerable success, as I have witnessed). I am trying hard to resist the idea that it is ill-informed prejudice against the subject. tinyurl.com/5fjr9ywk
Schools face 'significant disruption' after Latin scheme axe
The government has announced it is ending its state school Latin programme mid-year as it seeks to cut costs.

This is crummy treatment of students and teachers who have been working hard to pursue a subject that interests and excites them. I’m sorry the government feels that is something to discourage rather than reward. I hope there are ways to ameliorate the damage done today.

@bsky.app please cease blanket labelling accounts with gender critical views as “intolerance” e.g. @naomicunningham.bsky.social …that is unless you plan to label pro-trans accounts in the same vein.
Debate is good; opinions and the ability to voice them important. Let’s all be adults and discuss.

It really worries me to see the left increasingly act as if free speech & free expression are right-wing issues/talking points. Put aside your dislike of the people involved & look at the substance rather than come to tribal snap judgments, for the love of god.
