Solidarity to colleagues at Essex.

The government absolutely has to do something to help the university sector in the UK, instead of overseeing its destruction

Because our lovely Bluesky app is so stingy with character maximums per page, I really should list the names of the rikishi who are NOT kyujo for the upcoming Winter Jungyo that begins THIS Sunday, November 30.

To add to the excitement, the shimpan department is reconsidering its position about Aonishiki's Ozeki promotion this basho, and will have a meeting BEFORE tomorrow's matches, to decide on criteria for it.

The new Asahifuji will be using one of the old Asahifuji's kesho mawashi for his shin-deshi presentation on day 8. So he is going to probably be the first modern history to wear both a chon-mage and a kesho-mawashi with his own shikona on it.

I guess this is not known to everybody - NHK World made a change to their live website, and now their sumo highlights are available at this link as soon as the first broadcast ends (which means 17:00 UTC of the day of the actual matches).

Pickets across the country. A march through Leicester.

Hundreds of jobs on the line.

We’re not standing by while the sector burns.

We will continue to fight.

Congrats to all involved for yesterday!

“We were absolutely gobsmacked.”

48 courses axed, music, languages, mental health care, childcare.
No consultation. No vision.

This is why we’re voting YES, to stop the destruction of our universities.

HOT LIBRARY INTEL: you can ask your library to purchase specific titles for their collection, usually right through the library's website.

Librarians can't know every single new title, nor can they mind-read what their patrons might want to check out. Give it a shot!

Casualisation. Redundancies. Course closures. Attacks on our terms and conditions. Enough is enough.

reading slaughterhouse 5 for the first time and i was absolutely knocked senseless by this passage, which is so true and relevant that it feels like it was pulled from a history book
“America is the wealthiest nation on Earth, but its people are mainly poor, and poor Americans are urged to hate themselves. To quote the American humorist Kin Hubbard, 'It ain’t no disgrace to be poor, but it might as well be.' It is in fact a crime for an American to be poor, even though America is a nation of poor. Every other nation has folk traditions of men who were poor but extremely wise and virtuous, and therefore more estimable than anyone with power and gold. No such tales are told by the American poor. They mock themselves and glorify their betters. The meanest eating or drinking establishment, owned by a man who is himself poor, is very likely to have a sign on its wall asking this cruel question: 'if you’re so smart, why ain’t you rich?' There will also be an American flag no larger than a child’s hand – glued to a lollipop stick and flying from the cash register. Americans, like human beings everywhere, believe many things that are obviously untrue. Their most destructive untruth is that it is very easy for any American to make money. They will not acknowledge how in fact hard money is to come by, and, therefore, those who have no money blame and blame and blame themselves. This inward blame has been a treasure for the rich and powerful, who have had to do less for their poor, publicly and privately, than any other ruling class since, say Napoleonic times. Many novelties have come from America. The most startling of these, a thing without precedent, is a mass of undignified poor. They do not love one another because they do not love themselves.”

The Kyushu Banzuke was released. A few days ago, I posted this summary to give a bit more information about this all-important ranking sheet and explain what you see there. Here it is in Japanese, and English from the Sumo Association website. Leonid's banzuke prediction worked out pretty well. On my first glance, he got everything right down to Fujinokawa.

Kusano is called Yoshinofuji now. All those Isegahama guys get -fuji shikona, and he'd probably have got one earlier if not for the turmoil behind the scenes at the stable (as the JSA tried to force Hakuho out of sumo without looking like they were doing that). Apparently means duty or righteousness
