New: 'Technological Change as an Undercurrent in Political Thought: Feminism, Marxism, and Resisting Liberal Environmentalism'

Tuvalu and Vanuatu on the new proposed US travel ban list. NZ state department says no passport or visa irregularities with either, and obviously no terrorists. Couldn't be pure spite about the two SIDS embarrassing the Annex 1 countries over climate change, could it?

@DrNeilStone RFK jnr is a dangerous moron, but beef tallow is comparatively fine (and tastier). Many cultures with longer life spans than the US routinely use beef tallow for frying: Belgians, for instance. It's not going to improve your health, but let's not make it a culture wars thing.

Life expectancy in your grandparents time was about 55 Beef tallow didn't seem to do the trick then...

@RichardHanania Trump just nominated x for y. This is a lunatic who will do serious damage to z. Thread here, which will only be able to scratch the surface. - perfect template.

Trump just nominated Casey Means for Surgeon General. This is a lunatic who will do serious damage to public health. Thread here, which will only be able to scratch the surface.

@widescouting Is this for the season?

@nicholadrummond Might be a mistake to think that Trump has been negotiating with Russia over the past week. Seems he's actually been negotiating with Ukraine, with Russia as leverage. End seems to be the effective partition of Ukraine, with the US getting resources and Russa political control

This is the best summary of the current geopolitical situation I have seen. Sir Alex Younger was head of MI6 between 2014 and 2020. Really worth watching.

@jtworr Meh, not so much. Disraeli was an appalling chancellor. His first budget was chaos - described as 'wild work' by his own cabinet colleague - and ultimately defeated in the house. Later he pursued a course of austerity which, if not opposed, would have destroyed the British navy.

Disraeli out, Donna Coleman’s “Covid Anxiety 5” in at the Chancellor’s office. Hard to imagine a more fitting image for the economic nightmare in store for us under this regime.

@Tato_rugb @T2Rugby @PlanetRugby Tblisi is a great city. Anyone who goes there will have a whale of a time.

@CaolanSRugby Jesus Christ. I'm not sure I've seen a better bench in this competition before.

Good grief, that's a pretty formidable Leinster bench

@RuaidhriOC Wow, this has aged really badly. Can you not see that players and pundits model appropriate behaviour towards refs? If they can rage and spout conspiracy theory nonsense, their authority lends validity to fans doing it. Why do you think it's so hard to find refs at youth level?

The message to players today is clear: Back in your box, your opinions & personality are not welcome. Continue to toe the line with banality, because if you dare to step out of line we'll come down on you like a tonne of bricks

@jim_demps Look for home grown players in our squad between the peak ages of 28 and 34. Six years and there are bugger all. That's dreadful and it caused a vicious circle that impacted our budget. We need to stop letting the Munster branch off the hook for this failure by blaming the IRFU.

@jim_demps Go back through old academy squads. They're all available online. Amazing the mediocrity. It's not even that we didn't produce players good enough for Ireland. We produced fuck all players who were good enough for Munster.

Articles highlighting the great divide should have started 2 seasons ago when the IRFU reduced 3 out of the 4 provinces budgets There should have been alarm bells when 3 budgets were reduced again this season. Any divide has been union orchestrated It’s chess with cheque books

No matter how many times you've done citations and referencing, no matter how many new precautions you introduced during the writing process, you are always left with at least one or two stone-cold whodunits
