Inject it into my veins. God save the King and thank God that we're not another beige, sterile country whose parliament looks like the conference room of a mid market hotel chain branch.

This whole thing looks mad. The jewels, the ermine, the gold and the sparkly hat. Talking about local bus services and mission-led delivery.

More broadly, protests targeting civilizational monuments like Stonehenge or the Mona Lisa reveal the creeping misanthropy that is infecting a growing element of the climate movement. My research is on human extinction: climate activists often tell me extinction would be good. 7/

Architektur lässt Geräusche entstehen, multipliziert sie und wirft sie auf den Verursacher zurück, etc. Durch Audio entsteht also ein ganz eigenes Raumklima.

Can't quite believe this. By the looks of it, the murals are fully destroyed.

Church fire is now at a 4-Alarm. Some adjoining buildings have been evacuated as a safety precaution. Main body of fire knocked down with crews extinguishing spot fires. No injuries. Expect crews and traffic to remain on scene. Avoid the area where possible. ^dc

Literacy skills seem to fuel literacy enjoyment, rather than vice versa

May you be as independent minded as Marilynne Robinson, who when asked by WSJ to recommend 5 books chose only ones published before 1564.

I think it’s important not to assume that frustration among academics with the particular (often stupid, paperwork intensive, and reeducation campy) forms that DEI takes in academia is the same as frustration with the goal of achieving diversity/with diversity initiatives as such

What we really need are universities that support scholars who never publish articles or monographs, but spend their whole lives editing and translating primary sources. The problem is not that we’ve become obsessed by publication, but that we don’t prioritise primary source work

There should be room in academia for professors who don't publish, but who know things. Not dead wood, who stopped learning in 1995. I mean: leaves for the summer, reads all summer rather than write, smokes a pipe on the quad and will talk to you about stuff.

You can be a sociable person without posting everything you do on social media (and thus opening your whole life up to targeted advertising).
