Yeah, I too was horrified. The size and prominence of those images was meant to traumatise people as they went about their day. I can’t believe it is allowed.

Thought you were talking about Duane Keaton and wondered what I’d missed.

As a regular Voi user I am often frustrated with how inconsiderate other riders can be with their parking. In addition to not obstructing others, do they not realise we could lose these rights if we’re jerks about it? I move scooters off the path all the time.

They do. That is an agreed parking area. The riders have just not been considerate about where they left them.

Michaela and her article are indeed brilliant.

“I often tell students that source analysis is about the skills and imagination the historian brings, rather than just the nature of the source”

New post on a brilliant article from Michaela Kalcher on a 1790s diarist

‘Céléstin Guittard de Floriban did not leave much of a mark on history,’ writes Michaela Kalcher. What this unremarkable bourgeois did leave, however, was a day-by-day account of the Fr…

How is this making anyone safer? Why has our government decided to waste police and courts’ time with this nonsense? People peacefully standing up for human rights are not the enemy.

🚨BREAKING: The metropolitan police
arrest a man for carrying a copy of our magazine. This is a threat to both journalism and freedom to protest

I believe it aired during the live special Kimmel hosted after the Oscars one year. Another great star-studded skit from another Oscars special was the “Handsome Men’s Club”. youtu.be/MyGJXLxtVEo?...

Badenoch wants to eliminate ‘rip off degrees’ like English. The usual philistine crap that a degree is just about work. The mission to create the stupidest nation on earth. And counterproductive. Young people will work for years. They’ll retrain endlessly. A degree can help them learn how to learn

As a student there, it’s not an improvement. It’s all flash.

“We’re also hoping that the research facilities for our researchers and early career researchers take us into a completely different stratosphere for them so that they feel they can thrive.”

‘Research facilities’?! There isn’t even graduate study space. The faculty shrunk by half. It’s all flash.

'The gleaming palace to the humanities – the single largest building project ever undertaken by the University of Oxford made possible by the largest philanthropic gift it has ever received – stands in stark contrast to the beleaguered, shrinking state of the rest of the sector.'

Oxford’s largest-ever project ‘shows what the humanities can do’

New building which brings together disciplines for the first time will also open its doors to the public to engage with big questions facing the world

Agree. But also, as a student there, it’s notably all flash. The actual usefulness and space is much worse than the old faculty building.

The most telling argument I have against private school is that I’ve met several people over the years who’ve been to private school who somehow never heard arguments against private school.

I think you might be overthinking this.

Slightly different thing when referring to the Channel Islands though? Which are British islands?

What are we even doing here. Why is this a priority, at this time? ‘The force said 488 arrests were for supporting a proscribed organisation.’ Even if it were a terrorist organisation, how is peacefully holding a sign in support against the law?

And, in order to access the building, and our faculty within, students have to take an induction course online. Such important information as -you need a Bod card to enter the library -it has toilets - there will be a cafe open to the public.
