Something similar is happening in Florida right now and it really makes it hard to keep a course current with recent articles and developments, even in something as benign as computer science.
TX Tech has a flow chat for guidance on what can be taught in the university system. Two things:
1. Very little content seems to be permitted. This is partisan control of the curriculum.
2. I would not enjoy teaching under these conditions, but I really would not want to be a Chair or Dean.

So my husband and I discussed over dinner why so many people thought that the OP from my Facebook group was a woman. Was it the naming of the car? plenty of men name their cars. Was it the twenty-minute shower? After some discussion, my husband figured it out:

Russian women were early to feminism. Now, though, their vision of liberation can look strangely like the domestic trap they were supposed to escape.

Russia promises not to attack any EU country. It also claims that it never attacked Ukraine. It claims that it never attacked anyone, only ever defended itself. Warsaw and Vladivostok just happened to become parts of a Russian empire defending itself.

While CNN is re-airing a documentary about Live Aid with Phil Collins playing concerts in London and Philadelphia on the same day, Lil Jon has done the contemporary, Gen X equivalent by performing today at the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade in NYC and TNF in Baltimore.

If I had a nickel for every time Lil Jon performed Turn Down For What on NBC, *TODAY*, I’d have two nickels.
Which feels like two nickels too many… but also too few.

In the mid seventies, we were never more than a day or two away from a potential coup in the UK. Usually orchestrated by a retired Brigadier General from his garden furniture in mid Sussex.

Downside: There is no plan and no courage. No attempt to sort the tax system. No strategy for the economy, like the one @johnspringford.bsky.social suggests here getting-out-of-the-hole.uk. Even good policies, like mansion tax, simply fiddle for pennies instead of properly reforming property tax.

Plus sides to today: Two-child benefit scrapped. Largely progressive tax implications. Good market reaction. No big spending cuts. Nightmare prospect of cutting funding to net zero etc avoided. It's a left-wing budget. Those who say there's no difference between Labour and Tories are bananas.

Point of order, Counselor: The Adventures of Brisco County III, with Bruce Campbell as the exasperated mentor figure. Brisco III is a Hollywood cowboy instead of the real deal. Doug Jones co-stars as Lon Chaney, who is in disguise in every episode.
