I won't be happy till King Charles III is called Charles, the Queen Consort is called Camilla and Buckingham Palace is called The Green Park Paddington Bear Experience.
It's important that we never forget the lesson of the World Wars: You can never have too much nationalism.

Faculty Applications: Describe your teaching pedagogy

Me: Well, from what I have learned in the punk rock pit.... I meet every student where they are and pick them back up so they can achieve their career or personal goals

This is just to say

I have looked on
the works
that were in
the desert

and which
you were probably
thinking
would still stand

Forgive me
they were trunkless
so vast
and so old
Once upon a desert sandy
As through winds the trav'ling man he
Spied the face of Ozymandy
Lying, simply lying there
Suddenly there was some writing
Pon the plinth that he was sighting
That the sand and time were blighting
Quoth the statue, "Now despair"
There was an old man you could gaze
At his works in despair in a daze
If you looked upon them
And were mere mortal men
'Ozymandias mighty', it says

It's 1940, and the British Prime Minister, Cabinet, BBC, War Office, and the Royal Society are all merrily broadcasting on Reichs-Rundfunk-Gesellschaft

Because that's "where the conversation is...."

The moderate left needs to challenge this kind of nonsense. NATO is a diminished alliance that is finding its feet at a critical moment – pushing back against an actual imperialist power.

I don't know who to credit this image to, but anyway, they got the price wrong.

I have a very bad feeling about this...
The only rational choice.
If I had Rundell's talent, I would not be taking that.
I'm sure that particular obsession is entirety and utterly unconnected to any particular fetish that Peirs doesn't have.

Cnut. He's forgotten about Cnut, who went on pilgrimage to Rome in 1027. Oh, and Edward I, who spent 2 months at the court of Gregory X in 1273. Otherwise, all over the detail, as per.

Technically true or not, Enid was pretty sure that her husband George was never going to call her a witch again.
