Menopause is a major neurological event in which the brain rewires itself. It is a coordinated shift in brain metabolism, connectivity & cognition—on a scale comparable to puberty. www.zmescience.com/feature-post...

Human Rights Watch now confirms that Venezuelans deported to El Salvador faced severe abuse in CECOT. Nearly half had no criminal record. Many were seeking asylum. The U.S. funded these transfers despite clear warnings about the risks.

One of my colleagues went to a seminar at Berkeley and when someone asked a question Derrida brushed it off saying ‘what you ask may be important but it is not interesting’.

I refuse to live in your limited notion of what kind of hope, justice and love is possible in this world. There is a key to let us all out of this cage but it cannot be found until we all agree it exists.

The government is finally scrapping the cruel two-child benefit cap.
This decision is long overdue, but I’m relieved for the 450,000 children who will be lifted out of poverty by the end of Parliament.
Today’s announcement wouldn’t have been possible without the tireless work of campaigners.

Olms (Proteus anguinus) look like you took an axolotl & stretched them out. 'Dachshund axolotls', if you will.
They're a cave-dwelling salamander that live deep under the Alps of Central Europe. When floods flushed them out to streams, they were described as 'baby dragons'.
And they lack eyes...

It's not *just* academics and students (two groups that Starmer's Labour despise and see as undesirable) who populate universities. They employ vast work forces! There are administrators, cleaners, cafeteria staff, gardeners, post workers, builders all dependent on their university remaining open.

Gender-affirming care saves lives
1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.
It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.
It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

here's your headline:
They (OfS) still expect 45% of ALL universities to report a deficit this academic year. They are not accounting for "significant variation" across the system (i.e. different types and sizes of institution).
