Let’s talk about unfinished parts in medieval and early modern manuscripts. Why would you chose to not finish, for example, a figure on an illuminated manuscript page? The lower body part of the man on the left is only drawn, no colours at all… #bookhistory

I absolutely hate this. Cutting funding for this program actually costs more because people are homeless again and have to access other programs. But while right-wing parties bang on about saving money they’re actually just being cruel to those less fortunate than themselves.
Sadly the current right-wing coalition government in Finland has cut the funding for the nation’s “Housing First” success story, & homelessness is now on the rise again. That just reinforces the fact that such programs work, if political ideology doesn’t stand in the way.

In case you missed this, the BBC edited a historian's speech about Trump to remove the claim that he's "the most openly corrupt president in US history." This came after Trump had threatened a $1 billion lawsuit.

This is called “chain refoulment” and it’s illegal under both U.S. and international law. And the State Department and ICE know very well what Ghana is doing and simply don’t care.
ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

Reminder that UK libel law sucks compared to the First Amendment & Times v. Sullivan, and this is why Trump in his first term said he wanted to "open up" U.S. libel law.
NEWS --> BBC confirms to me that they did edit a line out of historian @rutgerbregman.com's speech. It called Trump "the most openly corrupt president in US history."
BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked.
