How is this repeatedly made into a policy issue - by *all* parties - when the blunt fact of the matter is that grown adults who are obliged to pay for their own education, and relentlessly pursued to repay their loans, should be able to study whatever the fuck they want.

Because it feels relevant as we continue to evaluate the media and our representatives’ statements, my favorite way to identify the active vs. passive voice.

A post by Rebecca Johnson:
“I finally learned how to teach my guys to ID the passive voice. If you can insert "by zombies" after the verb, you have passive voice.”

A tumblr respond from mightymur:
“The final, brilliant word on passive voice.
"She was killed [by zombies.]"<--passive
"Zombies killed [by zombies] her." <-- active”

Courtesy of @thefence.bsky.social I discover that David Mellor has an absolutely incredible house and absolutely execrable taste. Apparently this is decorated in the manner of John Soane. Yeah. Sure.

A reminder to Mel Stride that it was the late #CleoSylvestre who in 1971 coined the joke, "I'd be delighted if Enoch Powell gave me £2,000 to go back where I came from. I could get a smashing place in Hitchin for that."

"And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it ‘the future,’ AI is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be re-consumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line".
