Sorry 1 day lmao

A tweet from Donald Trump that reads “Don’t worry about China, it will all be fine! Highly respected President Xi just had a bad moment. He doesn’t want Depression for his country, and neither do I. The U.S.A. wants to help China, not hurt it!!! President DJT”

Just a reminder that Wikipedia is the only remaining reliable source of information that right wing billionaires can't control. (Although they'll never stop trying.)

Please donate to them whenever you can. Even a little bit helps.

Stephan Brandner versucht seit Jahren, die Grenzen des Sagbaren mit gezielten Provokationen im Parlament und darüber hinaus zu verschieben. Dahinter steckt u.a. der Versuch, Rechtsaußenpositionen zu normalisieren & die repräsentative Demokratie zu delegitimieren. 👇 www.tagesschau.de/inland/innen...

Stephan Brandner rückt die Grenzen des Sagbaren nach rechts außen

Stephan Brandner ist einer von zwei AfD-Abgeordneten, denen die Immunität entzogen worden ist. In der Partei ist er durchaus umstritten. Er erfüllt dort aber auch eine Funktion. Von Lissy Kaufmann.

i see it more the other way around. the new album is discussed for its social media strategy which i see as a continuation of her business acumen. this goes parallel to her artistic appreciation. others have be discussed in this way too, but much less. this might be the consequence of an ever

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

One of the best things I did in Amsterdam is to tell students that I’d make the taped lectures only available to them when the average turnout at lectures was 67%. Taught them a lesson on collective goods and coordination. It worked!

Margot Finn @eicathomefinn.bsky.social · 1d

'It is no secret that student attendance has plummeted in recent years, with near-empty lecture halls a staple of the post-pandemic world.'

Really? I lecture to all our 1st years. Lecture hall is full, not near-empty. Student engagement picked up last year and (early days) seems stronger again. 1/2

Fiction ‘brings lectures to life’ as academics face empty classes

University ‘whodunnit’ inspired by attempts to tackle poor attendance as scholars look for novel ways to engage mainstream audiences

Dutch counter action against extreme right protest: sponsor a participant to the extreme right demonstration, for charity for humane goals. Great idea.

Zondag gaat extreemrechts weer demonstreren tegen asielbeleid in Amsterdam.

Samen draaien we deze mars van haat om naar een sponsorloop van hoop! 'Sponsor' vanaf €3,- een extreemrechtse demonstrant om geld op te halen vóór medemenselijkheid en humane opvang: buff.ly/87Lxs1t
