I see the Indy is also going with asylum seekers being “banned” from doing something they were being forced to do unwillingly in the first place, so presumably this is how the Home Office‘s press release is framing its own admissions of incompetence and waste

The Home Office’s absurd taxi bill results entirely from its insistence on forcing people to move round the country without choice or notice, & to live on the breadline so they can’t afford public transport. That Mahmood didn’t know about it till the BBC told her shows how appallingly the HO is run.

Dismal framing. Every aspect of most asylum seekers’ lives is controlled & paid for by the Home Office. They can’t work, are told where to live & have no autonomy or dignity. So they aren’t *choosing* to use taxis & don’t need to be “banned” from doing so. The HO just needs to get its act in order.
Government to ban asylum seekers from using taxis
The ban is set to come in February and any exemptions will have to be signed off by the Home Office.

I think if Canada wants to have a strong cultural identity we need to go back to doing what we're best at, making the weirdest fucking TV shows you've ever seen

I liked HAMNET (sue me). It's less about grief, though grief is the impetus, and more about the importance of art. The identity of the artist is second almost which is a very smart choice for handling the elephant in the room
HAMNET 📽️ makes plain the endlessness of Paul Mescal's talent but this is Jessie Buckley's movie as a woman who comes to understand how essential art is in building connections with others, especially after loss movieswetextedabout.com/hamnet-film-...

An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

We need to understand the 21st century as a window of atrocity. The right vastly expands what is permissible, and the centrists lock it in and legitimise it so that the right can expand the window ever further. I don’t see how any reasonable person can deny this is what has happened.

This is nauseating. As reported, about as clear cut a war crime as it's possible to imagine.
The commander overseeing the operation, Adm. Frank M. “Mitch” Bradley, told people on the conference call that the survivors were still legitimate targets because they could theoretically call other traffickers to retrieve them and their cargo. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

I have heard of professional critics doing this, which is (to say the least) upsetting. Sneak out of homework all you want, but if you're getting paid to think about it you have a responsibility to engage with something properly
Just as horrifying: I polled my students a couple years ago and almost all of them admitted to watching the movies I assigned them at 2x the speed!
Oh my god. She's 1000% right. This makes so much sense.
