A colleague who has applied for a small grant to fund a maths/art project has been asked to explain how the project will ensure that the general public don't draw incorrect conclusions from the art.
Honestly not sure where to start with this one.

Bad faith attacks on the BBC reaching new levels here. A fascinating couple of threads here
This is the first History Reclaimed attack on @davidolusoga.bsky.social’s BBC Empire series, in The Spectator. The thread on its recycled Telegraph version shows how criticisms of the representation of Mike Mountain Horse and the invasion of Ijebu are based on untruths. But else do they argue?

This bit is especially stupid, but highlights something I think is pretty unique to history. Is there another academic subject to which such emotional attachment is applied? Not just superceding facts, but the whole idea it's about judging good & evil in the past.

1. They didn’t bother to watch it all because they knew how they were going to attack it regardless. Maybe no one will pick up in the fact that it doesn’t actually end with WWI but extends into the 1950s.

💥 A section of Russia’s Druzhba oil pipeline has exploded again, sources in Ukraine’s military intelligence say, per Hromadske.
The blast was caused by a remotely detonated explosive device enhanced with incendiary compounds to intensify the fire.

No surprise there. Yet Putin can't win, militarily. He needs Trump and the leaders of Europe to be incredibly stupid to avoid falling out a window
⚡ Putin rejected key US peace proposals in late-night Kremlin talks, which ended without progress despite Moscow’s claims.
“So far no compromise option has been found,” said Putin aide Ushakov.

Set a maximum impact per square centimetre for cars. The bigger your car frontage the slower it can go.
Set a minimum distance for the driver to be able to spot a child in front of them.
And deport anyone who owns a Range or Land Rover in an urban area to the Falklands.

This story about discrimination against university students is illustrated by a door I often used to get to lectures. I must admit, as joiner's son I did sometimes find aspects of university life a bit pretentious. But I really enjoyed my four years at @glasgow.ac.uk. How will unis respond to this?
