I read three moden languages in Latin script and one ancient language that is decidedly not alphabetic and frankly Goodman's idea that reading is 'not precise' is such a terrible load of bollocks I don't know where to start. There's a special circle of hell reserved for academics like him!
ever since I learned about three-cueing I've developed infinitely more patience for replies on social media. mfers literally do not know how to read. people are walking around conjuring random meanings into words they don't know, and they don't know a lot of words. it's crazy

Yes actually because if it goes up the windows in my house will probably all break.
yes yes we all know about the Edmund Fitzgerald, rest her soul, but did you know about the ship laden with explosives that sank in the mouth of the Thames in 1944 and could explode at any minute and which attempts to disarm keep failing

No the BBC is in crisis because it couldn't be bothered with a proper analysis of a presidential speech and instead resorted to ham-fisted editing, at best incompetent and at worst unethical, thereby allowing its opponents unprecedented opportunities to destroy it.
The BBC is in crisis in the same way that GB News would be if you put Owen Jones on the board armed with a veto and plenty of coffee.

Of course all of this. The presence of the European flag in the quoted post is somehow doubly hilarious.
I know it’s too much to expect them to know their history, but if the American Revolution had a motto, it definitely would not have been “immigrants go home.”
It would have been “get your fucking soldiers out of our cities.”

💯 the simping for a war criminal and murderer was almost as gross though.
I’m delighted to see that Richard Taylor has won his defamation case against the producers of this film. It was awful to see archaeological colleagues misrepresented, cast as villains to fit a lazy narrative. But remarkably, the producers “remain proud of the film”!

Anyone who's been north of thw Whatford Gap, east of the M11 or West of the M6 know that England (never mind Britain) has never been a culturally coherent group of people.
What the hell does a “mostly but not entirely culturally coherent group of people” even fucking mean????
Sunday Times interview Tory "rising star" Katie Lam
She is clear she wants lots of legal migrants to be told to "go home" so as "to leave a mostly but not entirely culturally coherent group of people"
(The interviewer suggests she is scrapping ILR or stripping people of it)

Ive seen LLMs pushed a lot to fellow #adhd students and scholarship to "help" them with things like detail work and structuring work. Ive also seen many punished for trusting this offer of help too. Here's what to use instead:

Public architecture should be designed by people who have lived with disability and homelessness, and the people responsible for this should be retrained by that experience
