"While other universities report that the humanities are shrinking, at Berkeley, the opposite is true. The music major is the fastest-growing major on campus. We are finding bigger classrooms because film is exploding. English is back to the numbers we saw 15 years ago. We are hiring" bit.ly/4ohKuOe

In Odesa, Oleksii lets stray dogs take shelter inside an electronics shop during Russian attacks, air-raid alerts, bad weather - &simply so they can sleep in warmth&safety.

Oleksii has been caring for the animals for about two years. He calls the dogs his "little dragons."

Dear Bluesky,
www.thenerve.news is still tiny. We launched it with no dirty money (no money at all, lol!). But we're proving what's possible with a small expert team & no billionaire owners.

We knew the UK press wouldn't understand or properly cover this story, so we did. Thank you for the support!
This is the Observer's coverage of the Reform Russian Spie Scandal... 600 words on page 22 of the printed newspaper.

There is no accurate reporting, anywhere in the world, on how many people are dying due to climate breakdown.
Researching this week's column, I stumbled across something that amazed me:
the near-absence of reliable data about climate impacts over most of the
world. Due to the rich world's failure to fund research. We don't know
because our governments don't care. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Climate sceptics tell us that more people die of extreme cold than extreme heat. What’s the truth? asks Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Among other topics, we discuss the sale of children in care.
They're worth roughly £100k each. The profit you can extract by sending them across the country to the cheapest housing in derelict places, cutting them off from all hope and contact, is off the scale. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xx6...
