Can I pick academic colleagues’ brains? I just met a hugely impressive ex-student who had a really good PhD proposal on maternal ambivalence in contemporary fiction. She’s looking for that magical sweet spot of a) supervisory expertise and b) funding. Any UK-based suggestions/volunteers?

Think of all the mediocre white men with their plagiarism/stealing student work/sexual harassment who kept their jobs or quietly retired but are alive. Jason Arday’s situation did NOT have to play out or end this way, no matter his errors. And the media and everyone with a hot take is responsible.

Brilliant letter from Stuart Thompson to Jeremy Clarkson about his comments that benefit claimants should write weekly thank you letters to tax payers detailing how they spend their benefits each week.

This is why we need to save pubs. They can be awesome for bringing communities together, or at least getting people offline and meeting others.

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

First World War gallery is epic though, and the Holocaust gallery, if properly appreciated, is also stunning

There are a few things that came out just a couple of years ago around the M4 on the 1st floor - Normandy stuff really, some elements of planning, that I think it misses. I do think we’re light on Battle of Britain and Normandy to Germany there if I’m honest.

The absolutely disgusting rot at the heart of British media summed up in a single headline. A wretched clique of pathetic, racist, servile dogs.

Two Israeli soldiers killed as latest attacks in
Lebanon leave nearly 400 dead
Israel has been carrying out a military operation in southern Lebanon for more than a week, with three airstrikes hitting Sir El Gharbiyeh village on Sunday.

It'd basically be impossible to live through this and not become a hardcore fundamentalist, right? Like, what are you going to do, say blocking the damn sun with smoke and flame which taint the air you breathe and water you drink is a very non-Great Satan like activity for somebody to do?

Reform win a seat: The true Volk have spoken and we all must listen. Greens win a seat: Early reports that Muslims may have ‘voted’ (an ancient Islamic practice designed to steal elections). How severely should the franchise be limited in response?

It might be an indicator that he has such abysmal judgement that there could be other problems however
