I generally consider it impolite to post about other countries' politics but... if Mr Hegseth had been in charge of the Armies of Rohan, they would never have defeated the Witch King.

2yrs after I finished my MA History at Goldsmiths, my research rights were bought and I was hired to work as historical consultant on this TV show. It's had BAFTA and International Emmy nominations. I got a book deal, too. Goldsmiths: "No point in MA History, let's fire everyone and delete it."

I remain astounded at the failure of universities, as supposed centres for critical enquiry, to challenge the ideological capture of AI. The only AI policy that is ethical, fair and defensible for students is an outright ban on its use.

This is a canary resuscitator, which miners would use to revive canaries that had passed out from toxic gas, because ideally not only do you care, you don't even leave the bird behind. just a little mining history and not at all a furious scream

A herring gull presenting an annoying TV documentary about the British seaside in which it discusses lots of boringly obvious things about being a seagull and says "JOIN ME ON MY SEAGULL JOURNEY" a lot.

A seagull presenting its own TV documentary, on the British coast.
After this, a drone shot followed, illustrating the awesome power of the landscape, then a quick-cut montage of images of the seagull stealing chips and trying to fly off with an old toaster, in a desperate attempt not to lose the viewer's attention.

I took out British citizenship in part because, at the time, it gave me visa-free access to dozens of countries, where Canadian citizenship gave me access to only one. Be ironic if my Canadian citizenship winds up giving me visa-free access to all the EU countries.

The US President's new proposal to tax international students has been approved by the White House for release this week. It's an unprecedented $100,000 tax on int'l grads who stay to work after graduation on Optional Practical Training (most grads do), a crucial bridge to remaining by any channel.
