Good stuff. Also do watch the video embedded in the text. It's excellent.

Oh this is so delicious. @davidwcochrane.bsky.social for the win! One of the best interviews I've seen on TV in a long time.

As cute as this was, I can't say I am surprised. This was opening a whole other can of worms that EU is not prepared to open, but probably should...

The election results in Serbia are good news for the security and stability of the entire Western Balkans, as Vucic was the chief architect of virtually all major disputes in the region. That said, the Student List is a heterodox coalition. We should not expect...

The election results in Serbia are encouraging. I have been critical of the student movement before, but, for now, this is a monumental shift in Western Balkan politics. I suspect there are some very unhappy Russian and American officials. Breaks my heart ;) www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

America's major allies rebuke Trump and Rubio for riding to the defense of Putin and Netanyahu with vile attacks on the ICC. No one is fooled by what they are doing.

In almost every meeting I attend, when somebody asks a question, someone will say: "Let's see what ChatGPT has to say?" People's absolute delight at outsourcing their thinking to a lousy algorithm is sad and infuriating at the same time.

Here is a long story #themonochromecollective did on my 70/70 project. This is the kind of kick in the pants I needed to keep going with it: themonochromecollective.co/blog/364/

A new ECFR study by @kadriliik.bsky.social and @jkobzova.bsky.social offers a rare glimpse into how Russians see their country and the war, whom they consider friends and enemies, and how they perceive Europe, the United States or China. ecfr.eu/publication/...

What Canada could gain from joining the EU’s Erasmus+ program, and what’s unresolved

Trump: "The United States is working on a massive Deal with respect to the purchase of Potash from Belarus. The pricing would be for substantially less than we are currently paying to Canada, very good news for our Farmers and Ranchers. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"

Excellent! We once run a giant timer on the screen for questions. 30 seconds to ask your question. It worked like a charm. Also, if this is an in person event and people have lapel mics, make sure they are turned off if they decide to pop into the washroom before the session. Hard lesson, that one.

This! Even at the graduate level, it's still this.

Dunville, Placentia Bay, Newfoundland Alan C. Collier 1969

This is amazing even if you are not an American... I learned English in Calgary, but spent next eight years in New Brunswick and then 18 in Newfoundland so apparently I sound closest to somebody from Portland, ME, Boston, which makes sense.

The @memorialu.bsky.social admin never wanted a solution. They just want to sell it because that is all they are capable of imagining: Harlow operating within budget before Memorial decided to sell it: former head of U.K. campus theindependent.ca/news/harlow-...
