Two headlines about the same story reveal how the BBC relentlessly launders Farage's reputation, even as the corporate media steps up. In-your-face malfeasance by the national broadcaster.

The last Russian to leave Crimea won't have to turn out the lights.

Saw this ad for a goat on Facebook. It’s perhaps the greatest advert I’ve ever read. It’s just superb.

Any tips on dealing with the absolutely useless humans and chatbots at Thames Water?

I know the singer is out of tune, but not THAT out of tune! (She starts at 10 seconds.)

I have a new paper on the Gallagher index: the most common measure of electoral disproportionality. We often assume it runs from 0 (perfect 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺) to 1 (perfect 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺). But I show that in most party systems, 1 is not a possible value. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

Jared Kushner wants Albania's protected wetlands. The government obliged. Protesters said no. 29 days later, they're still saying no — with flamingo cutouts and flags, in the streets, every single night. Europe is watching. Is anyone else?

Iran was treated abysmally in this World Cup. I wonder how the U.S. will feel when a future host does this to one of our teams. Because that will happen. That’s the precedent that was set.

I am heartbroken by University of Exeter’s decision to endanger the majority of staff in philosophy and qualitative social science, including #Egenis @exeterspspa.bsky.social No warning, no consultations, just an email dropped into inboxes announcing redundancy. c.org/zKbPJFDwBq #philsci #sts #hps

‼️The CEU is set to become a two-campus university again, HUN media reports. While Vienna will remain its main campus, degree-granting programs are expected to return to Budapest once the necessary approvals are completed. A step toward restoring the university's academic presence in Hungary! 2/1

Germany has successfully engineered a revolutionary transparent solar glass that generates clean electricity while remaining completely see-through from both sides, fundamentally transforming how buildings produce energy. #solarpower #ActOnClimate

Social media channels are flooded with examples of long lines anywhere in Russia. This is Chita, Zabaykalsky region, which is more than 5,000 km (3,200 miles) from the Ukrainian border. It looks like a collapse in fuel distribution. Especially trucks are paralyzed.

John Roberts' Constitution forbids any attempt to proactively ameliorate racial discrimination and racial inequality, but permits open racial discrimination as long as there is a facially neutral explanation available, even if it isn't remotely plausible. This, my friends, is "Colorblindness."

I saw this referred to as the Strait of Warm Ooze. Very good.

But don't you dare criticize them. That's antisemitic.

Someone has been projecting images all over D.C. “It’s swampier than ever.” The Kennedy Center one is pretty hilarious. 😂😂😂

So many cyclist deaths begin with a stationary driver blocking the bike lane. The disconnect between cyclists, who see this as a life-threatening reckless action, and drivers, who see this is a minor parking infraction, is what often leads to discord.

A Russian air defense missile blows up a fuel tank at the Moscow Oil Refinery following a failed attempt to shoot down a Ukrainian drone.

Wow.. nerves of steel

This thread reminds me of my favourite Onion article: "New, Delicious Species Discovered". theonion.com/new-deliciou...

These sick bastards are the ideological heirs of the Nazis and they know it. They go to D-Day events and implicitly position themselves *with the defending force*. Cannot wait to see them all driven from power.

And half this number again were French civilians killed by the allied bombardment.

Staggering levels of corruption. They’re using every possible lever of power to enrich themselves and their friends and families. And the “party of fiscal responsibility” simply doesn’t care.

This is a fascist attack on higher education, an attempt to cut the financial legs out from under one of the America's truly world-leading industries out of a blinding hatred for its project and those who believe in it.

If you’re in London, come say hi and join the conversation about ”The Economic Approach to the Common Good”: www.kcl.ac.uk/events/the-e... This evening at 6 pm. Free and open to the public.

Ha! Ukraine celebrates Russia’s annual St Petersburg International Economic Forum by showing delegates how Russia’s air defences “work”! Psychological and economic warfare.

Okay, so a lot of people are anxiously wanting me to see the photos of Russian vehicles in dazzle camouflage and desiring my opinion. And as usual I’m only too happy to disappoint. Caveat: I am not an expert. 🧵

Well, that was fun! We organised the second Graduate Conference on Political Theory last week and it was such a great day. Thank you to all panellists, the senior academics who helped by chairing panels, and to Dr Bernardo Zacka for a most creative and engaging keynote! @kingspoltheory.bsky.social

I spoke to a graduate recruiter last night. He said he places a much higher premium on someone’s degree achieved before 2022 than after (i.e. pre ChatGPT). This is something universities have done absolutely nothing to counter.

Oscar winner and San Francisco resident Marcia Lucas — the former wife of George Lucas who edited the original “Star Wars,” “American Graffiti” and “Taxi Driver” —  has died.

let's be clear, let's be very clear, let's be incredibly clear about something: Marcia Lucas is why you love Star Wars. She's why Star Wars worked. She's why it has heart. She's responsible for the in-media-res beginning, she's responsible for basically everything charming and unique about >
