Finally, someone who actually matters (hopefully) has said it.

Thank you BBC Radio 4 Today for reporting on this case today. The #NHS is a failed institution and flushing taxpayer money down the toilet to fund its current structure for nationalistic ideological reasons will take the whole economy down with it ft.com/content/f94a71…

I urged the Germans to re-arm in a lecture at the Bundestag last July, which was published by the Free Press in September. Well, finally it's happening. And I think Friedrich Merz will surprise the cynics by delivering a real "Zeitenwende."

Why is BBC World Service so amazed that Hidvéghi Balázs finds nothing unusual in having to give up territory to an occupying power as part of negotiations to end a bloody war? Isn't that what Britain ultimately forced onto #Hungary in 1920?

Oops, I almost missed this story when the BBC reported on it earlier this month. Let's see how this case develops. Sounds like a must item on any slavery curriculum. freebeacon.com/latest-news/un…

"technology was developed originally by Siemens in Germany and stolen in and from China". This just makes it doubly sweet. Could only get better if it were built by 100,000 German forces labourers. China could just apologise for it 50 years from now and all would be fine.

More than that. The EU must develop a stronger army than the UK and USA combined, which is an incredible challenge telegraph.co.uk/world-news/202…

Wonderful!

😂

Oy, police! Next time d'you mind not wasting precious time "collecting evidence" at the crime scene and instead hit the archives to trace the bloke's ancestry back to 1066 and tell us if he's a bloody Frenchman?

Some very interesting questions and findings here

🚨 New pre-print! 🚨  “Why Academics Are Leaving Twitter for Bluesky”, joint with  Frederic Denker Prashant Garg Alexandre Bovet We track 300k scholars and find that 18 % have already switched. In this 🧵 who moved why, how contagion works, and what sustains engagement.

Sociology is the search for the rules which are invariantly true, at all times, in everything we wish we had observed.

Was just reading this passage from The Lady Tasting Tea and it reads eerily contemporary #HistoryOfStatistics #DOGE #BigBeautifulBill #TrumpMusk
