Nice meme, but Christianity got rid of slavery in Europe under the Catholic Church, and British evangelicals were later a driving force in tackling slavery world wide.

This is true, i think it also understates the catastrophic effects because it's impossible to overstate them.

There is probably an argument for reducing the number of HEIs in the tail, focusing funding on excellence and research, and creating technical colleges for areas of skills shortages.

As said by Stephen Kotkin: ‘There isn’t a mirror on the planet big enough for the Democrats and the left to look into, to see all the ways that they elected Trump.’ The responses to this Atlantic piece probably sum up why Bluesky is a problem for the Democrats.

Universities are targeted because it is easy. Politicians refuse to tackle the hard issues in immigration people are actually concerned about, because it is hard.

The most wholesome TV show is Race Across the World. People from entirely different backgrounds getting on with people they meet while travelling & bonding with their travelling partner - with the other teams. And all the bullshit identity politics seen on social media melting away. Just people.

Lest any Europeans point at the US and say ‘look at those poor benighted anti-scientific Americans’, the US has had 800 cases so far this year, and 285 in 2024. Europe had 127,350 measles cases in 2024. www.wired.com/story/scient...

Agree with sentiment, but suspect the answer is because the UK is a poor country in managed decline, below all the US states and Western Europe. And housing is expensive and small.

I feel that Martin Luther would have something to say about this.

Looking forward to Margot Robbie trying to explain this from a bubble bath.
