Whoah, just saw on NBC: "Current international students at Harvard will need to transfer or lose their legal status." Jeez, this is crazy. The administration appears run by shortsighted idiots who couldn't even write their own names with a packet of crayons.

Trump administration ends Harvard's ability to enrol international students www.bbc.com/news/article... – he honestly is a despot. And a stupid one at that. Decisions like this can only harm America. She will be characterised as a closed nation, uninterested in the world. Isolationism anyone?

The Chancellor has bowed to mounting pressure from banks and building societies www.telegraph.co.uk/business/202... – they say ISAs are draining investment from the Stock Exchange. I say why should people be forced to buy stocks and shares if they don't want to? Dictating how to save? Anathema!

Why was Apokatastasis condemned as a heresy by the Synod of Constantinople of 543? Small words please. βœοΈβš“

Yeah right, Elmo. Pull the other one...

Too many people at the top of the BBC think that they should be competing with the private sector not providing an important thing that the market can't. Should focus on providing detailed coverage of 'what's in it?' that someone with the reading age of a seven year old can parse.

Calvin Robinson Twitter account says that this is made-up gossip...and a 'misunderstanding'. Because, if it were true, it would be laughable. How many is it now? Clerus vagans, anyone?

Fine. More semicolons for the rest of us.

4,000 End of Module Assignment submitted. Over a week early. Why do I feel glum?

dear Spotify, you have too many ads. It is severely disruptive when I am trying to pull an essay out of the bag.

I have an old first-generation Amazon Fire TV that I sometimes use for Netflix. Today, only two weeks away I get notice saying Netflix will be discontinued from the beginning of June. Thanks for the advance warning, @netflix.com! </sarcasm>

Plantar fasciitis. Wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.
