Jesus. This article is so polite about such utter nonsense. The idea that you can do Global Humanities without moden languages should make this university and international laughing stock.

Trump is an entitled, out of touch, chaotic and fucking dangerous emperor-fool. I imagine this how the last years before the Fall of Rome must have felt.

Word of the Day is ‘bayard’ (16th century): one who has the supreme self-confidence of ignorance.

People are inexplicable and annoying. Cats are way easier to understand and they don't even speak English.

'The Abandoned Gardens', Simon Palmer, 2023

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.
