Chores. I'm tackling two of the UK govt consultations this weekend.
Good news. The older drivers consultation questions are quite concise.
(I argued for better use of NHS eyetests; and more focus on drivers aged 80 plus. The standard NHS eyetest for drivers 80+ should include field of vision.)
Bad news. The consultation on immigration looks horrible.

Anti #racism rally in Dumfries. Not very many of us here, disappointingly, but we were here.

Wish you had been too.

社説:国立大学法人化20年 反省踏まえ研究力強化を - 毎日新聞

 日本における知の拠点の衰退ぶりは目を覆うばかりである。国立大が法人化されて4月で20年となったが、反省すべき点は多い。  公務員数などを減らす行財政改革の一環として実施されたものだ。学長を中心にした柔軟な組織運営や企業との連携強化が容易になった。財界人らの入った協議会が設置され、外部の目で経営努力

People who believe they can have both IVF and bans on abortion believe in choice, but only for rich people.

People like David will try to stop you from speaking out against Israel’s ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people.

They’ll try to get others to shun you for showing basic humanity. For speaking out against a state that has killed tens of thousands of civilians, the majority women and children. A state whose ministers openly call for yet more ethnic cleansing and genocide.

Show them it won’t work.

Don’t be silent.

Attached: 1 image @[email protected] Aral Balkan-a programmer who isn’t Jewish, hasn’t been to #israel or #gaza, and doesn’t understand the definition of genocide-has just destroyed his reputation by calling #israel - and not #iran or #hamas - a #terrorist and genocidal state. It’s a bad look. For those of who stoop to his level and engage in this rubbish, remember: you can hate #biden as much as you like, but if you help Trump get elected, whatever hope you have for a #palestinian state dies.
