I’m waiting for the smooth brained 🧠 Chancellors of #Universities to take pay cuts for their lack of #contingency planning when the fully endorsed, “single point of failure #examination, #marking and #grades” disrupts the academic year resulting in disruption of #academic #SLA

Does anyone remember paper examinations?

Xamanismo Coletivo Apr 8

"“A whole #civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.”
These are the utterances of a man casting about for an act of sufficient magnitude to substitute for the coherent strategy he never bothered to contemplate. The trajectory they trace — from rhetorical escalation to intensified bombardment to potentially something indiscriminate or far worse — deserves a degree of serious #examination that major #media outlets are just beginning to realize. Understanding that trajectory requires grasping, above all, the particular #trap into which American power has #sleepwalked.
…
A leader who entered a #war he did not understand, in pursuit of objectives he had not reconciled, and who now confronts a situation in which every available #exit diminishes the political #narrative he has staked his #identity on, is a genuinely #dangerous figure to place at the apex of #nuclear decision-making."
