Only the goodies can have nuclear stuff. Luckily, we know who the goodies and the baddies are. How? Well - it's the ones we like, really. Skin colour sometimes helps. So name the goodies, then, and your authority for announcing your verdict. Well.. um.. give me time.. um.. it's..

Like many others, I don't like pronunciation changes when I'm used to a particular version. Yet shifts happen, and to refer to previous versions as 'correct', as if deviations from them are almost immoral is just bizarre Almost bullying! Language will always change. Get over it.

It's quite difficult these days to oppose or to support "Direct Instruction". For any attempts to do so resemble trying to carve a jelly fish so that we are left with a permanent model of Beethoven. The teaching model concerned is a shape shifter in the hands of its proponents.

X must never have nuclear weapons. Who says? We do. We're goodies. X are baddies. But we're not the goodies. Yes we are. We say so. OK-we've interfered with X's government sometimes - why? Oil, I guess. But goodies should have oil. Anyhow, we're goodies because we have big bombs.

What an appalling use of language.. 'the nuclear game'. What kind of thinking about nuclear conflict could result in words of this kind?

Not against 20 mph limits but terrible that they're rarely enforced. This is dangerous. Many drivers *are* complying with the limits. Hence walkers can be lulled into thinking that all will. Then the 'sinning' drivers suddenly surprise pedestrians, who may end up in hospital.

Very disappointing. Perpetuates harmful misinformation. I recommend my open-access series at EJ for an accurate understanding of SOR as misguided ed reform radicalscholarship.com/2024/04/22/eng…

The expression 'straight white males' doesn't identify an homogeneous group. I have something in common with *some* of them, and not with others. There is no 'them' in any sense. Someone or other is busy 'constructing' a mythological group in order to create division and hatred.

Gospel message of prioritising the poor means *both* individuals supporting relevant charities *and* supporting government policies promoting the common good. We should *vote* for the latter - it's not a question of being 'forced' to support the needy.

Does the AI name 'grok' come from the sci fi writer Heinlein's Martian verb “grok", which is all about knowing and understanding? Perhaps everyone knew this except me?

Why are some so angry about the research informed claim that it's on average getting hotter? Why so furious at the thought that the 1976 summer, though amazing, is now overtaken by events? Do people just want reality to conform to their desires, and can't bear that it won't?

Just scaremongering, as usual. All those silly reds and oranges! Obviously the temperatures are being measured near airport runways, and the sea is subject to urban heat island effects. The Mediterranean was much hotter ...um... next year..

Spotted the phrase 'ethnic brotherhood'. Racism alert! There's no such thing as 'ethnic brotherhood'. To claim otherwise is saying that there are personal features shared by a particular ethnicity. That's racist. There are no such commonalities.
