I am leaving this terrible platform!
I will not delete my account but I will uninstall X from all my devices & will never log back in.
If you want to still follow me somewhere else you know where to find me. The clue is in my name.
2016-2025, almost 10 years, that's a good run.
The Oxbridge boat race debate is becoming eerily similar to the whole NCAA "unprofessional" athletes debate. I'm all for Unis having athletes compete for them but lets not pretend that Olympic level athletes are "amateurs". Make it a professional boat race and pay the athletes!
As it stands, the whole "behind the scenes" arms race between Oxford and Cambridge recruiting professional athletes for an "amateur" competition is stupid. Not only is it disrespectful to the sport but also to the whole academic integrity of the Universities.

ALT A meme featuring a dialogue between two characters. The top panel shows a character with an American flag over their face saying, "You have turned the world against me." The bottom panel depicts another character with a collage of various country flags, responding, "You have done that yourself." Set against a fiery backdrop, the scene echoes a famous moment from "Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith," highlighting a political commentary about the United States feeling isolated from the international community.

If we don't study history, we are doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past.
Literally the opposite of what the president said is true. High tariffs CAUSED the Great Depression.
This is embarrassing.
4 years later, I am once again playing League of Legends Varsity, but this time on the other team (playing jungle), for Cambridge. Please come watch at 4 pm(ish) BST if you're interested.

If you want to be a new digital history communicator you're better off starting on YouTube. Yes, you were more likely to find an audience on TikTok/Insta in around 2020 but in 2025 there are actually more dead channels, i.e. people who didn't make it, on TikTok than on YouTube.

The GOP became the raise taxes party. What a timeline.

these are literally the same arguments european colonialism apologists use in regards to africa btw
If much of your voter base are people with poor education (usually because of the system's failure not due to their own volition), then it makes sense that you try to limit and worsen education.

Historian here:
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
― Theodore Roosevelt
