Wiley told Trump to make his speech, I presume to deflect from her interviews with Vanity Fair, but what a remarkable speech, citing a 600% drop in pharma prices - which critics had told him would be impossible - for good reasons. :-) edition.cnn.com/2025/12/17/p...

Europeans are very seriously concerned about the risks of trying to use the far-right for your own political aims. He has a sense of humour but the tank has a clear message.

I agree with those observing that Trump’s Liberation Day mainly punishes the poor nations and poor within nations. He is the kind of capitalist who gives capitalism a bad reputation. #resist
I completely agree with @johnthornhill.bsky.social conclusion that “progressives drastically need to up their game.” Thanks @oii.ox.ac.uk for posting.

Wonderful opinion piece in the Guardian today 22 Feb 2025 by Jonathan Freedland, entitled 'Trump is the great showman and the weakest strongman'. I'm not sure about the showman, but agree that Trump is "the weakest strongman the world has ever seen."
Hear from @oii.ox.ac.uk Director Vicki Nash sharing her views about what she believes is "too good to be true" about life online in our final video for #SaferInternetDay. She discusses the unintended consequences of banning social media and why a more nuanced approach is needed.
New commentary! "What we need to understand is exactly which kind of contents are more likely to make it difficult for young people to put their phone down and to control their behaviour." @karenlauram.bsky.social @mentalhealthoii.bsky.social @oii.ox.ac.uk told @bbcnews.bsky.social. bit.ly/3WQmGG3
On top of the fires and floods, American politics seems to be at its worse. Unbelievably bad. The most recent article in Foreign Affairs is: The Path to American Authoritarianism: What Comes After Democratic Breakdown by Steven Levitsky and Lucan A. Way, February 11, 2025.
Likewise, Nesrine. There are few greater rewards for a retired professor to see former students being successful in their careers. Wonderful hearing about your work and life.
Lololol
