I finished @jonawils.bsky.social’s ‘The Power and the Glory: A New History of the World Cup’ the other day. It does seem like Infantino has read the closing paragraphs and thought “well, challenge accepted”.

Enjoy it while you can because this (gestures vaguely around) will die down after the weekend when all the academics have their annual “aagh, it’s August, and I have none of my summer writing done - I need to get off the INTERNET!” freakout.
Cethan LeahyHah, people are now having arguments about the very notion of criticism. This is excellent stuff.

We should be livid. The article says students are asked to do everything with originals via post (no email when there's no functioning post service?!) and failed for "insufficient evidence of strong obligations to return to your home country". What would that case look like in Gaza right now?!
RTÉ NewsSources within the universities say the refusal rate this year is in marked contrast to last year, when more than 80 Gazan students left Gaza in an evacuation organised by the Irish Government.
I used to have a slide in one of my lectures about the authoritarian/authoritative/permissive/uninvolved parenting style classification and I had to take it out because I just couldn’t manage the dissonance with actually being a parent. Now if there was an “ineffectual bleating” category…
Zach WeinersmithHey parents of bsky: What are some theories of parenting you were very confident in right up until you had your own kids?
- Hey, English social media, how are you going to mark a high-profile team ending a long wait for success? - We are going to have some epic bantz about branded water bottles. Why, what are you going to do, Irish social media? - We are going to swap some intense stories about curses and funerals.

Darach Ó SéaghdhaI used to work with a man from Mayo called Ken. Nice chap. He didn't appreciate any talk about The Curse, however. One day, in all earnest, he leans over to me and says that the Foxford parish archive doesn't even have a record of a funeral that day. "Maybe it was a ghost funeral?" says I.
