Porto is also great, which means you can have a doubly great long weekend. Porto is definitely on the visit list. |

Jesus Beeb - this is old “news” (and I don’t think some randoms on Twitter is “news” but there you go). |

I think the interns stack up a reserve of marginal, harmless, yoot fluff for the weekend, when the grown-ups are off

It's big news for the BBC. Identity politics, cultural Marxism, wokeness etc. They love it.

It's funny to hear the approbation from people who have fetishised the use of the word nigger.
Potty.

She seems to have a good voice for the style of music, although that might be down to autocue, whatever those are.

Oh I just saw it’s not BBC main news - it’s on the BBC Africa page so a geographically localised non story Baloo went hunting for.

This isn't surprising. "The embattled president of Harvard University has been accused of plagiarism in her own PhD dissertation amid calls for her resignation over anti-Semitism on campus. Claudine Gay, the university’s first black president, was accused on Sunday of lifting sentences from other academics for her 1997 doctoral thesis on the success of black politicians. A conservative blogger posted sections of her dissertation that contained almost the exact phrases of academics she had cited in her work, in an apparent breach of Harvard’s anti-plagiarism policy. ‘Verbatim language’ Ms Gay was accused by Christopher Rufo of reusing “verbatim language, with a few trivial synonym substitutions, without providing quotation marks”, despite naming the academics whose works she had cited. Harvard’s policy states that “it’s not enough to change a few words here and there and leave the rest; instead, you must completely restate the ideas in the passage in your own words”. Passages of the thesis posted online showed phrases had been lifted. In one sentence, Ms Gay remarked that “using 1987 survey data, Bobo and Gilliam found that African-Americans in ‘high black-empowerment’ areas… are more active than either African-Americans in low-empowerment areas or their white counterparts of comparable socioeconomic status”. The original paper by the academics contained the same sentence, using “blacks” instead of “African-Americans”." www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2023/12/11/harvard-president-accused-plagiarism-amid-anti-semitism-row/?li_source=LI&li_medium=for_you |

I see diversity hires are still a bad idea. "Harvard University on Tuesday received a complaint outlining over 40 allegations of plagiarism against its embattled president, Claudine Gay. The document paints a picture of a pattern of misconduct more extensive than has been previously reported and puts the Harvard Corporation, the university's governing body—which said it initiated an "independent review" of Gay's scholarship and issued a statement of support for her leadership—back in the spotlight. The new allegations, which were submitted to Harvard's research integrity officer, Stacey Springs, include the examples reported by the Washington Free Beacon and other outlets, as well as dozens of additional cases in which Gay quoted or paraphrased authors without proper attribution, according to a copy of the complaint reviewed by the Free Beacon. They range from missing quotation marks around a few phrases or sentences to entire paragraphs lifted verbatim." freebeacon.com/campus/fresh-allegations-of-plagiarism-unearthed-in-official-academic-complaint-against-claudine-gay/ |
