Always fascinated with the “what is university for” question.

Let’s talk about sexual dimorphism in humans.

a nice thing about writing with less jargon is that if what I'm saying doesn't make sense, it's easy for readers to call me on it
if you use a lot of impenetrable jargon, people will often think the problem is with *them* instead of with your writing

I know what they're trying to do, and it's a disgrace. You can't push racism in society to win an election and then claim it was a good thing if you did manage to win via this strategy.

Utterly horrifying. 27 people have died attempting to cross the Channel. Horrifying and grimly predictable.
Until the UK provides safe travel to our territory for people seeking asylum, our shores will become as much of a graveyard as the Mediterranean. bfmtv.com/grand-littoral/mig…
