It's Friday night. Someone appears to have inserted what seem to be notes for a speech into my unexpurgated copy of the Treaty of Lisbon (which I've borrowed from @stevepeers). It's quite something... 1/

https://twitter.com/Sime0nStylites/status/1230960033929793541

There's a section titled 'you need us more than we need you', with all manner of stats on the relative size of the EU and UK markets... 2/

Then there's a bit on migration from the UK; proposals for the imposition of stringent language requirements, and a test on institutional structure of the EU... 3/

What appears to be a 'jokey' section about the shortcomings of the UK Govt. 'I'm old enough to remember when David Davis was the one who was as thick as mince'. 4/

I'm upset already... and I haven't even got to the bits on eugenics, penalty shoot-outs, and the UK press... 5/5

#SayyedHassanNasrallah: On last Friday night, leader Soleimani achieved his goal of martyrdom that he dreamt of since he joined the forces in Iran. This was always his personal goal.

कभी नेनुआ टाटी पे चढ़ के रसोई के दो महीने का इंतज़ाम कर देता था, कभी खपरैल की छत पे चढ़ी लौकी महीना भर निकाल देती थी.. कभी बैसाख में दाल और भतुआ से बनाई सूखी कँहड़ोड़ी सावन भादो की सब्जी का खर्चा निकाल देती थी.. वो दिन थे जब सब्जी पे खर्चा पता तक नहीं चलता था..

देशी टमाटर और मूली जाड़े के सीजन में भौकाल के साथ आते थे लेकिन खिचड़ी आते आते उनकी इज्जत घर जमाई जैसी हो जाती थी.. तब जीडीपी का अंकगणितीय करिश्मा नहीं था, सब्जियाँ सर्वसुलभ और हर रसोई का हिस्सा थीं..

लोहे की कढ़ाई में किसी के घर रसेदार सब्जी चूरे, तो गाँव के डीह बाबा तक गमक जाती थी.. संझा को रेडियो पे चौपाल और आकाशवाणी के सुलझे हुए समाचारों से दिन रुखसत लेता था.. रातें बड़ी होती थीं.. दुआर पे कोई पुरनिया आल्हा छेड़ देता था तो मानों कोई सिनेमा चल गया हो..

Someone please tell me how books published by Lexington (part of @RLPGBooks) count towards tenure.

I just finished an atrocious (polite description) book by a tenured professor on "Sexual Jihad." As if that's not bad enough, the book repeatedly refers to "Christian Yazidis."

@RLPGBooks

@RLPGBooks Yazidis are not Christian by definition, guys. Yazidis are an ENTIRELY different religion - ethnic Kurds who speak Kurdish. Apostasy renders one outside the fold.

Does @RLPGBooks use peer review? It's appalling that this book was ever published, let alone counted for tenure.

@RLPGBooks

@RLPGBooks In a meeting, so I can't savage the book in-depth right now, but let's put it this way -- the central thesis is that "women's roles in the Qur'an and Hadith" explain "women's roles in terrorism."

By a political scientist - zero expertise in MENA, Islam, or Arabic... of course.
