🚨 Ighalo on South Africa receiving two red cards against Mexico in the World Cup opener:

“I'm not surprised. The same aggression they use to protect jobs back home is the same aggression they've brought to the football pitch. The only problem is that I don't know what job they're protecting this time. If it's the three points...they've lost those too”

What’s that sound? It’s Zaghrouta - a high‑pitched, trilling cry of joy heard for generations from Morocco to Botswana. The tradition went viral after Sabrina Carpenter reacted to it at Coachella. #bbcafrica

Wilfrid Laurier University mourns the passing of Professor Margaret Walton-Roberts

I am heartbroken by the news that Margaret has passed. An enormous loss for human geography, for migration studies, and for academia in general. https://t.co/TOkNjyHsm2

Some prescient words from GWB on this "liberation day."

This is how a conservative speaks.

Wanna hear how Republicans talked about tariffs before Trump castrated all of them?

@elmondbandauko Actually, open peer review has been around for some time. Reviewers have access to article author(s) details, and likewise authors also get to know who reviewed their paper. See the following article on the pros and cons of open peer review https://t.co/I7LnAw2Oel

@SkillsGapTrain 6) So the point that I am making is that we should engage in a healthy debate about the levels of immigration into the country. Granted, immigration (as well as your daily commute to work) may have negative impacts on the env, but so do our daily activities too!

@SkillsGapTrain 5) Please don't get me started on your MacBook! The lithium battery on that McBook was most likely sourced from the DRC, a country embroiled in war. So the macBook is made from 'blood minerals' https://t.co/GBfdz0MXk3

@SkillsGapTrain 6) Lithium mining is also associated with a whole lot of environmental issues - see https://t.co/leJww8NN9B.
