WWE is not taken seriously enough as performance art by academics and that's 100% a class issue.
Tangentially a political issue.

This is actually the single most insane statistic I’ve ever read.
That's an absolutely insane statistic: in 2024 alone a single Chinese firm, the China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC), built more more commercial ships by tonnage than the entire U.S. shipbuilding industry has built since the end of World War II.

🚨This is the story of how UK & EU goods are STILL going into Russia in vast quantities, despite sanctions.

Another Monday, but this one is different. Today would have been #DaphneCaruanaGalizia's 60th birthday. Her assassination on 16 October 2017 is why The Daphne Caruana Galizia Foundation exists. Ensuring justice and change is why we do what we do.

🚨 A stark example highlighting the hugely unequal terms of the battle against economic crime.
On the day @UKSFO announced charges against a billionaire oil trader, the agency began recruitment for the junior but key role of case progression officer… on £27k a year in London. A stark reminder of the inequality of arms between law enforcement and deep-pocketed defendants.
