❗️ "Shahed" flying so low. It is at such low altitudes that the enemy attacks Myrhorod.

Academics Need to Wake Up on AI Ten theses for folks who haven't noticed the ground shifting under their feet

Sorry, Bluesky, but I have to say it: AI can already do social science research better than most professors with PhDs. And, for the first time in my life, I really have no idea what happens in five years.

Things are changing already, we just need to wake up.

8 years later, after the second (full-scale) invasion, NZ immediately called it an "illegal invasion of Ukraine"

Funny, many think Russia's invasion of Ukraine happened in 2022.

In 2014, about a week after the invasion, NZ Foreign Affairs Minister Murray said, β€œWe call on all parties to exercise restraint and refrain from any action that could escalate tensions,”

The Olympics are in the grip of a bunch of pro-Russian freaks.

The International Olympic Committee disqualified a Ukrainian skeleton racer for remembering fallen athletes on his helmet.

The International Paralympic Committee barred Ukrainians from wearing jackets with a map.

Spare a thought for Russians who moved to Dubai to escape our war with Ukraine & are now stuck in the war between our allies, Iran & USA.

Over at Twitter, an assorted combo of paid russian stooges and probably unpaid useful idiots from academia are involved in another cycle of « imagine if Ru did XΒ Β» about a bunch of international law violations Russia has been committing for a decade. It’s pathetic.

Best moment of #AARES2026!

And one of the two best AARES after-dinner speeches I can remember (the other was in 2019 😊).

At this point, @aares-org.bsky.social should seriously consider appointing @dpannell66.bsky.social as after-dinner speaker-at-large!

Took this photo during my last trip to Zaporizhzhia. In my childhood, it was the place where everyone used to meet. Tonight, a Russian drone hit this mall.

On the anniversary of the full-scale invasion,the Russian colonial gaze on Ukraine was again allowed to impose itself in the form of M.

This is beautiful summary from Susan Glasser
"basically, I learned from that speech that we may, or we may not, go to war with Iran to obliterate the nuclear weapons program that, by the way, we already obliterated"

Blind refugee abandoned by Border Patrol dies in Buffalo. A nearly blind refugee abandoned by Border Patrol miles from his home dies in Buffalo after having been missing for nearly a week.

Our federal government killed a disabled genocide survivor and is covering up for a child rapist. And that is just today’s news. It is just unconscionable to be treating this as normal or acceptable in any way.
