AI is the new golden calf of corporate academia. As expected, so, so many administrators & colleagues prove to be gullible 🐑 devoid of any critical thinking as soon as💰 appears. This is also why the Humanities are getting defunded & marginalized: Our deep understanding of power is an inconvenience.

Americans have hit one of Iran’s largest pharmaceutical companies, Darupakhsh. Note that Iran has no connections to international pharmaceutical companies, so they make all the needed medicine within the country. This is literally dangerous.

Opinion: Iran’s Supreme Leader is dead, but the Islamic Republic was always bigger than just him By making Ayatollah Khamenei a martyr and continuing their strikes on Iran, the U.S. and Israel risk unifying a more aggrieved country

My latest for the Globe and Mail:

“Let us not mistake this moment for liberation. Iranians didn’t ask for this war – it came to them. What comes next cannot continue to be bestowed through bombs. Freedom doesn’t sound like a siren.”

Inside the Pro-Israel Campaign to Stop ‘The Voice of Hind Rajab’ From Winning an Oscar A group led by top Hollywood executives and linked to the Israeli government is trying to smear a film about a little girl killed by Israeli forces.

NEW: A group of Hollywood execs are running a smear campaign against "The Voice of Hind Rajab" to stop it from winning an Oscar.

The group has ties to the Israeli government & received support from foundations of Russian oligarch Len Blavatnik & Casey Wasserman (both featured in the Epstein Files).

I don’t give a fuck about whatever damn rhetoric you might want to use and whatever bloody politics you support. The entities, armies, and the leaders who approved this are terrorists and are responsible for cultural genocide and need to be treated as such. Fuck Bibi, Fuck IDF, fuck T-rump.

The USA is a settler colony built through the weaponization of a legal fiction (Doctrine of discovery) as a way to legitimize genocide, Land theft, and slavery. To lull oneself with comforting myths of settler innocence and virtue betrays one's investment in USA imperialism & hegemony.

Just like in Palestine, the 🇺🇸🇮🇱 Zionist axis is not only keen on sacrificing children and butchering civilians; it is also invested in destroying history and heritage. Source: @smohyeddin.bsky.social www.instagram.com/p/DVY2deRDfvU/

🧩 No amount of Orientalist propaganda will change that fact.
🩸 This is all the more so the case when said propaganda emanated from a ped0philic, r@pist, and all around morally deprived and gen@cidal elite that is responsible for millions of deaths worldwide since WWII 6/
