As scholars of genocide, we demand an end to Israel’s atrocities | Open letter Within weeks, 400 colleagues joined our organization. We say: it is not too late to save lives. End the genocide now

“Yad Vashem and the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum adhere to a “Palestine exception” when opposing genocide... organizations such as the ADL, use spurious accusations of antisemitism to silence or discredit those who dare to speak out.”

We are hiring Nanyang Assistant Professors. Successful candidates will be offered a tenure-track appointment, a reduced teaching load for the first few years, and a start-up grant of up to S$1 million.

That penalty shootout was brutal. Amazing work by the Lionesses. Incredible.

SPORTS!

👇Continually surprised at the number of British people on this website and indeed in British politics who haven’t grasped this.

Joys in commuting on Southern fail: intended train advertised as 15 minutes late, actually left five minutes earlier than that so I missed it. Next train supposedly 5 minutes after that is 23 minutes late. Outstanding.

WeTransfer TOS says they can use all your uploaded content for genAI

Bye forever, WeTransfer.

Historians: this is a worrying development. Historians use the Hansard to analyze what was said in parliamentary discussions. If the Hansard is subject to editing out things that are politically unacceptable at the time, we (and future historians) have a problem.

A panel from a Calvin and Hobbes comic. Calvin's mom, eating dinner, says "Life could be worse, Calvin." Calvin, clearly upset, his mouth huge says "Life could be a lot BETTER too!"

happy birthday to bill watterson who gave me the gift of encapsulating my entire ethical approach in one comic panel.

They hate London because it is beautiful Matthew Goodwin went to that there London the other day and what he found shook him to his core.

Blistering piece from @iandunt.bsky.social on Matthew Goodwin's visit to London.

"The success of London is a point-blank, up-against-the-wall-motherfucker refutation of the right-wing populist world view."

Congrats to every analytic philosopher that rallied behind her, you helped forge another right-wing pundit

Oof, a brutal exchange for the defense.

The judge asks if they can point out a single grant that is used to "support unlawful discrimination," as the NIH alleges in its termination letters.

The defense says it can't.

I worked in a hiking shop years ago, Timothy Dalton came in one day looking for a brand of shoes we didn't stock and I gave him directions to an alternative supplier. He was very nice as I recall.

Hundreds marched through Newcastle today to say no to compulsory redundancies.

From every corner of the UK, people showed up to protect jobs and the future of education.

Thank you for standing in solidarity ✊

I’m watching parliament’s women and equalities committee grill Baroness Falkner and the EHRC so you don’t have to, follow along with this thread for a summary of what’s said

Ask your MP to put reproductive rights into law The right to make decisions about our families and bodies is not protected by law. The 1967 Abortion Act allows people to seek abortion under certain circumstances but abortion otherwise remains a cri...

Farage and the US Religious Right are celebrating policy wins here - and there's been a huge rise in prosecutions for abortion.

Please email your MP and ask them to support Stella Creasy's amendment to decriminalise abortion; we've made it so easy for you. action.goodlawproject.org/decriminalis...

National rally in support of higher education, Newcastle.

People defending AI-generated “art” because AI is also used to find medical cures is like saying that smashing people’s toes with hammers should be acceptable because hammers are also used to build hospitals.

Doge cuts to USAid blamed for 300,000 deaths — most of them children Elon Musk’s tenure running Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency has, according to the academic Brooke Nichols, caused thousands of ‘preventable deaths’

My thoughts on the Musk Trump fight are.....Musk is responsible for 300,000 deaths, of which 200,000 are dead kids, & we should NEVER let anything distract us from holding him to account

Thank you, Brooke Nichols, for tracking these deaths: www.impactcounter.com

Happy Pride month, all! Way back in 2018 I made these galaxy pride flags. They were shared many thousands of times, featured on Vice, and even made their way onto book covers and into video games.

Here are the original ones I created (in no particular order!) so Bluesky can have them too. 💙
