‘I wish I could push ChatGPT off a cliff’: professors scramble to save critical thinking in an age of AI As AI has upended the way students learn, academics worry about the future of the humanities - and society at large

I'm one of many professors quoted in this report from Alice Speri. I really appreciate The Guardian taking an angle which has basically eluded every other major outlet.

In Iran, Germany Is Helping Dismantle International Law – Again The U.S.–Israeli strikes on Iran – and Germany's response – show how quickly the so-called "rules-based order" is collapsing.

It’s already happening. Iran attacked a desalination plant in Bahrain.

This war has to end immediately. If it turns into a water war we will be dealing with a whole different level of a humanitarian catastrophe across the region.

“At the root of so many of our moral and political crises today is what Simone Weil, describing life under European fascism, called ‘the adoration of power in its most brutal form’.”

Governor Newsom's recent comments about Israel were confusing and problematic at a critical moment, as the United States, Israel, and their regional partners confront significant threats from the Iranian regime.
If the Governor intended to express concern about proposals to annex parts of the West Bank, that debate requires precision. Invoking the term "apartheid" is wrong and inflammatory, does not reflect the complex realities on the ground, and only risks inflaming tensions.

The future of the Democratic Party will be centrist Democrats saying factually true things (and in fact understating them) and the collective pro Israel lobby freaking the fuck out

It is true that he has absolutely no real views whatsoever but that's actually really helpful in this situation, because you should take it as a clear sign and a win if someone with no beliefs feels the wind is blowing in your direction.

My country is being destroyed in front of my eyes by the West’s favourite genocidal state and I’m supposed to act as though these sociopaths want to have peace.

There can be no peace in the fucking Middle East and I promise you that if Israel is not stopped the horrors will reach the West

Lawmakers anticipate Trump will seek emergency funding for ‘open-ended’ Iran war Top Trump administration officials briefed Congress on the U.S. military onslaught Tuesday but did not say whether they will ask for supplemental defense funding.

It is an absolute non-starter to provide any funding for another forever war. Congress has already appropriated a trillion dollars for military spending and now you want more?

With some Senate democrats already hedging, where does the rest of Dem leadership stand?

Why are current protest movements against the war in Iran comparably muted as compared with those against the war in Iraq? Pessimism because of the failure to stop that war? The consolidation of right-wing forces in the media? Exhaustion due to the impossible conditions of social reproduction?
