In today’s frightening world, everything is political, & orgs pretending otherwise appear clueless or complicit.
Winter sports need snow, not fossil fuels. Letting Eni sponsor the Winter Olympics is absurd.
Oil and gas companies are melting the very conditions athletes depend on, then using the Games to greenwash their image.
The International Olympic Committee should drop fossil fuel sponsors.

More spraying of likely glyphosate, a herbicide, by #Israel now also taking place over agricultural areas in border areas with #Lebanon, affecting livelihoods of farmers and posing additional health risk to civilians.

Too often women must choose between busy roads with little protection or quieter routes with poor lighting. Both are unsafe.
I’m calling on the Government to build the infrastructure needed to make women feel safe on our roads.
Manchester capitalism rebranded as a lifestyle choice. It's what happens when the left withdraws from shaping identities around work, life, and politics. Individualism, conservatism ("marry early"), puritanism. They all shape how he will act politically. "Care for the sick? No, it's their own fault"

Also, the lit review allows us to closely engage with theory, think carefully,and grow as academics.
At the end of the day, why write a paper at all if AI can do it for you anyway?
There’s growing momentum to boycott the FIFA World Cup.
What I want to know is why are Canada and Mexico still hosting alongside the US? Trump wants to annex Canada and Canada is still going along with sharing the World Cup? Trump obviously doesn’t believe in Mexican sovereignty either.
Personal carbon footprints are useful — but they tell a very incomplete story about individual climate action.
Our new paper argues for going beyond consumption to recognise influence, roles, and the capacity to shape systems.

There you have it, the Board of Peace is nothing more than a corrupt real estate deal dressed up as diplomacy with the sole purpose of enriching Trump and his favoured cronies.

As Bill Gates recommends a “strategic pivot” away from climate change, the Gates Foundation made record investments in fossil fuel companies in 2024, despite its 2019 pledge to divest.
No one should ever listen to Gates about climate change again.
The Times cheered on Israel's genocide.
And now they're using the apocalyptic consequences to sell copies.
Absolutely nauseating.
Es nervt so, dass Merz die immer gleiche Leier über die „faulen Deutschen“ verbreitet, was gem. am Jahresarbeitsvolumen eine Lüge ist.
Gleichzeitig kontert ihn niemand in Interviews oder anderweitig öffentlich, dass das mit: „Wir brauchen mehr Kinder“ und „mehr familiär pflegen“ unvereinbar ist.
There is, unsurprisingly, not a single report in western mainstream media about Israel's raid of Birzeit university yesterday. Also not a peep from universities.

Schlicht erschütternd, wie Regierungen versuchen, Tatsachen zu vernebeln, sie nicht beim Namen zu nennen, Bürger:innen im Dunkeln zu lassen über die politische Realität. Das erodiert die Grundvoraussetzungen der Demokratie. Wer soll sich so motiviert fühlen, Demokratie aktiv zu gestalten?

No one is actually explaining how firing academics for opposing Israel’s genocide would stop two people who never went to uni from this shooting.
“Positivism Creep”
“The subtle, often unacknowledged infiltration of positivist or post-positivist assumptions into methodologies where they do not naturally, philosophically, practically, or epistemologically belong.”
By @thomasgraves.bsky.social @maddipow.bsky.social @annayahprosser.bsky.social
“When participants used ChatGPT to draft essays, brain scans revealed a 47% drop in neural connectivity across regions associated with memory, language, & critical reasoning.
Their brains worked less, but they felt just as engaged—a kind of metacognitive mirage.”🧪
