I’d repeat my “hey academics are you reconsidering research trips and conferences in the US now” but I think we have already consolidated into “yikes yes” and “lol I have nothing to fear” camps.

I talked to author and investigative journalist Seth Harp about his new book The Fort Bragg Cartel: Drug Trafficking and Murder in the Special Forces. it is an absolutely insane story you should listen and also read the book www.insurgentspod.com/p/ep-400-hum...

Fascinating. Microsoft emailed me to say it was raising the price of Microsoft 365, but when i went to cancel it offered me me the old price — without all the AI bullshit. It’s forcing AI on everyone and making them pay more for it, then only telling them they don’t have to if they try to cancel.

Happy to share that as of today I’m an Associate Professor with tenure! Will continue to work in my own small way towards collective liberation and justice for all, from Palestine to Kashmir to Congo to Turtle Island.

I can’t think of a presidency that has done more open and undeniable damage to this country, and the wider world, in such a short space of time, than this one. Shocking, despicable:

I was really into Radiohead as a teenager but I was also really into reading The Economist so anyway that’s a time of life that one can move past

I did not know that Denise Gough is also Yennefer!!!!

Shameful report that breezes past how Saudi Arabia threatened to do a 9/11 on Canada and how the LAVs it bought from Canada were used in Yemen, potentially in violation of international law, while trotting out the trope that the country is making big strides on women’s rights. Give me a break.

So basically BlueSky is treating "being Palestinian" as a violation of their terms and conditions 😒

Rewatched Rogue One after Andor s2 and cried so much when Andor tells Jyn her dad would be proud of her (also Saw!) bc his last utterance is to comfort someone else, but also himself bc he’s thinking of those who raised them being proud and so thinking of MAARVA 😭😭😭

staging a show-and-tell about a fake genocide during a real genocide to the government that has done the most to seek justice for that real genocide is designed to break our brains. They know what they are doing. www.cnn.com/2025/05/21/w...

i thought the whole point of electing this guy was that he wasn’t an idiot

Just learned the Prauf and Rost are the same voice actor ahhh 😭

can someone please build software that disables AI across all applications? i’d pay.

Liberals have the nerve to utter “reconciliation”with Indigenous people while expressing solidarity with another colonizing state that’s annihilating a group of humans and erasing them from the face of the earth.

SCOOP: Emails obtained by @zeteo.com show the Trump admin will now force schools to report international students for broad categories like protests or "antisemitic actions." Comes the same week the Trump admin welcomed a white Afrikaner who once said “Jews are untrustworthy and a dangerous group.”

Seeing arguments that AI is beneficial for marginalized groups and I cannot stress enough how we must strongly reject this as lacking material analyses of labour, intellectual production as process, media form and content, etc. Actively dangerous. Pls let’s be serious.

Reading books is so OP

Kinderblock to prison pipeline

Sometimes at the store the grape bag will be labelled Autumn Crisp but there will be other green grapes inside like Sweet Globe — fraudulent!!!!

the technodystopia is here nymag.com/intelligence...

Andor s2 starts off bolts of linen

Magnolia time

Walking around Cyrodiil picking flowers

Stayed up late last night and finished reading Sunrise on the Reaping and it left me sobbing 😭😭😭

April 28, 2025: Migrants are making SOS signs out of their bodies so drones can see them at our country's concentration camps.

I'm sure by now you've seen the viral clip of Pierre Poilievre dismissively answering questions from a journalist and eating an apple. In light of recent election results, I reached out to the journalist in that clip to get his thoughts. pressprogress.ca/journalist-i...

The most delulu ppl on the planet: we hope China de-escalates this crisis we have manufactured (the only thing they’re manufacturing lol)

Election stream starts at 7pm tonight with @ericwickham.ca @readtheorchard.org and @robrousseau.bsky.social at www.twitch.tv/robrousseau

Post-election schism in the Conservative Party inshaAllah 🙏🏽

From a comrade: "Ford makes a final pitch to Conservative voters"

No gatekeeping here, I need you all to know about Autumn Crisp grapes. They are absolutely perfect.

we need to get away from using chatgpt for tariff calculations (unconfirmed) and go back to the old system of using an octopus pulling levers in a windowless room to maintain a stable economy

We have had nearly two decades of panic about Free Speech on Campus and not a single case, not even the ones they made up, were as bad as what's happening now

"Persons being deported may be sent to countries other than their countries of origin" is INSANE

Hundreds of international students have just received an email telling them their visas have been revoked. The ‘justification’ is campus activism or social media posts. timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/us/hun...

Fred jameson wanted a free Palestine and u should too
