This is part of a massive generative slop / plagiarism operation seemingly being run by one dude operating a bunch of similarly designed websites - "Krishna Pathak" (not sure if actual real dude) Also being syndicated on MSN. Registered at 'paper mill' address in Wyoming GenAI is the WORST

Please God. Can some mainstream news outlet explain properly how long and how costly the immigration process in the UK is? And that there is NO RECOURSE TO PUBLIC FUNDS the whole time. And you PAY A SURCHARGE for the NHS. And you pay your taxes.

We need more in-depth reporting on UK university finances like this. Research , research funding and their relation to teaching and teaching funding could do with a similar level of detail. Here's a sharing link for 3 non-subscribers: on.ft.com/3ImSMWa

What Trump said is a fucking outrage. It’s against democracy. If Donald Trump has his way on this, our democracy is over.

The Republican reaction to Kirk’s murder has been a campaign of state repression that ends with Trumpist toadies deciding what Americans are allowed to think, do and say. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

"...every ounce of my energy has been devoted to an active opposition to cruel bigotry, convulsive violence, and the sadistic persecution which has characterised the philosophy and practice of fascism...nothing fruitful or sincere could ever emerge from association between us."

Trump is posthumously awarding Charlie Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Vance flew his casket on Air Force 2. A memorial is happening at The Kennedy Center. State Dept and Pentagon are taking steps to prevent criticism of Kirk. This is NOT normal treatment for an extremist. It’s a message.

Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."

The professor has been fired and senior administrators removed from their post. No mention of this in the New York Times, The Free Press, The Atlantic or other outlets who drove the campus speech moral panic.

'The British Academy has warned that students in parts of the North, South West & East of England, as well as large areas of Wales, Scotland & Northern Ireland, are losing access to social sciences, humanities & arts courses.' www.timeshighereducation.com/news/humanit... @timeshighered.bsky.social

Clearly the answer to this is to make kids spend more time on a laptop with AI.

This is the official spokesperson for the White House, stating that the President hopes to deploy the United States military to occupy every city controlled by the political party that opposes him. Explicitly.

In the last week of the 1936 campaign, FDR reminded a massive crowd in Madison Square Garden that "organized money" was "unanimous in their hate for me--and I welcome their hatred!" And then the country rewarded him with a 523-8 landslide in the electoral college. This is, in fact, good politics.

Almost goes without saying, but if this happened under a Democratic president, there would be at least a week of headlines and GOP lawmakers would demand hearings.

“The EU is continuously implementing major new policy rules on environmental protection. If the UK doesn’t keep up, it could find itself unintentionally out of step.”

We’re spending over $1 MILLION a day to deploy the National Guard in D.C. Trump says this is for Fighting homelessness & crime. But guess what... just a QUARTER of that million would house D.C.'s ENTIRE unhoused population. Think about it.

@elysegraham.bsky.social: "The health of the nation’s libraries is a national security issue." During WWII, the Office of Strategic Services...sent the war’s most unlikely spies, professors and librarians, overseas as undercover agents to hunt down maps and other documents. time.com/7024056/libr...

So excited to share my new article in @pastpresentsoc.bsky.social: "Colonial World-Making and Global Knowledges at the Early Modern Cape of Good Hope" (Open access) academic.oup.com/past/advance...

Thinking about how, in 1979, Jimmy Carter installed solar panels on the White House roof, to provide hot water for the building. Ronald Reagan removed them.

Every future imagined by a tech company is worse than the previous iteration.

Yo, historians, what the actual ****? I've seen how LLMs handle "history." This is... not good. 🗃️

What a tragic waste of tax dollars. Terrible for the climate. Terrible for consumers throughout the northeast, as this is likely to raise gas and electric prices throughout the region, including where I live in NY State. insideclimatenews.org/news/1507202...

Remember Stephen Colbert, who looked at corruption and called it what it was, right up until they took his microphone away. The show must go on, they say. But sometimes, the show just ends. https://trib.al/UJxNi1E

I've had many conversations with students who don't want to use AI, for various reasons, and they are frustrated by their universities' efforts to push AI onto them. Many students are more thoughtful and critical about AI than ed and tech leaders and resist the "everyone is doing it" defense.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court allows the Trump administration to move forward with the abolition of the Department of Education. It gives no explanation for its order. All three liberals dissent. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25... From Sotomayor's dissent:

I get that many people are alarmed by trans folks' coming out, trying to live normal lives as themselves. It's new. It's different. But Trump's demonization of them is deeply evil & self-serving. I beg you to watch John Oliver's excellent piece on trans athletes. Watch. It. youtu.be/flSS1tjoxf0?...

The right-wing backlash against #Superman this week got me thinking: Has this happened before? That led to the discovery of these headline — from April 1940, when the official newspaper of the SS took umbrage at the comic book hero and ridiculed its creators. My how times change ...

WaPo: purchased and gutted to pump propaganda by an oligarch. LA Times: purchased and gutted to pump propaganda by an oligarch. CNN: gutted and pushing propaganda MSNBC: being actively gutted and spun off CBS News: being purchased by an oligarch's failson and set up to push propaganda.

Remember kids, even in 1949 we were calling out these losers for media illiteracy. It is definitively UN-AMERICAN not to know that Superman is an immigrant who embodies the best of American ideals. It's his entire thing. Superman: A Classic Message Restored | DC www.dc.com/blog/2017/08...

Folds: If we’ve been told our whole lives that we can’t spend money on the arts because they’re not important—then why was taking over the Kennedy Center and the arts the first thing they did? It is extremely important. It’s the bedrock of self-expression.

Inside the digital publishing industry, which I try to monitor closely, this is the big news. By Julia Alexander at Puck.

Absolutely thrilled to announce that my book Segregated Species was one of two winners of the RHS First Book Prize. Many congratulations to co-winner Laura Flannigan and the article prize winners William Ross Jones and Michaela Kalcher! For more see royalhistsoc.org/winners-of-t...

haven't we known this for decades?

My statement on Donald Trump's threat to deport me and his praise for Eric Adams, who the President "helped out" of legal accountability.

Final vote. 50-50. VP breaks the tie. One single GOP Senator could have stopped this abomination. Saved millions of parents from watching their child go hungry. Saved the lives destroyed when Medicaid disappears. They will all live forever with the horror of this bill.

We are hiring! Fully tenured associate professorship in environmental history! We are looking for someone who can be a strong contributor to the history group, to a new #envhum related MA program (if all goes well), and to @greenhouseuis.net. #envhist

🚨 There’s a lot of horrific news out of Washington right now—but you might have missed this: Senate Republicans just introduced a plan to sell off 120 million acres of our public lands. Let me break down what’s in the bill and why it’s a full-scale land grab. 🧵

public lands are on the verge of being annihilated. a few months ago, i wrote about what they are and why they matter

Essential reading (by @jasonstanley.bsky.social) for every American. The media, aided by a handful of reactionary academics and compliant university administrations, has sold the public a huge lie about wokeness on college campuses, enabling the extreme right. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This is how you normalize authoritarianism.
