I'm off to Taiwan & Hong Kong soon for two weeks, but then when I'm back, I'm looking forward to being in conversation with friends and colleagues on the important topic of #Genocide #Denial. If you're in #Amsterdam, come join us. #InternationalJustice www.niod.nl/activiteiten...

WAR DON'T SEX CRIMES HIDE CRIMES

Daisy is suffering greatly, that's very clear.

I want to read human-written text, not some "all sounds the same" efficient, corporate robo-speak, which makes everyone sound the same. I hate that this is happening. If you cannot bother writing it, I cannot bother reading it.

Spain kicking ass.

is there some reason they dress him as Dracula now

🚨🚨 Grim news: Governments in five EU MS are “consistently and intentionally” eroding the #ruleoflaw, Europe’s leading civil liberties group has warned, while democratic standards are deteriorating in six more, including historically strong democracies. 🧵 www.theguardian.com/law/2026/mar...

I don't want 4 people on the moon. I want healthcare.

Good morning @polstudiesassoc.bsky.social! We’re all set up in Examination Schools with 50% off @princetonupress.bsky.social books for attendees at #PSA26

Won't touch it with a long stick. My brain, often shitty and distracted, is my own, and I want to protect it. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/29/o...

I grew up in this neighbourhood, and I miss seeing it. #Travno #NoviZagreb #Architecture #Zagreb

This is going to be such a fucking disaster, and it's for absolutely *nothing*

Sniff: Set to turbo.

Vigeland: We talk about how, oh no, they just hate us for our freedom. No, they hate us because we bomb girls schools.

I don’t love being in a society where you can sell enough pillows to do meaningful damage to democracy or sell enough children’s books to do a genocide or sell enough chicken sandwiches to abolish gay marriage That all seems like a ridiculous way to do society to me

“Raising questions” 🙄

he thinks he's just so clever. like, he's letting you in on the secret that he's shredding the constitution and he thinks it's funny.

Oudone Lothirath missed four out of five chemotherapy appointments while in ICE detention and received no medical care there. Now he will likely die in a matter of days. www.startribune.com/how-ice-deta...

Incredible to watch the leadership of a country lose its mind. In real time.

I am not an expert on procedures, but I don't think it's helpful that it's so convoluted&impossible for the public to understand. For an institution which exists to provide accountability transparently, it does not seem to apply those inwards successfully. #ICC #ASP www.nytimes.com/2026/03/25/w...

The morning coffee read for today:

Republican “governance” at work. “Even if the conflict is wound down within weeks, fertiliser disruption alone would cause US food inflation to rise from around 2% to 4% year on year. If fighting drags into the summer, the increase could reach double digits." www.ft.com/content/27e0...

Might be the greatest opening paragraph of anything ever.

after much deliberation and giving AI the benefit of the doubt, Wikipedia editors have had enough of AI slop. New policy bans LLM generated content, periodt www.404media.co/wikipedia-ba...

A viral dog rescue from 2016 is now immortalized with a statue in Kazakhstan. When a dog fell into the Sayran reservoir, bystanders formed a human chain to pull him to safety. The statue is a reminder of the value of unity, solidarity and collective action. 14/10 for all

Ok, this is my morning coffee read now:

No Israel prosecutions for killing Palestinian civilians in occupied West Bank since start of decade

Love it. <3

This needs to spread broadly and widely. Don't succumb to the soulless corporate machine. Don't succumb to the fancy predictive text crap. Shout it from the rooftops! #HigherEd #AmTeaching #Academia

Here is a good read about #corporate bullshit language, which sometimes also seeps into #academia. "The people that are the most susceptible to the corporate bullshit tended to choose the worst solutions to those problems on a consistent basis.” Fascinating stuff. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

"A major story that probably doesn’t get talked about enough is the reality that the president of the United States is, well, out of his mind."

Geniuses. Just absolute geniuses.

"There is no way of knowing where international relations are going and what will be possible. What is certain is that...any fair trial, is a result of quiet hard work, and persistence, and a belief that it is worth it, while at the same time remaining cognizant of the limits of this process."

Hello Breuer, and bonus senior dog in the background <3 #dog

I don't even know how Armando Iannucci would even make a 'Death of Stalin'-esque satire of this period, given that the actual people involved are literal cartoon characters.

I love this, get a life you hobbyless bitches

Big stick energy

I mean, sure, except there's not path to jurisdiction, is there?

Yep. In fact, the real failing of students was when we stopped requiring them to regularly search a library catalogue for their reading and instead produced lists with hyperlinks that students simply had to click. As soon as they have to go off list, they’re lost.
