This is horrific and exactly what those of us in Black studies, gender studies, women’s studies have been warning our colleagues in the sciences about. Their seeming neutrality will not save them.

@granatumrum.bsky.social 🙏 Dear freind We still live in pain and hunger. We have lost everything, but we have not lost hope in you. Life alone seems impossible. Please help my family find strength and hope with your kindness🙏♥️

📽️ WATCH: The most powerful institution in Albany, Georgia, is its hospital: Phoebe Putney Memorial. Yet for decades, the city’s residents have suffered some of the nation’s worst health disparities. “Sick in a Hospital Town,” our new 5-part series, drops tomorrow, Dec. 7.

I think this is a really important thing about libraries that many people may not realize. not only not tracking, but ideally really making an effort to maintain privacy on hold shelves as well. Corporations and many government entities are attacking our privacy; support libraries in preserving it.

Here’s the thing, emerging scientists aren’t going to flee to do science elsewhere…they just won’t do the science. We will lose at least one, if not two generations of knowledge if we don’t get this shit sorted out immediately.

The popular American children's content creator, Ms Rachel, has said that since being shortlisted by a pro-Israel group for "Antisemite of the Year", there has been a spike in threats towards her and her family.

Why would some British Indians find allies in Tommy Robinson and Reform? The uncomfortable answer is Islamophobia, writes Kiran Sidhu.

I wonder how many local recreational leagues will drop USTA sanction over this.

A study on 1.7 million people in Hong Kong shows superior hybrid immunity to Covid in people who got vaccinated before infection vs. people who got infected first. "Our findings are a direct rebuttal to arguments for natural immunity," the authors write. doi.org/10.1016/j.va...

$20 billion could end homelessness in the US $40 billion could end hunger globally Both would still only cost 3/4 of what Meta blew on Mark Zuckerberg’s obviously bad ideas because nobody would tell him they were stupid because he’s worth over $200 billion because he doesn’t pay his share of taxes

It's a difficult needle to thread because a bully (AI industry) has no moral compass nor will stop bullying if we acquiesce. But that doesn't also mean we don't fight back. We try to make this clear from the abstract here too: "AI cannot be allowed to drive change." doi.org/10.5281/zeno... 1/n

So the next time someone tries to draw you into a conversation about that piece they saw on 60 Minutes or read in the NYT about how educators are coping with/ combatting/whatever students using GenAI, don’t accept that framing. Make it about the industry that is impoverishing their education.

Before October 7, my son went to school & dreamed of his future, but his school was destroyed. All I want is for him to study again.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Muhammad. Muhammad worked in his father’s electrical appliances store but it was destroyed. He is using his fundraiser to help his 17 year old brother Muhannad who was shot while trying to get aid at the US site and had his spleen removed

I can relate to this. A speeding driver killed my grandfather, and from what I can tell from the coroner’s report, the police didn’t even investigate it properly. A speeding driver killed my parents - there needs to be a cultural change www.bbc.com/news/article...

Diederik Stapel was a massive watershed moment in psychology. However, he was -- and let's be slightly glib here -- some guy from The Netherlands who wrote social psychology papers. The full accounting of the Eysenck case is approx, at minimum, TWO STAPELS. retractionwatch.com/2025/12/03/n...

A population continually slammed with covid, continually losing all its immune memory from measles outbreaks, hammered with foodbourne illnesses of every sort both old and new, each learning exciting new tricks as they party inside their many hosts

Since Tracy Beth Hoeg is getting a promotion at the FDA I thought I'd repost a thread I did that exemplifies her past behavior as a merchant of doubt. 🧵

You do not scam the grief stricken. This is extremely basic morality. If you can’t pass this test you should not be in society.

It’s a shame NU students aren’t allowed to take classes w me—especially when the late Gene Kapaloski (RIP) gave $3 mil for the Renberg Chair & LGBTQ students pay tuition, which is being given to Trump instead. Still, we got to learn together in Deering Meadow, & those who need me find me…

Perfect natural experiment. If Biden and Congress had treated the Jan 6th insurrection like the treason it was and jailed the people behind it, Trump’s power would have shriveled on the vine.

In the nineteenth century, British officials became obsessed with collecting and codifying 'secret languages' across northern India. In our latest article, Vipin Krishna explores how linguistics became a tool for classification, surveillance, and control.

Just imagining how much better it would be if ALL news stories about vaccine-preventable illnesses were illustrated with pictures of people with the disease, not pictures of needle injections. If you must show something that people will find scary & unpleasant, make it the disease, not the cure.

One of the reasons servicemembers, from admirals and generals to the greenest private, should know “don’t follow illegal orders” is that this administration is a goulash of dishonorable character flaws like cowardice and dishonesty. There is no bus under which these pissants will not throw you.

Missouri's age verification law goes into effect today. 🚫 📈 Searches for VPNs are spiking in the state. 🔐 People know these laws put their privacy and sensitive data at risk. They find ways to get around bad laws, like using VPNs or going to non-compliant websites that don't check age.

Marcel found it — it is not where it is in the pdf (between the end of the paper and the beginning of the bibliography), but hidden in a separate view under "author information" which opens some new window called "Funding Information" that is not searchable from the main window.

"… in the present instance, it was perfectly clear to the accused that killing defenceless people in the life-boats could be nothing else but a breach of the law. As naval officers by profession they were well aware …."

incredible to see the U.S. right echoing the Chinese Communist Party.
