"But all indications are that Washington will scale up its attack on the ICC, four diplomatic sources in The Hague and New York said. "The road of individual sanctions has been exhausted. It is now more about when, rather than if, they will take the next step," a senior diplomat said." 1/2

“Are patients allowed to leave you guys gifts?” followed by slides showing staff laughing, pointing, and even posing playfully around the stains with the caption: “guess the substance!.” But they say medical humanities and basic bioethics training are useless. ktla.com/news/local-n...

Reminder that Putin has never said he wants a trilateral meeting, had never said he would respect Ukrainian sovereignty, and has never said he wants to end the war. Not to be a downer, but the discussion of security guarantees is premature.

#TrumpEpsteinCoverUp A very important piece, reporting @katemanne.bsky.social analysis on Substack www.thenation.com/article/poli...

I want to laugh, but I can't ...

Read them all. You won’t regret it.

By @katemanne.bsky.social "The real conspiracy theory around Trump and Epstein is that multiple apparently unconnected women lied, and continue to lie, about Trump’s behavior. This with nothing to gain, and much to lose, by speaking out about his misdeeds." Link 👇👇

If Kennedy’s reconstituted ACIP rolls back key recommendations, vaccines themselves won’t disappear but access will erode. Insurers could stop covering them. Clinics might stop offering them...., millions of children would lose protection against diseases such as measles, polio"👇

I talked to 15 teachers/professors about how AI and ChatGPT is ruining their lives: www.404media.co/teachers-are...

This past semester was the most stressful of my academic career. I had 180 students and about half cheated at some point in the semester They submit weekly reflections where the questions are opinion-based, graded only on effort, don't care about grammar SO MANY students submitted ChatGPT essays

A fascist regime

Finally here! This paper is very close to my heart. I hope to contribute in opening different conversations about what needs to be done to fight hunger and climate change. Link utppublishing.com/doi/10.3138/...
