Breaking: Maryland's corrections department has released a safety report on a since-evacuated jail facility downtown that revealed the building had become so decrepit, human waste was dripping from the ceiling and detainees were able to dig through walls. www.thebanner.com/community/cr...

There is no legal justification, whatsoever, to use military force against a NATO ally like Greenland. If any military member participates in this without congressional authorization, they are following illegal orders.

it is the duty of every single person with cure of souls to be making statements like this publicly & privately.

ICE and CBP have a habit of turning themselves into victims in cases where they're the ones wielding violence

The murdered woman's glove compartment is filled with stuffed animals.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

The video shows ICE agents removing the woman's body from the car & carrying her down the road, no ambulance. An onlooker tried to approach to help, identified himself as a doctor & ICE pointed guns at him.

This is the ICE agent who murdered a woman by shooting her multiple times in the face.

If you have a single ICE goon in your life I hope you spend every minute making their lives miserable and telling them what decent people think about them.

DO NOT IDENTIFY or show images of people who you believe recorded video or photo of the killing in Minneapolis. Or who are eyewitnesses. You are putting their lives in danger. Let people come forward themselves in an orderly and as protected as possible fashion. Please!

Primary every one of the 75 Democrats who expressed gratitude to ICE. (Full list in this article.) #Primaries #ICE #PrimaryTheDems 75 Democrats Express ‘Gratitude’ to ICE in Antisemitism Vote Amid LA Riots www.newsweek.com/75-democrats...

Masked ICE agents, it seems, are now killing American citizens on American streets. Any Democrat who doesn’t support abolishing ICE should be instantly primaried and run out of the party. This is non negotiable. You cannot support the continued existence of this fascist murderous secret police.

One sign I actually really like my job, workplace, colleagues and students: feeling pretty happy stepping onto campus after a sabbatical whut?! You can hate me I deserve it.

This feeling is exactly what Indians like me have experienced over the past two decades. It keeps getting stupider trust me.

I am extremely confused as to why the UK government and police are saying Grok’s mass-scale CSAM generation is an issue for Ofcom. This isn’t about X failing to moderate CSAM, which is an Online Safety Act issue. It is about the company and its technology being actively involved in its generation.

If you are in London and fulfil the criteria, please please go on behalf of my fourteen year (and my inner fourteen year old) omg

"You know the "is anyone on the plane a doctor?" trope? That's our national situation. And when the person who stands up isn't white British, we reply that we’d actually rather die. This is no less absurd than the mainstream, bi-partisan view on immigration in most developed democracies right now."

Next Tuesday (13 Jan, 17-18.30 London time) Mona Damulji (UCSB) will present on "The Cultural Infrastructure of Oil in Iran and Iraq" to our virtual seminar series. For details and to register go to: www.exeter.ac.uk/events/detai... The remainder of the presentations are scheduled as below.

This is so gross. These psychopaths are taking basic services away from CHILDREN.

On a strict diet of icy hot and muscle relaxants. Again. Middle age is just embarrassing.

somebody at UChicago is feeding preprints to LLMs without authors' consent, in a research study they have the gall to suggest to authors they've opted-in that they volunteer to evaluate the LLMs' suggestions regarding their own work. lol, lmao even. here is the invite and my reply

Chuckle-worthy: The Modi government paid a lobbyist *multiple times* to point out posts on X. www.thehindu.com/news/nationa...

Contractors will receive monetary bounties in exchange for turning over the whereabouts of specified immigrants as quickly as possible, using whatever physical and digital surveillance tools they see fit.

Ugandan opposition leader Bobi Wine accuses Elon Musk’s Starlink of cutting internet access in Uganda days before Jan. 15 elections, saying the shutdown helps President Museveni suppress dissent and free expression.

Starting the year right with an urgent care visit to see what body part I never knew I had I have now pulled by the radical act of breathing while middle aged.

Study 2: When kids recorded answers PRIVATELY (experimenter looked away), the partisan effect vanished. If kids genuinely believed their group, privacy shouldn't matter. But it did -- suggesting public agreement was about signaling, not sincere belief. 6/11

My @financialtimes.com subscription continues to pay off.

Anyone remember Enron? Anyhoo, just a thought. www.wsj.com/tech/meta-ai...

It really is a bit too on the nose to write about how British business interests cozied up to the imperial government and shaped its policies while ALL OF THIS IS HAPPENING www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Just saw this in LinkedIn for anyone interested in looking into Grok's production of CSAM and non-consensual sexualised imagery. www.linkedin.com/posts/mtechl...

“Our neighbour’s autocratic and avaricious leader is demonstrably eager to use his country’s massive military power to advance his interests. We must get ready.” www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

So USians what’s the plan? Because given the numbers of crimes this administration has committed and the precedence of Jan 6th, there is no way there is a peaceful transfer of power after this.

I'm posting this for no other reason than goats Well, solar's a pretty good reason, too And also, solar is the GOAT

Everyone thinks they are a historian

Barnabe Rich explaining that "bookes are like cheese"

One flight into the semester long commute and I have pulled something getting my carry on out of the overhead bin. This is going to be a looooong semester.

Another exodus from the other site, from the sounds of it? If you're looking for the #EarlyModern gang, we've got three starter packs that compile a bunch of them. I can keep adding to the third, just poke. Here's the OG: go.bsky.app/VQeQbbF 1/3

One of those cases where you think it might be more complicated and then read the story to discover that it is not. The resident dean was removed after an organized campaign that surfaced speech - whether you like it or not - seemingly unrelated to their work at Harvard.

ICE is furious because the Hilton cancelled their reservation because of ICE’s immigration enforcement activities.

I fled that hellhole because of the routine rape and death threats Hindu Nazis sent my way. There is absolutely no reason on earth to use Twitter and feed Grok.

Not just the IT cell, troll culture in India in general. Plenty of citizens willing to step up and play brownshirt to the regime without pay or direct orders, both offline and online.

Oh well color me shocked. Given that Trump already said oil executives were briefed on the invasion before Congress, I cannot even imagine how much insider trading has gone on recently.

Utterly chilling reporting from the Prospect and NY times on trumps war in the Caribbean www.nytimes.com/2025/10/23/w...

A historic settlement returns $8.5 million and land to Black families in Portland, Oregon, who were displaced by a decades-old redevelopment scheme — and sets a precedent for cities nationwide.

BBC journalists have been banned from describing the kidnapped Venezuelan leader as having been kidnapped. The BBC News Editor has sent this to BBC journalists.
