"No matter who hoists the cup at the tournament’s conclusion, it is undoubted that they will have blood on their hands." Our case in @halifaxexaminer.ca against complicity in the MAGA World Cup. www.halifaxexaminer.ca/commentary/e...

let’s just get rid of fucking grades already so we can focus on educating

microsoft teams is the literal worst technology i’ve ever seen used widely in higher ed how did this happen and who paid for it?

Fucking wild news here. UEFA and FIFA are, as we knew, directly complicit in illegal settlements and genocide.

The Modern University ™️ committed to intellectual and social development.

My employer, the University of Toronto, is sponsoring a WEAPON TRADE SHOW: Why on earth do that amidst a series of genocides? More details here: actionnetwork.org/letters/dema...

We are doing a few things right over @endofsportpod.bsky.social. You can find our second account here: www.tiktok.com/@endofsport?...

Our university forced cuts on the Faculty of Arts & Science, said they couldn’t afford TAs, cut a mountain of admin staff, and told us the university was facing deficits in the tens of millions. Now we learn there was an $84M surplus — but apparently it can’t be used for actual education.

And this folks is exactly why universities shovel money towards accountants and consultants. Faculty unions: if you don’t already have one, IMMEDIATELY create your own university finances task force to shadow them.

The question is clear. The response suggests that the Canadian Senate Human Rights Committee has determined that if a Jewish person considers critique of Israeli genocide to be ‘antisemitic,’ then the committee accepts that premise at face value—including, explicitly, on university campuses.

this whole “keep politics out of [insert academic association]” is fucking so stupid because we all know the very act of becoming an association is political academics are insufferable

“Elbows up!” amirite?

Canada has just banned Iranian football officials from attending FIFA Congress in Vancouver after previously impeding the entry of the Palestinian FA. We argue for @breachmedia.ca that this is just the latest evidence of Canada's absurdly-Zionist immigration double-standards.

Our latest for @breachmedia.ca is all about the hypocrisy of Canadian sports diplomacy. Check it out below.

I’ve received 5 password reset request for my ASA account so I guess this pissed some people off?

Lmfao the American Sociological Association is such a joke organization. There are many spaces for sociologists to go, not least of which, ironically, is the other ASA — American Studies Association.

As someone who used to do this very job in my former life, I can confirm it was almost certainly appalling behaviour by Canadian authorities.

Gerald Horne & I went on @endofsportpod.bsky.social to discuss boxing's Jake Paul problem, his whiteness problem, the racially fraught history of the sport as an allegory for the crisis US imperialism. ty @privaricate.bsky.social & @annaposbergh.bsky.social for this great convo 🙏 Link below 👇

It was a pleasure to host @tonyjballas.bsky.social & Gerald Horne on the show!

There is, in fact, no such thing as a hospital in deficit.

Why listen to a bunch of twitter reactionaries talk about ‘racial capitalism’ when you can hear the brilliant Dr. Charisse Burden-Stella? Can’t miss non-sports episode of @endofsportpod.bsky.social.

Institutions that pay administrators more than professors are not universities, they're business centers with a motto.

AI will soon unlock the dream of many upper level administrators, a faculty free university. Followed closely behind by a faculty and student free university.

Ask your local faculty union organizer how they know

people that work in college admin are getting sent to reeducation camps to break rocks

Correct. This is an pan-university problem.

A lot of the upper management in most universities around the world think that academics and students are problems instead of the the whole point. Sometimes I wonder how they manage to tie their own shoes.

It doesn’t matter how unpopular he becomes; Trump is an opportunity to achieve the long-held goals that many people leading our institutions refuse to waste.

LOL Alt-text: Quote from The Harvard Crimson "Recent evidence suggests that Harvard's upper admin sees its own faculty as a problem that needs to be solved. President Garber blamed faculty activism — not the Trump administration's lawsuits and attacks — for having chilled free speech on campus."

it's the practice of free speech that is the real threat to free speech. if you just shut up, speech would be free.

“Recent evidence suggests that [insert university name]’s upper administration sees its own faculty as a problem that needs to be solved.”

Will die on this hill

I simply don’t think I can be convinced that any ‘critical’ academic crossing the floor to administration can ever be better than an alternative. If the academic were truly ‘critical’ they wouldn’t cross the floor in the first place.

Huge news: Jordan Acker, who infamously pushed state to prosecute UM student protestors, loses bid for re-election to UM Regents. The winner: Amir Makled, who provided pro bono legal support to those same UM students. Enormous victory for the Palestine/student solidarity movement.

So proud of an athlete I coach, Kristian Jamieson, an incredible person and descendent of the great Tom Longboat. Kristian just ran the Boston Marathon in 2:33:48 and came 532nd overall. Read more about Kristian here: www.cbc.ca/news/indigen...

Listening to @endofsportpod.bsky.social 's @nkalamb.bsky.social + @derekcrim.bsky.social talk about college football! As someone who went to high school in Ohio, it's really moving to hear people call out the racial capitalism of college football. uncpress.org/978146968346...

Dystopia-maxxing: a predictions market announcing that the US is intending to wage an illegal war of aggression against the beleaguered people of Cuba. Fuck this timeline. Truly.

For a full takedown of this abhorrent parasitic industry see our recent episode with Adam Johnson. youtu.be/BHqK3wWh9ho?...

52% of US men between the ages of 18-49 have an active sports betting account. This is what you get when the sports/media complex goes all-in on gambling. Hard to overstate how troubling a development this is for fans and athletes alike. sri.siena.edu/2026/04/13/m...

🚨 TOMORROW 🚨 Myself and @nkalamb.bsky.social will be at @carleton.ca to talk about how we need to abolish the morally unsustainable system of college football. 11AM TO 1PM. A720 Loeb Bldg or Zoom. Register: carleton.ca/socanth/even...

26 years old from South Sudan. He has been in the US since age 13, when he was recruited to the country for basketball. Now being discarded as if he was human refuse. Shame on Syracuse for not intervening. www.syracuse.com/news/2026/04...

I can’t believe we still have to say this in 2026 HR departments are just a bunch of cops we let into organizations act accordingly

Montreal! Come hang out!! Next Thursday 7-9 at Co-op Bar Milton-Parc!

The NYT straight up reports that Mossad is responsible for fomenting protest in Iran. Congratulations to all who have collaborated. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/07/u...

get out in the streets and fight this or you’re the problem

Trump is promising to commit genocide. "A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again." A clear, indisputable statement of intent.
