NEW: Over 50,000 people attempted to block the founding convention for the new youth org of the far-right AfD party on Nov. 29 in Gießen, Germany. Wide-ranging actions-including 19 blockades around the small city-prevented a majority of participants from attending. Police violently beat blockaders.

I hope you take a look at the resources that professors Iris van Rooij and Olivia Guest are sharing. They are both Ph.D. in computational and cognitive science (in Artificial Intelligence departments). I think Iris has commented on this thread somewhere olivia.science/ai#letter

This Black Friday and Cyber Monday don’t buy into genocide. Avoid these brands enabling Israel’s ongoing genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza. https://loom.ly/TpPQsDY

Rest now sister. We have the kente. I'll see you in Wakanda.

There is probably plenty going on inside Bill Gates' head, but I reckon one of the most parsimonious explanations of why he's sagely pronouncing that climate groups need to stop worrying about short-term emissions targets can be found in the sustainability reports of the company he founded.

Hate self promoting posts! And not going to say 'I am delighted' 😂 but also no one will promote this for me 😂. So sod it! Please give my article some love or a repost. This article means a lot to me on food aid beyond the food bank! journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

"tech giant Google has allowed the government of Israel to purchase sponsored content spots so that online users searching on the Global Sumud Flotilla will be shown inaccurate, propagandized content accusing the flotilla participants of being allied with violent, terrorist elements"

Reporter: “Is mainstream media complicit in the genocide in Gaza?” Francesca Albanese: “What is most striking here is that Western media has effectively placed itself at the service of this genocidal enterprise.”

there’s a scene in the new documentary where Elizabeth Taylor is talking about the stigma of AIDS and how she got involved in the movement and it’s fucking everything

the rats nest that is the flow of money in AI compute is so unbelievably complicated and circular that i had to make a diagram

"To take a position against genocide is certainly not an antisemitic thing to do," says feminist scholar Judith Butler, who faces possible investigation by the Trump administration as part of its crackdown on pro-Palestinian activism.

I shouldn't brag about it, if I were you.

A group of philosophers consciously deciding yet again to be disappointing. They have such a special combination of polite rightwing spite and obtuseness.

Jimmy Kimmel, brother. Get your people to call my people.

Our small rectangular son, Character Limit, is one year old today! Thank you for making @rmac.bsky.social & my first year as authors so incredible! We are continually grateful to share this story with readers. 💙

Two high schoolers wrote a love letter about their high school librarian and the banned books club they're part of. This is really moving and thoughtful and a reminder that kids know exactly what the hell is going on right now. www.chalkbeat.org/2025/09/09/s...

He'll enjoy the jaunt in this pumpkin carriage thing I suppose, bit like being a tourist in Central Park

"Anti-immigrant march" is such a telling phrase. An immigrant is just a person who exercises the freedom they are born with, which is recognised by all human rights legislation, and moves across imaginary lines on the ground. Being "anti-immigrant" means anti-movement, anti-freedom and anti-person.

Just a very small sampling of the daily work of municipalities in Gaza. In Khan Younis municipality: Municipal workers backfilling in roads to allow better access for first responders (Sept 3). Working to restore water pumping to neighborhoods recently designated as "humanitarian" zones. (Sept 11).

The Irish broadcaster, RTÉ, has said it will not take part in the 2026 Eurovision Song Contest "if the participation of Israel goes ahead" www.bbc.com/news/article...

i cannot comprehend what this means

Jesus fucking christ

Respectfully, I disagree. I think the celebrated designer shoes, suits or watches of any executive cutting the wages & benefits of other workers are fair game to highlight. The obscene pay and display of uni execs are emblematic, just as politicians owning 5 houses is relevant to the housing crisis.

It's in just the same euphemistic gobbledigook as the 'restructure' by my employer.

an interesting reflection of my UNESCO keynote from Ilkka Tuomi www.linkedin.com/pulse/aied-p...
