Uh oh… The right isn’t going to like this. 🚨 NEW: A Justice Department official on the Charlie Kirk case told NBC News, “So far, there is no evidence connecting the suspect to any left-wing groups.”

Why is this horrible for Universities? Just about everyone who isn't a citizen or green card holder already who's hired for a tenure track faculty position is hired through an H1B and then, after 3-5 years, applies for a green card. This is literally "No more foreign professors can be hired"

cool cool cool

I am so fucking tired dude...

A college English class where they’re told to use AI to complete assignments. Why bother teaching at all? Especially the languages/literature. I’m sorry but I will judge any professor who does this, especially in fields like English and history

PSA: never trust Crowder

We will soon live in a world where the world's richest men will own and control all of the biggest social media companies and legacy media as well. Ellison, Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg etc. will control not only the production of news and information but how its disseminated on their platforms.

This oligarch bastard openly stated last year like a Bond villain that he envisions a world where AI surveillance will keep the masses in check. fortune.com/2024/09/17/o...

Larry Ellison just became the world's richest man. He's in talks to lead an acquisition bid of Tiktok and his son just completed a takeover of Paramount/CBS. By year's end, he will likely be in control of legacy media and the largest social media platform. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

I despise how hard YouTube actively fucks over its users and creators at every turn. Be sure to check your devices (Yes, plural DEVICE(S), because they’ve made it per device not just account), and make sure this setting is OFF! It’s potentially hiding thousands of videos from you.

We cannot allow ourselves to let this kind of speech or thinking to become normalized. Domestic violence is no joking matter. The sentiments expressed here are repulsive.

The 90s are back baby! Autism misinformation is in the news again!

How we talk about history is the issue where the media and political discourse is perhaps most out of touch with how out of touch Nigel Farage is with the British public, outside his core vocal minority

This is the thing: the political exploitation of migration is entirely cynical and not related to reality. Both Immigration and net migration fell from 2023 to 2024 - net drastically from 860,000 to 431,000. Did you notice people calming down about it or saying it now felt under control?

this post and the next highlights why I said it's important to keep track of this rhetoric. it's spreading and escalating. again I'm not saying mass imprisonment is going to happen but this is stochastic terrorism that doesn't necessarily need legal action or legislation

Transgender studies professor Dr. Susan Stryker tears Gavin Newsom a new one while accepting the Transgender Legacy Award from the California state legislature 🔥🔥🔥 @susanstryker.bsky.social

Absolutely disgusting. J.K. Rowling is a major Transphobe who is a HOLOCAUST DENIER. She is not to be trusted, her work must be boycotted. Demand Jessie Gender's account be free from suspension via survey, as it's blatant censorship against Trans people. #FreeJessieGender #TransRights 🏳️‍⚧️

Pop up VR event! Starting at the IWM in Duxford, I’ll be co hosting a VR experience about the psychological experience of drone warfare. The event will run from 10-4:30PM on August 14-17th. We will be in the American Air Hanger. No sign up required.

This is effectively a ban on trans scientists getting federal funding, straight up. It’s also effectively a ban on all scientific work that includes trans people.

new rule: if your opinion column’s premise can be answered immediately with the word “no” you aren’t allowed to write it

Against the recommendation of the Women and Equalities Commision, Labours Bridget Phillipson has confirmed Dr. Mary-Ann Stephenson as the new chair of the EHRC. She deleted her account here once we all noted her following list was full of transphobes.

Feel like I've been saying it til I'm blue in the face - but british trans people need to be very, very worried. The level of institutional capture at play is astonishing. You are genuinely not far off from being outlawed from existing outside your own home unless you compromise your legal identity

Excited to see my reappraisal of O'Casey's time in London appear in "Sean O'Casey in Context", edited by the fantastic James Moran. doi.org/10.1017/9781... It's an excellent volume, situating O'Casey in a far wider frame (aesthetically, ideologically, geographically) than he is usually afforded.

Anyone familiar with sources of good biographical material on Osbert Burdett?

Simply put, based on Starmer's own policies and rhetoric, he is either massively anti-migrant, anti-disabled and anti-trans/non-binary, or so weak willed to have his whole policy agenda driven by those who are. Either way, he has no defence and shows himself unfit to claim any moral integrity.

She walked out of her immigration hearing smiling — papers in hand, standing tall. She had no idea the man waiting in the hallway was ICE. No idea she was about to be detained. This is happening inside NYC’s immigration courts. Every day. #ICE

They really are just doubling down on “segregate trans people to a third space isn’t discrimination or outing them” absolutely bonkers shite

“One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss.” “Which means that Copenhagen, a city of 1.2 million people, saves $357 million a year on health costs because something like 80% of its population commutes by bike.” grist.org/biking/one-m...

British Academy postdoctoral fellowships scheme is now open. The deadline is 1 October. Time to get talking with potential host institutions and mentors about planning an application for this year or instead waiting for a future round. (The scheme is annual).

“If they run, we go” -ICE ICE has shown no signs of slowing down its raids, which, according to our analysis, appear targeted. From car washes to Home Depots, to a display of force and intimidation, these masked agents have stretched across LA, rounding up people with brown skin.

Autistics aren't merely "sensitive" to sound; autistic tendencies also include "expanded access to auditory information, heightened perception to pitch, difficulties dealing with speech in background noise, and taking longer to adapt to auditory environments.": www.nature.com/articles/s41...

✒️WRITER REQUEST: I'm writing a book chapter on queer women and non binary people's experiences of the gendered world of cancer treatment. If you're open to being interviewed, let me know! For a sense of my perspective, here's my piece for @divamag.bsky.social diva-magazine.com/2025/07/07/w...

If you ever needed a better demonstration of the cruelty is the point, this is it:

The DSM’s objectivity masks empire’s long dislocation: mind from body, person from land, suffering from power. This is a story of refusal, of relational knowing, and of healing what empire unmade. open.substack.com/pub/autside/...

And free admission tonight for First Fridays! Me and @lejhouston.bsky.social wrote a piece about censorship and the romance genre for this exhibition - keep an eye out for the print catalogue @molimuseum.bsky.social

You’d think this in Haaretz would be top of the BBC homepage but no. The chant by Bob Vylan at Glastonbury however is.

Do you have a fabulous MA student who is interested in the 1990s? Send this fully-funded 4 year AHRC doctoral studentship their way. They'll get to work with me (yay?) and the fabulous @jessamycarlson.bsky.social (yay!) www.swansea.ac.uk/postgraduate...

"The problem with AI isn't that it can do your job. It can't. The problem with AI is that your MBA-brained boss's boss doesn't know how your job works and thinks AI can do your job at fractions of a penny on the dollar, and hears the siren song of 'maximize shareholder value'." MBA-brain is real.

I am once again confronting the fact that over the course of a decade of being called a hysterical Elon Musk hater I never came close to imagining the depth of evil he was actually capable of.

Who committed the genocide? www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Guardian’s ed editor, Richard Adams, follows house style and does not mention the report’s author, Alice Sullivan, is one of the loudest anti-trans campaigners at a UK university. Add this report to the pile of similar official reports, such as ‘Racist Finds UK Not Institutionally Racist’,

The EHRC is meant to protect everyone’s rights. But internal documents reveal a different story: repeated meetings with anti-trans lobbyists, legal bias, and secret coordination. We filed the FOI. Here’s what we found. tacc.org.uk/2025/07/01/f...

This is no longer a case of outside influence. SexMatters have been handed a partnership, redefining the EHRC's operational function and guiding their involvement in this orchestrated "course correction" of erasure. This is a monumental scandal. Excellent work by @tacc.org.uk

🚨 Academic job alert! We are hiring 12 people at graduate, assistant professor, and full prof level in the 20th century history of Central/Eastern Europe. Our institute is growing, Warsaw is brilliant, and we want young and enthusiastic people. Join us!
