Over the past two days, we brought together a multidisciplinary group of PhD students for a workshop on "Doing IPS". Shout-out to our amazing instructors @myducave.bsky.social, @mweitzel.bsky.social, and Nora El Qadim for inputs on concepts, critical methods, and unruly manuscripts!

For our upcoming PhD workshop, we will be joined by three stellar speakers: 🤖 @myducave.bsky.social will talk about “STS and International Security,” 🌍️ @mweitzel.bsky.social will teach on “Affect and Ethnography in IPS,” and 📚️ Nora El Qadim will offer insights into publishing in the #IPS journal!

This @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social piece is 💯 “Those in power may pretend not to know where the present political trajectories are taking us, but they seem to sense that they’ll have to hide.” www.bostonreview.net/articles/a-y...

To be very clear, that lady in the NYT article is not making any money with her hundreds of AI slop books. She makes money by *convincing people* she makes money that way and getting them to pay her to teach them how to do it. It's an evolved MLM, and the NYT is helping market it.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Re: Lufthansa and Starlink: "we have just signed up our entire airline group to the satellite internet run by the guy who brought you hits like 'Nazi salutes', 'Rhodesia was right' and 'non-consensual intimate image manipulation abuse, including of children'" is certainly quite the move.

By framing this brazen act of aggression in euphemistic terms, the media is falling in line with Trump.

Worry not — the guardians of the rules-based international order are “waiting for the facts” and “monitoring the situation”

The thing the mainstream media is not remembering about Hurricane Katrina is their own lethal, racist contribution to treating rumors as facts used to demonize the stranded in New Orleans, turning them from victims to be aided to enemies to be contained.

Puerto Rico is staring down a dirtier, and potentially darker, future — with little say over what happens.

Like I've said before, if you have any doubts about climate change, just go to a super-boring insurance conference and listen to the super-boring panels where they dryly talk about the growing threat of disasters so catastrophic and unpredictable in scope they simply cannot be insured at any price.
