‘Soaked in Blood,’ the Middle East Eye documentary that just won a Webby award, was produced by a team that included cameraman Mohamed Salama, who was killed before its release in an Israeli double-tap strike on Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza.
DoJ targeting a NGO they used to rely on because the NGO won’t push right-wing propaganda
...about the only thing philosophers of science, STS researchers, and practicing scientists agree on is that science is about the process rather than the outputs.
70 Minnesota children.
Delta Air Lines, who likely flew nearly all of these kiddos out of MSP, could publicly condemn this and end the practice tomorrow, as the airlines did in 2018 with family separation, but it’s easier to stay silent.
So now we've established that Mandelson is a corrupting force that sullies everything and everyone in his sphere of influence, what are we going to do about the fact he hand-picked the entirety of Labour's 2024 intake of new MPs?
A screenshot of a post on X (formerly Twitter) by Magyar Péter (Ne féljetek), with the handle @magyarpeterMP. The post reads: "Until 31 May, the Orbán puppets may voluntarily step down from their positions. This applies to the President of Hungary, the President of the Curia, the President of the National Office for the Judiciary, the President of the Constitutional Court, and the Prosecutor General. On 12 April, the Hungarian people voted for a complete political transformation. If these officials do not step down voluntarily by 31 May, then — on the basis of the mandate received from millions of Hungarians — we will remove them from office." At the bottom, the timestamp reads "3:04 AM • Apr 21, 2026" alongside "19.9K Views".
Peter Magyar is not playing around at all. He's going to purge every single remnant of corrupt Orbanism. This is exactly how Dems need to be when they retake power.
This is your fault, Martha’s Vineyard dinner party hosts. If only you had been as nice as the people on Epstein Island, this poor beleaguered man would still be cited on Fox News as “even liberal Alan Dershowitz.” But not anymore. You just had to take it too far.
“What I didn’t know was that measles can cause long-term complications. A child can seem fine while the virus slowly replicates in her brain… Because both Britain and the United States are confronting outbreaks, I am sharing my story. Parents should know just how dangerous this disease is.”
There is no greater fraud than this cross Atlantic attempt to silence students who have no power while ensuring people with power can speak without criticism. That's what this is all about. Protecting power and gaslighting us that it is about protecting speech.
Thanks. The Google document above doesn’t have a link to signing up (or if it does I couldn’t find it)
so here's the thing about robbins' committee appearance. if you understand how this all works and you understand how civil servants speak, he's basically destroyed starmer's reputation and any notion he has sound judgement. the problem is the one group you can guarantee don't understand is the media
I.e. there is no attached form for signatures
How would one go about signing the open letter?
Friends.... If you are an academic at a UK university please consider signing this re the ban on student visas for folks from Afghanistan, Cameroon, Myanmar and Sudan : docs.google.com/document/d/1...
That’s called Brother printers, brother
Probably had to do with the later seasons when the plot got mental
I imagine it’s difficult to produce high-quality work when you’re routinely writing twenty minutes to deadline. But on the other hand, you do get six figures for twenty-minutes work per week!
I think it’s butchering the English language for Michael Deacon’s Telegraph column to be billed as ‘satirical’: he’s histrionic, stuck in hyperpolitics, ignorant on all subjects, lazy, unoriginal, etc. So what is he satirising? Is this a Swiftian satire of the UK commentariat?
An article in the Times today by Kathleen Stock in which she claims, incorrectly, that ‘when the gay rights cause first got going, the ideal was toleration’.
To correct the record:
The gay rights movement I was a part of in the 1980s and 90s was not aiming for ‘toleration’.
Mere acceptance was not enough.
How would that help the isolated queer kid?
No. We wanted that child to know they would be loved and celebrated just as they were.
Absolutely fucking incredible that there's *another* nonce related angle to this.
We need at least 25 tickets sold for this event to go ahead, so all reposts are very much appreciated! Better yet, come along!

Just read the Yale report on Trust in Higher Education. You will be shocked, no doubt, to learn that it did not occur IN THE SLIGHTEST to a committee at a top American university looking at trust in American higher ed to use any other country's experiences to pose intelligent counterfactuals.
Odd timing to make Peter Magyar deal with this in the immediate aftermath of his win, but clearly it was coming given how blatantly the Orban law clashed with EU principles www.politico.eu/article/eu-t...
The boys are back in school (the boys are back in scho-oo-ool)
First point in my summary of modern-day conservative intellectual thought: bsky.app/profile/nate...
And what her particular bizarre notion of reactionary feminism has got her, of course, is a lucrative national platform and thousands of supporters, for someone who a decade ago was a worker-bee in a very obscure backwater of the philosophy of aesthetics.
Stock's assertion here that nobody supporting trans people ever believed what they said, and were just doing it to climb the corporate ladder, is a remarkable admission that people like this don't believe in the possibility of unselfish ideals.
Feminism for them really is "What can I get?"
A truly remarkable read - a billion years of evolution created "electric motors" inside bacteria, driven by individual protons...
On the other hand, no one ever lost money by telling billionaires what they want to hear. The airwaves are full of the oligarchs' minions, reciting their creeds as if these were some kind of arcane truth they've stumbled across. Almost every political conversation is dominated by these elite lies.
