Gazafication.

The Arsenal have barely been in the conversation for 20 years. Both teams are in consecutive CL semi-finals & the boys also lead the PL.
We are now THE conversation and I am grateful to players and staff for it. 👏🙏

I refuse to give up, to let them down - or to leave my seat early!

James Bond studio heads urge patience over casting announcement Executives from Amazon MGM are no closer to revealing who is lined up for the coveted role, saying, ‘We’re taking the time to do this with care and deep respect’

Really don’t want the announcement to distract from my academic work. Thought it’d be best to keep it quiet for a while longer.

We have too much artificial intelligence and not enough natural wisdom.

Trump to impose naval blockade on Hungary unless and until election results are reversed. “That country’s entire, vast coastline will be completely cut off,” the President warned, as he prepared to mobilize the United States’ unmatched Central European fleet.

Let’s wait for a bit but these Hungarian elections results are very, very exciting…

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Capitalism A Financial Times Book of the Year No other phenomenon has shaped human history as decisively as capitalism. It structures how we live and work, how we think about ourselves and others, how we organise our politics. Sven Beckert situates the story of capitalism within the largest conceivable geographical and historical framework in this fascinating new book. Capitalism, argues Beckert, was born global. Emerging from merchant communities across Asia, Africa and Europe, capitalism’s radical recasting of economic life rooted itself only gradually. Then it burst onto the world scene, as European states and merchants built a powerful alliance that would propel them across the oceans. This epic drama corresponded at no point to an idealised dream of free markets. All along, state-backed institutions and imperial expansions shaped its dynamics. Capitalism decentres the European perspective, highlighting agency, resistance, innovation and ruthless coercion around the world through to the present with the rise of Asian economies, particularly China. Sven Beckert doesn’t merely add up capitalism’s debits and credits in this monumental book, but allows us to think afresh about the past to help us re-imagine the future.

Sure. I am reading @svenbeckert.bsky.social’s latest at the moment. It’s ambitious, sophisticated (and long) but accessible. www.penguin.co.uk/books/295668...

Federal Judge Approves Trump Effort to Extract List of Jews From Penn The decision to allow the government to collect the names and phone numbers of Jewish people on campus could allow the government to pursue similar tactics elsewhere. • Listen • 3:32 min < 1 TODAY

As a Jewish historian who works at a university, I think it’s great that an administration committed to destroying “the internal globalist enemy” which is staffed by groyper antisemites is collecting lists of Jews. Can’t see any potential downside here at all.
