It’s going to sound quaint, but the best way to resist an AI takeover of the humanities is to assign physical books, sit around, read them, and argue about ideas. Academic has become such a competitive arena, that we ourselves are trained to look for the winning angle, instead of the best education.

yes i am sure
Obviously things have got dramatically worse in the US recently, and I don't want to diminish that, but I've been at *so many* conferences in the UK on topics like empire, humanitarianism and development where multiple speakers from the Global South have been denied visas or held at the border
I find “people don’t actually know how things work” has a lot of explanatory power.
I don’t mean this in a holier-than-thou way. I’m only vaguely aware of how my microwave or the car radio work. A lot of modern life is assuming the functioning of complex tech and models.

A dog in a tie happily typing on a laptop while intense military combat takes place behind them.
Me, working on my little articles and book projects in February 2025:
My chapter with Thiago Borne, “Science Fiction “Using Science Fiction to Teach IR Theory: From Fictional to Theoretical Narratives (and Back)” was just published in the Handbook on the Pedagogy of IRT: link.springer.com/chapter/10.1...
The idea he’s defending, that “politics as usual” is the solution to what’s going on right now, is unhinged and knowing it’s coming form a dem staffer actually explains a lot
Lembrando que o que está acontecendo nos EUA com as agências e órgãos federais é exatamente o projeto dos liberais brasileiros quando falam em fim da estabilidade

Mas não menos importante é pensar nesse momento em todos os bolsonaristas que, tão “patriotas”, estão revoltados com a primeira indicação do Brasil ao Oscar na categoria PRINCIPAL por um filme que denuncia a ditadura.
Fica aqui meu pedido de desculpas público pra todos que estão recebendo lembrete de parecer da Monções hoje 😬
Nao sei voces, mas já passaram 24h e eu ainda nao cansei de ver videos da Fernanda Torres ganhando o Globo de Ouro e eu ainda nao parei de encher os olhos de lagrimas - principalmente nos videos que falam/mostram a Fernanda Montenegro. Mulheres gigantes.
Contexto Internacional just published a special issue on Global South Sicence Fiction and Critical Approaches to International Politics, organized by @thiagor.bsky.social, Thiago Borne, and me. All articles are open access :)

Academia runs on contacting other academics out of the blue and saying HEY do you wanna do this COOL THING for essentially NO REWARD and equally certainly NO RECOGNITION from your employer and those people going OH MAN that sounds AWESOME sign me up for the COOL NO REWARD NO RECOGNITION EXPERIENCE.
Acho que já está mais do que claro que os seus canudinhos de metal, sacolas de papel, banhos curtos…não vão salvar o planeta, né?! Propagam essas históriade “seja a mudança que você quer para o mundo” para alienar o povo sobre os reais responsáveis - RICOS. Sem alguma insurgência, vamos morrer.
Today a senior exec from Taylor & Francis replied confirming that T&F journal articles *are* and will continue to be provided to its AI partners for model training, with *no opt-out*. Guess we know where we stand now - academics are creators of data for value generation by Big AI and publishers
Só desvaloriza o diploma quem compra papinho de quem é herdeiro. Só desvaloriza CLT quem compra papinho de quem nunca viveu em situação precária. O diploma universitário ainda é a maneira + garantida de ter ascensão social. A universidade pública ainda é o maior programa de ascensão social do país.
Literalmente
🧶 THREADS → um Twitter reimaginado por usuários do Instagram que nunca usaram o Twitter – ou que usavam de forma secundária para alavancar seu conteúdo do IG
🦋 BLUESKY → a utopia do tuiteiro raiz de voltar no tempo e refazer o futuro do Twitter antes das bifurcações equivocadas que a rede trilhou
Musk is intruding into an area of my expertise: investor-state arbitration (sometimes called ISDS).
This threat is laughable. Even Judge O’Connor can’t help him follow through, for a dozen reasons.
