As a matter of principle, you can either have a dinner that celebrates the First Amendment or you can have a dinner that features Donald Trump. You can’t have both because the president holds the freedom of the press in contempt. www.mediamatters.org/donald-trump...
Right: [reviles academia for generations, celebrates deportations for writing op-eds and protesting, dismantles departments it doesn’t like, enacts de jure speech codes]
Left: [is sometimes annoying and unserious]
Some Academics:
And a complete lack of sober leadership.

Whilst I very much don’t want to look at everything globally through the lens of British political culture, I also want to point out that Matthew Goodwin was getting paid a lot of money by the Victor Orban led government and highly likely he won’t be from now on and that’s y’know very funny?
And been disrupting Europe. And disrupting Ukrainian defense.
It’s a huge win for the EU.
It was so useful, thank you!
Genius! @hobscowboy.bsky.social
With this and the floating jar of Nutella, this has been a huge moon mission for the chocolate industry.

I can't stop laughing at this post. It's perfect.
Oh I do think I will be making a submission on this.
The famous Andor line is that "tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle." Here is a perfect example of that through malicious compliance: Idaho forced the city of Boise to remove its Pride flags. So the city painted rainbows everywhere else.
This might be the best photograph ever taken. The camera is mounted on the end of a solar array on the Artemis II mission. The ship is in the shadow of the moon. The glow around the moon is the sun's corona. Earthlight is illuminating the left side of the moon and another solar array.
On Jan 28th ~ about 140 ships safely passed through the Strait of Hormuz
Then, the president spent $30 billion, threatened to commit a war crime & sent 13 US soldiers to their death …
To ensure that ships can safely enter the strait of Hormuz
THAT’S the art of the deal.

“Calling it a ruse, a con, a gaslight. The man on the screen calling it a war not a genocide”.
Adding to our anti-fascist playlist.
And if it comes and goes and nothing happens, and the apologists say “it was just a threat to get them to buckle, he never meant he’d actually do it,” it is morally correct to punch them in the face.
The Moon: oh wow you guys decided to come back
Artemis II crew: earth’s haunted
The President is openly threatening genocide. A crime against humanity. He must be removed from office.
The 25th Amendment must be invoked. If not, Congress has to do our damn job. Speaker Johnson, call us into session. War powers & impeachment. Remove this man from office.
So we have the Moon, a total solar eclipse and Venus....
I mean...

Just seen your pinned post - forgive me for I am now sure you know the cow/ice thing already. Atoning by ordering your book!
My favourite variant of “people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones” is a colloquial (and extremely rare) Swedish phrase that goes kasta inte bäver i trähus. It means “do not throw beavers in wooden houses.”
Without wishing to detract from the magnificent beavers, are you familiar with the Swedish expression (translated to avoid mangling the swedish original) "There's no cow on the ice."? Rough translation/usage, "Chill out, this is not a catastrophe."

I haven’t seen it much here but over on Threads there are A LOT of posts like this and honestly same.
Someone with the handle @velocity69.bsky.social is sharing a video with the caption:
"The highest quality video of the moon was just released…
so beautiful
* Artemis II"
It's gone viral, but it's not from Artemis II. If you've shared it, you might want to un-share.
Worth noting that the first part of the first sentence does not at all lead logically to its end.
The fact that "A.i." is becoming more widespread does NOT mean educators must learn to "integrate it as a tool."
Educators could in fact REJECT IT ENTIRELY.
And she just sounds like some CEO who doesn’t understand AI and is using mindless drivel to appear to embrace it
