With the attacks on science and academia by the current administration, if those of us who have tenure don't speak up, it's really hard to continue justifying the tenure system based on academic freedom.

The fact that I know more about Katy Perry and Lauren Sánchez’s 11-minute space trip than I do about Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito’s decades-long crime spree shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

There is only one way to end the war: put pressure on the Russians. The Trump people did the opposite: put pressure on Ukraine, and relieved pressure on Russia. They have made the war worse while talking of "peace."

It is really heartwarming to see, that across social media there are so many positive comments on my new video about Trump's attacks on Ukraine. With a little luck we will reach 1500 views today. Thank you to everyone watching! ♥️ youtu.be/dUed8hy5gaE

Colin is an amazing photographer for Scotland's Newsquest titles and a wonderful colleague. Please read this powerful piece about his bowel cancer experience. Thank you Colin for speaking up to help others www.heraldscotland.com/news/homenew...

Today Marilin Rehnfeldt passed. A brilliant Paraguayan Anthropologist she exemplified generosity and was a great supporter of all academic efforts on Paraguayan history and anthropology. She was a big supporter of my own research and will be terribly missed. QDEP

and yet they come to Europe and lecture everyone on free speech

First Carney, now Zelensky. Getting found out for the clown of a negotiator you truly are! 🤡🎪🤡

When disinformation floods the zone, the instinct is to explain, debunk, and fact-check. But in many cases, that doesn’t work. Mockery does. This thread explains why satire beats rebuttals in narrative warfare. #InformationWarfare #NarrativeControl #MediaLiteracy
