“Canada believes Ethiopia has made “initial progress” on peace initiatives, human-rights accountability and transitional justice for atrocities in Tigray and in current conflicts in the Amhara and Oromia regions, the memo said.” Extraordinary, the alternative universe of Canadian diplomats.

“These researchers told me that racism is too complex to fit in a model. This raises a secondary question: If we cannot put racism within this model, then who is the model for?” Fascinating convo on ‘neurocriminality’ & flawed scientific endeavours to locate biological roots of violence in Logic(s)

seeing takes about the aid institutions and their role in imperialism. correct. If someone said "investor-owned hospitals exploit the vulnerable to benefit shareholders" I'd nod. If their followup was "and that's why I'm turning off your mom's dialysis machine" I'd...have some followup questions

Farage talking about a “cover up” on Southport is the most transparent grift. The reason we only heard details about the killer yesterday was because he entered a guilty plea and there was no longer a risk of prejudicing a jury - so contempt of court laws no longer applied. Farage knows this.

what I (somewhat fumblingly) told a group of students last year is that you are trying to “glimpse your own cryptid.” what appears to people later as a solid aesthetic vision just begins as that personal glitch between trees.

Apple is putting inaccurate headlines on curated news articles, Meta is planning to flood its networks with AI bots mimicking humans, Google is pushing AI-driven search that often throws up false results ... Generative AI is the next big thing – but what does this mean for us?

I spent some time at a remote monastery in Ethiopia's Tigray region, learning how the community that safeguards the world's world's oldest 'illuminated' christian gospels are coping with traumatic grief in the aftermath of war My feature for @newlinesmag.bsky.social newlinesmag.com/reportage/th...

Yesterday, I shared a photo of the Garima Gospels taken over a decade ago, during my PhD work in Tigray. Today, this excellent article on Garima in 2024 was published. It's nominally about the Gospels, but so much more than that: grief, trauma, and a devastating war. newlinesmag.com/reportage/th...

Excellent read @clairelwilmot.bsky.social & @newlinesmag.bsky.social. Tragic and often forgotten conflict in Tigray. This piece really helps give context and share the realities of the conflict in the fascinating lens of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church newlinesmag.com/reportage/th...

Don't be fooled by these weasels. Their opportunism is now on full display. For years they pandered to the Assad regime, they provided justification for wholesale bombing of cities, wilfully committed themselves as propagandists. Now they trying to salvage their reputation. Never.
