There are over three decades of evidence that Israeli doctors harvest Palestinian organs in direct violation of international law. These stolen body parts were not just used for transplantation and research but for sale and profit. https://buff.ly/3CRrbd1 #Palestine #Israel

The Ghost Girl of Fellows Park This strange apparition would appear at #WalsallFC games howling the words, 'Why do I have to spend all of the afterlife watching this garbage? I wish I'd been born in Manchester.'

Excellent piece by @tomcalver.bsky.social debunking the myth that migrants who come on "dependant" visas don't work/contribute (1/2) www.thetimes.com/article/48e9...

At a time when serious allegations of child sexual abuse are stuck for years in the Crown Court backlog, and every part of the system is starved of resources, the prosecution of Sam Kerr - including the instruction of a silk in a case that appeared suitable for a pupil - is hard to understand.

Really crap 5-a-side team.

Not exaggerating when I say I would like a personal, handwritten apology from every pundit who barfed out a dozen "the left wants to change the way you talk!" op-eds based on non-mandatory guidelines in obscure PDFs.

I was just told that I have to remove “climate” from the title of an ongoing grant if I want to keep it. And publications from that grant cannot include “climate” and other forbidden words. I can’t believe I’m writing this from the United States of America. #AcademicSky

"The #OpenUniversity held £91.4 Million in an investment fund that holds 17.78% of its portfolio in companies complicit in the occupation, oppression, dispossession of the Palestinian people, ie £16,250,920 of the OU’s known investments" #BDS Please sign, if you can actionnetwork.org/petitions/we...

BOWDOIN COLLEGE DAY 4: Pictures from Bowdoin College SJP after taking over a campus building for the past three days. “Scenes from inside and outside the Shaban Al-Dalou encampment (2/6-2/8)” 👀👀👀 solidarity with the students! #FreePalestine 🇵🇸

Solidarity with young people across this country. You give me so much hope 🖤🫡 LONG LIVE THE STUDENT INTIFADA 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

Microsoft's own research confirms something that was already pretty obvious: relying on a text generating machine to come up with answers erodes critical thinking, and is a method favoured by those who never liked doing critical thinking in the first place advait.org/files/lee_20...

New. Welcome, criminals! Do you need to launder earnings from criminal operations? What you need is a ‘grey’ source of income, such as online gambling. You can then mingle any criminal proceeds with ‘legitimate’ gambling income. By @journoandy.bsky.social josimarfootball.com/2025/02/06/s...

My university has done this. New professional staff are excluded from the LGPS; new academic staff are excluded from the TPS, so they get worse, insecure pensions (which are pay) by not being actual university employees - something not mentioned in the job adverts.

"Reading Arendt’s reflections on our capacity to judge with 60 years of hindsight, what shall one say today of our own silence in the Western academy—with notable exceptions—about the genocide in Gaza?"

I think this was the last paper I gave before the pandemic, and with it the start of my very-bad-half-decade. It's still in my folder of papers-given-a-revise-decision-that-I-still-need-to-revise. Maybe (I'm trying to hope my very-bad-half-decade might be ending) I should force myself to revive it

I wrote 'Resisting AI' (subtitled 'An Anti-fascist approach to Artificial Intelligence') to help preempt the kind of convergence of far right politics and the tech sector that we are waking up to today. The struggle against fascistic solutionism continues. bristoluniversitypress.co.uk/resisting-ai

New episode alert! We talk to @danmcquillan.bsky.social about 'Resisting AI'. This is part 1. The second will drop next week! spotifycreators-web.app.link/e/WmtKw5FhAQb

The Labour tragedy: stunned/surprised at being in power, with no vision, pointless self-imposed limitations & essentially the same failed macro-economic model of the last 15 years, they resemble a miserabilist, bureaucratic wing of the Tory party. Failure opens space for deep(-er) Faragism.

It's been obvious for some time that the scale of Israel's mass slaughter of civilians in Gaza has been grossly underreported. This won't stop the denialists here and elsewhere, of course.

A peer-reviewed study published in The Lancet estimates more than 64,000 deaths in Gaza due to traumatic injury between Oct. 7, 2023 and June 30, 2024 — a figure 41% higher than the Gaza Health Ministry’s official count. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

looking to add to your list of resolutions for the new year? look no further than this thread right here. register & donate for any of the 11 workshops, classes, or reading groups to participate in this month that benefits Palestinians. encourage a friend or family member to join, as well!

I have some 10 year old, home-made mincemeat fermenting away. It probably has beef suet in it. I can't really remember. It'll be okay to eat, won't it?

This rot is so deep and and so macabre and so accommodated over decades by leaders - Mayors, Governors, both political parties, the DOJ. And we will never be a healthy democracy while this is a regular and tolerated aspect of the American criminal legal system.

Our impartial national broadcaster? Totally unfit for purpose. End it!
