I’ll qualify this: The surprising thing about the “new paradigm” is not that the US now has an authoritarian foreign policy, but that the US is now treating Europe and Canada like it always treated Latin America and the Middle East

There's been lots written about how close the US-Ukraine intelligence relationship has been since 2015. Has anyone written anything about what Trump II means for Ukrainian intelligence (esp. in light of yesterday's events)? All recommendations appreciated!

Of the many very clever journalists to reach out, David Smith, the Guardian's Washington DC bureau chief, was the first. And his interview was a remarkable lesson in the technique, But the headline writers… Oy.

Två senegalesiska gatuförsäljare, tillika papperslösa, var de enda som försökte stoppa ett homofobt mord A Coruña 2021. De har nu fått en hedersutnämnelse som "adoptivsöner" till staden. Fint - men också en påminnelse om vilken typ av sanslösa hjältedåd som papperslösa måste begå för att erkännas.

The notion that Trump's "I'm king" tweet is "just trolling" or "a joke" presents an opportunity to recreate my just-joking thread (porting it over from the Bad Place): 1. I wrote my PhD dissertation on the social function of humor (in literature & film) and here's the thing about "just joking."

Anne Marie Hochhalter, a survivor of the 1999 Columbine High School massacre, died Sunday from the injuries she sustained during the attack. Her death underscores the stark reality that any shooting can result in a delayed death — a “nonfatal” shooting doesn't always retain that designation.

Ok sociology, what do you think are genuine breakthroughs that our field has made. Contributions that might convince skeptical but sympathetic academics (not the public) of the value of our field? I'll brainstorm some of mine in the thread - I treat sociology very broadly

We are getting to the point where ICT companies as well as goverments can map everything you do via phones, computers and surveillance cameras. Add AI to the mix and their profiling can be used to stop anyone opposing their agendas. We need a science policy that considers the consequeces of tech.
