"The more disruption occurs, the more financial models adapt to expect it. This means that every disruption is effective, whether or not it stops a project outright. Even when it looks like we’re losing, we’re shifting the risk landscape"

I wrote an extended essay on the transformation of the fossil fuel industry and the key vulnerabilities it exposes. These weaknesses are baked into the industry’s own logic of risk. In essence, every disruption matters.

Mainstream US journalists are fed up of seeing their credibility going down the pan. Giving this sanctimonious dweeb what he so richly deserves.

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

VANCE: No, George, I sai--

Once American democracy made it possible for a Black man to be elected president, American conservatives decided that it had to be destroyed

While Vought traces the “leftwing revolution” back a hundred years, to the progressive era, there is no question that the election of Barack Obama was a radicalizing moment for him and many key thinkers on the radical Right - as were the multiracial protests in the summer of 2020.

The hatemonger Rupert Lowe MP wrote a whiny letter to @thebarcouncil.bsky.social complaining about the Black Interns scheme.

Well done Bar Council and Bar Chair for this robust response.

Higher Ed in 2025 is opening your mailbox to see that your institution has sent you:

1. A Center for Teaching and Learning call to integrate AI into your classroom; and

2. An Office of Academic Integrity email encouraging you to crack down on students who use AI to cheat.

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

For reasons, I was reminded that my former bosses in the UK didn't like my handbook chapter about postmodernism, because such output 'displays the profound questioning of the authority and relevance of mainstream management thinking and practice'.

Doing politics the right way is when the far-right regime in power memorializes a fallen influencer by terrorizing an academic that the influencer's McCarthyist organization once baselessly singled out for abuse.

Some women were actual founders of antifa, not just ‘girlfriends’

Sophie Scholl was a member of White Rose, an anti-Nazi group at the university of Munich. She was murdered by the Nazi regime (for treason) on 22 February, 1943 She was only 21 years old
