the funny thing is, PhD stipends are so low that you could hire me for a year or this "PhD-level agent" for a month 🙃 #academia

THIS!! The big question, which for so long sounded kind of reformist, but is now both urgent and radical is: WHO IS the subject of rights?
The saddest thing is that Bezos doesn't even mean "personal liberties and free markets." The Washington Post isn't going to write editorials about the personal liberties of trans people or undocumented workers nor are they going to even write something arguing against tariffs.

This is a very good read about how the promise of an open, global social sphere, was transformed by social media into a realm of extremist echo chambers.
New America's Akash Kapur connected with Nicholas Carr after the publication of his new book, Superbloom: How Technologies of Connection Tear Us Apart, which explores the broader forces and patterns underlying social media's corrosive effects on people and society.

Heine’s message is right there in the Bebelplatz: “it was just the beginning, where books are burned, eventually people will be burned too”.
The university just decided to cancel our event. Dark times for academic freedom and international law and a very dangerous precedent
