No women ever commented on, or took part in, Nuremberg then? No women ever discussed or thought about the problem of Nazi evil and its banality? No Rebecca West, Martha Gellhorn, no Janet Flanner, no Hannah Arendt? Just an all-boys affair for an all boys evil.

“whatever club he’s invited to join has been devalued by the invitation”
Tweet by Joyce Carol Oates: "wherever he goes, he wants to leave"--that's because when he gets there, he has brought his own self along; & whatever club he's invited to join has been devalued by the invitation. QT of @avidreader1000 Wherever he goes, he wants to leave: SA, Canada, ultimately the U.S. in the long run, based on his behavior. This also includes Earth. A continuous disavowal of your home is odd, to say the least. He seems to have no c...

The reaction to the Panorama edit has been nothing short of hysterical. Yes the BBC has some impartiality problems. But its biggest isn't the one you think.

New piece from me.

I guess it's thrilling to imagine oneself to be part of a mad chase to the creation of artificial life. But it's not just fun and games when that chase is being used to concentrate wealth & power and involves despoiling the physical & information ecosystems + massive labor exploitation.

#GenAI excels at processing text. But can it be relied on for #qualitative #research? Here's an #edDev #SOTL study analyzing #survey results exploring trust in the classroom which suggests being cautious about #AI use in research.

🚨 INVESTIGATION: Britain's maternity crisis has deeper roots, extending into the universities trusted to train the next generation of midwives. A majority are still promoting a normal birth ideology while women are more complex than ever:

Despite a litany of scandals, universities are still pushing ‘normal birth’ over medical interventions. Now our investigation has prompted the regulator to act

Seen that video of a hundred-year-old veteran weeping over his lost country and being comforted by the 'D-Day Darlings' in a poppy-bedecked morning TV studio? Assailed by a profound sense of unease? Of distaste? Of dread, even? Allow me to make it worse: tribunemag.co.uk/2025/08/afte...
After Captain Tom
The cultural memory of the Second World War has long been used to serve the interests of British conservatism. But now that the long post-war compact is over, has its meaning evaporated completely?

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.

Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."

Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

youtu.be/_fCKIR_t8iM?... Another oddity on the 'two people doing bits' theme. Most of the Tarnation stuff is just Paula (and if you sang like Paula you'd tell everyone to get out of the way too) but this a duet and it's brilliant

My second time. I think they're really special. It is kind of incredible to me that they are able to reproduce - and mostly exceed - the controlled use of noise and texture when they play live. I hope you get a chance to see them!
