Actually Bob, there are other ways to work towards solving global hunger: let's start w/paid labour. @lseblogs.bsky.social @jolittler.bsky.social @danbrockington.bsky.social @aoc.bsky.social @theguardian.com @stefanoponte.bsky.social blogs.lse.ac.uk/africaatlse/...

Do they know it’s payday?

Instead of being passive receivers of donations, it's time Ethiopians were paid for their work in the global compassion industry

#Internet traffic has once again started to increase in #Tanzania, climbing after 14:00 UTC. However, we will need to watch and see if connectivity remains available, or if recovery is short-lived, as it was on October 30.

When you see Mamdani looking all normal doing normal person things—petting bodega cats, riding public transport—you realize just how bizarre and estranged our average candidate for public office is. Rich martians in flesh suits

The uncertainty and violence in Tanzania are a dangerous moment.

We urge all parties to prevent further escalation.
The authorities must exercise maximum restraint and respect the right of assembly.
Single-party rule is not the way forward for Tanzania.

Social protection. It’s isn’t just for protecting the poor. It’s for maintaining the social fabric.

Michael Hobbes @michaelhobbes.bsky.social · 9d

Such a perfect example of what we all give up when we refuse to address basic inequalities. I don't want to live in a country where all the public space is militarized to keep hungry people from stealing food, just give them money to buy food!

MY GOD, SHOOT THIS INTO MY VEINS

In this messy controversy about quantification
and its bearing on standard logical rules we
simply tend to forget that concept formation
stands prior to quantification. The process of
thinking inevitably begins with a qualitative
(natural) language, no matter at which shore we
shall subsequently land.

Strategy is too often an idealised version of the university at odds with the lived experience of those who work there. Good strategy has to start with the problems and it has to be grounded in the reality of the university. It’s education, not spin.

"The Times is unlikely to sacrifice its journalistic credibility because of a laughably tenuous lawsuit and a few mean social media posts. But if Trump wants to let the paper’s team of top-notch First Amendment lawyers depose Mark Burnett, who are we to complain?" — @lizdye.bsky.social

Trump tries to stick up The New York Times with a water gun

The lawsuit is beyond parody, even by Trump's standards.

His brain is so badly broken that he really thinks rebranding the Department of Defense would've led to outright victories in Korea and Vietnam.

He's hawking the Pentagon like it's Trump Steaks. Probably going to place a glossy ad in Sharper Image next.
