Cornell is cancelling a distinguished professor's classes on Gaza and suspending him because of the complaints of a student who previously served in Israel's military surveillance agency and was literally recording the comments of other students in class and deliberately derailing discussion.
Early last semester, Droubi said, students began approaching Cheyfitz with complaints that a graduate student in the “Gaza, Indigeneity, Resistance” class appeared to be recording them, possibly to “gather their names and comments” and intimidate them. “We believe that a student came to the course for the sole reason of surveilling and potentially harming students in the class,” Droubi said. “That ended up proving itself to be true because multiple students came forward and shared their concerns with Professor Cheyfitz.” Cheyfitz said one Palestinian student quit the class after telling him she felt upset and frightened. Current Issue Cover of October 2025 Issue October 2025 Issue According to Cheyfitz, the graduate student often steered conversations away from the assigned readings—which at that point mostly focused on definitions of genocide and international law on Indigenous rights—to defend Israel’s conduct in the war in Gaza and argue with others in the class. “He clearly had not done the readings,” Cheyfitz said. “It was disruptive.” Cheyfitz said he met with the graduate student in late January and spoke to him about concerns from his classmates. During the conversation, he asked the graduate student to drop the course, and by the next class, he did, Cheyfitz said. The graduate student, Oren Renard, a PhD candidate in computer science whose identity was confirmed by other students in the class, previously served in Israel’s elite military surveillance agency, Unit 8200, according to his LinkedIn profile.

Same playbook that the Chinese Communist Party has been using to disrupt any constructive academic discussion of its human rights abuses on American campuses: sending provocateurs with party or military backgrounds to disrupt class or event proceedings and recording the faces of every attendee.

New, w/ @mulchy.bsky.social & @djbyrnes1.bsky.social:

ICE shot & killed an immigrant in the Chicago suburbs yesterday.

Then they immediately gave a misleading account of events.

Chicago erupted in chaos and a father who lived here for decades is dead. This is what really happened:
What happened to Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez
Immigration agents shot and killed an unarmed 38-year-old father outside Chicago on Friday—and their initial narrative of events was quickly disproven by videos captured by witnesses.

Protesters banged pots and pans on Downing Street in London to denounce Gaza’s urgent hunger crisis.

The protest follows reports that over 1,000 Palestinians were shot while queuing for food. Gaza’s Health Ministry says 122 people have died of starvation.

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have developed an antiviral chewing gum that may help reduce the spread of viruses. In lab studies, it cut down viral loads of two herpes simplex viruses (HSV-1 and HSV-2) and two influenza A strains (H1N1 and H3N2) by more than 95%. 🧪🧵⬇️

North Korea is one of the most secretive nations in the world. Due to its strict censorship and isolation, little is known about the lives of those living there, sparking a curiosity among some Sth Koreans to learn more about their reclusive neighbour. aje.io/koreas

HOW COOL IS THIS? A battery that needs feeding instead of charging? This is EXACTLY what researchers at EMPA have achieved with their 3D-printed microbial fuel cell powered by FUNGI, designed to generate electricity AND biodegrade once its task is done.

Let’s talk about that! 🧪🧵⬇️

A 7-year universal basic income project in Welle, Uganda, released preliminary results in 2023 after the first 2.5 years. In a village of 350 people, everyone (adult + child) is receiving the same amount (€15/mo).

Extreme poverty has decreased from 55% to 10%.

The universal basic income project started in August 2020 in the village of Welle, Uganda, in cooperation with the Ugandan NGO AFARD. The village then had 350 inhabitants, more than half of whom lived in extreme poverty. For the past three years, INclusion gave all the inhabitants of Welle - adults and children - 15 euros per month, without conditions. Such a partial basic income is called an unconditional cash transfer (UCT) in discussion of development cooperation and aid. Concrete findings A "baseline measurement" was conducted before the project began, and in December 2022 residents were interviewed again so that it could be assessed what had changed after 2.5 years. The just-released research report was written by Lisa van Dongen, PhD candidate at the Faculty of Economics Some of Van Dongen, Lensink and Mueller’s concrete findings are: extreme poverty has decreased from 55% to 10% food security increased significantly, as did access to clean drinking water elementary school participation increased from 70% to 87% there was 75% less dropout from work and school due to illness many residents built new, more sustainable homes residents also invested in land for agriculture the percentage of households owning cattle increased from 9% to 49% ownership of solar panels increased from 19% to 74% Given all these positive changes, it is not surprising that the residents also told the interviewers that their stress has greatly decreased - such as daily worries about food and medicine - and that they are now more optimistic about their future

Dec 7th #otd in 1938, The @nytimes.com reported on the dissolution of Bette Davis’s marriage with Harmon “Oscar” Nelson. The stated reason for the divorce? The actress read too much. The report goes on to say: Harmon “usually just sat there while his wife read ‘to an unnecessary degree'.”

Reflecting on Universal Basic Income, one can't help but ponder: if lifelong financial security was a given, how many hidden talents will flourish? How many entrepreneurs, artists, and inventors are we losing to the mere grind of bare survival? It's high time we unlock humanity's full potential.
