I can't express how damaging this is, music and languages aren't just optional extras, they are at the core of what a university does: cultivate knowledge and culture in the next generation. And if they'll cut those, what's next? It's institutional self-destruction.

About 20 now have been arrested in Liverpool outside labour party conference for supporting Palestine and opposing genocide. Police slowly picking them off one by one. Some legend with a speaker is playing the Star wars imperial march every time the police swoop in to arrest.

To ignore the pivotal role archaeology has played in creating orientalist perceptions of Palestine which have been used to disconnect Palestinian from Palestine, to erase and silence, to justify occupation, is to be complicit.

More reasons not to rely on AI, Google AI overview is trying to tell me a song was recorded in 1998. It authoritatively cites the source as a compilation album from 1998. However, the singer died in 1978 & I have it on another compilation from 1988.
